圣经经文

“Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say.” “你不可咒诅君王，也不可心怀此念，在你卧室也不可咒诅富户，因为空中的鸟必传扬这声音；有翅膀的也必述说这事。” (传导书 10:20)

意思

来源及应用

这个说法来自所罗门王后期所著的传道书，提醒我们要谨慎言语，因为我们所说的话极有可能暗中被人收听，犹如藉著鸽子通风报信。 “A Little Bird Told Me”也是一首歌的名字。这首歌由Harvey O. Brooks所写且于1947年面世，在2008年被Head & Shoulders的一个英国商业广告采用。

例句
