Now, as in those far-off Civil War days, getting information by the grapevine remains something of a game. A friend brings you a bit of strange news. "No," you say, "it just can't be true! Who told you?" Comes the answer, "I got it by the grapevine."现在,在内战早已远去的日子里,获取小道信息仍保留着鬼把戏的味道.一个朋友给你带来一个奇怪的消息. "不,"你说,"这不可能是真的!谁告诉你吗?"他回答道:"这是我得到的小道消息."
