a little bird told me
  学英语是个循序渐进的过程，每天掌握好一个英语口语表达，利用闲暇时间日积月累学英语。今天的英语口语表达是：a little bird told me.
  这个口语表达的意思不是“小鸟告诉我”的意思哦，a little bird除了“小鸟”的意思，还有“消息灵通人士”的意思，那这个英语口语表达的意思就是：一个消息灵通人士告诉我。用来表示，你所说的消息是听说的，或者你不想透露消息的来源。

  -It's very kind of you.How did you know I wanted this book?
  -你真是太好了。你怎么知道我想要这本书的？
  -A little bird told me.
  -我听说的啊。
  -You don't say.How did you learn they were getting a divorce?
  -不会吧？你怎么知道他们离婚了的？
  -Oh,a little bird told me.
  -哦，一个消息灵通人士告诉我的。
  下面我们再看几个例句，强化一下这个表达：
  -How did you know they were getting married?
  -你怎么知道他们快结婚了？
  -A little bird told me.They fell for each other head over heels.
  -我听说的。他们深深爱上了对方。
  -Thank you for the beautiful present!How did you find out it's my birthday?

  -A little bird told me.
  -我听说的啊。
  A little bird told me you might be applying for another job.
