Subject：I wish I could a fly on the wall.,迷你对话,A: They are talking about thir paper! Have you finished your paper?,他们正在讨论论文的事情！你的论文完成了吗？,B:No, I am worrying about that these days. I wish I could be a fly on the wall.,还没有，我这几天正在担心这事情呢，真希望能听偷听到他们的谈话。,地道表达,a fly on the wall,1.解词释义,成为一只伏在墙上的苍蝇才不会引起别人的注意。不光可以清清楚楚地偷听到别人的很机密的谈话，而且还相当隐蔽，做得到神不知鬼不觉，从而不会被别人发现。根据这一生动的想象，就有这个说法了：a fly on the wall。用之来比喻“偷听别人说话”。其英文解释为：If you say you would like to be a fly on the wall in a certain situation, you mean that you would like to be there secretly to see and hear what happens.,2. 拓展例句,e.g. I wish I could be a fly on the wall when they discuss my future.,在他们讨论我的前途的时候，我真希望能听到他们在说什么。,e.g. I'd give anything to be a fly on the wall when she tells him.,当她高告诉他事情时，我真希望偷听到他们在说什么。,e.g. Alice and Lily are menting on my performance. How I wish I could be a fly on the wall to hear what they are saying.,爱丽丝和莉莉正在评论我的表演,我多么希望能偷听到她们的谈话内容。
