帮忙啦，求英语句意

Answer 1

我们先给大家介绍：to
let
the
cat
out
of
the
bag。从字面上来解释，to
let
the
cat
out
of
the
bag它的意思是：让那只猫从口袋里出来。但是，它的实际意思是：在不小心的情况下泻露了秘密。下面这个例子就能说明这个俗语的意思：
例句-1:I
bought
a
nice
wrist
watch
as
a
surprise
for
my
wife's
birthday.
But
I'm
afraid
I
let
the
cat
out
of
the
bag--I
hid
it
under
my
socks
and
she
found
it
when
she
was
putting
my
clean
clothes
away.
这位丈夫说：我给我太太买了一只很好的手表作为生日礼。我把手表藏在我的袜子底下，可是当我太太替我把乾净衣服放好的时候，她发现了那只手表。所以，我的秘密恐怕已经泻露了。
