      a little bird told me 聽說

      a little bird told me
      我從別人那裡聽來的

      這裡的 little bird 指的是一種秘密的消息管道。

      許多人相信這句話起源於舊約聖經《傳道書》(Ecclesiastes),裡頭有一段提到:「空中的鳥兒必傳揚這聲音,有翅膀的必述說這事。」所以當人們不想說出消息來源時,就會說 "a little bird told me"。

      另一種說法則認為它源於所羅門王時代。有一次所羅門王召集所有的鳥兒,但其中一種叫 Lapwing 的小鳥竟然忘了出席!為了逃避處分,牠向所羅門王解釋:那是因為示巴女王 (the Queen of Sheba) 把牠找去,想藉由牠來安排朝覲的時間;同時就在所羅門王滿心期待時,Lapwing 又趕緊向示巴女王表示所羅門王很想見她。而後據舊約聖經記載,示巴女王的確曾攜帶許多寶物朝覲所羅門王。後來人們就引用這個故事,以「小鳥」當作秘密消息的來源。
