Ally: My friend Susana will turn 12 next Saturday. Her family will give her a surprise party.

Andy: Sounds nice. But don’t spill the beans before the party.

我的朋友Susana要过12岁生日了，她家人要为她庆祝，但事先不想让她知道，要给她一个惊喜。Andy 提醒我不要spillthe beans, 也就是不要泄露秘密。

Spill是撒的意思，beans是豆子，豆子撒了就是泄露秘密。

I promise I won’t spill the beans.

我保证不说出去。

I am not sure who spilled the beans.

我不太确定是谁泄露了秘密。

Andy: Ally, can I trust you?

Ally: Of course, I am your sister!

Andy: I will tell you a secret. I got a B in my English test. I feel terrible. Please don’t tell mom and dad.

Ally:  I won’t spill the beans, but you have to work harder next time.
