“I don't know much but bits and pieces. I hear things.”
我知道的不多,都是零零碎碎的。我听来的。
先卸下分量,再补一句我听来的,含糊和坦白都在,像真在说话。
I don't know much, but ...
只掌握零散消息、不想把话说满时用;正式报告里不要这么说。
I only know bits and pieces. / I just pick things up here and there.
口语
but 后略停,bits and pieces 连成一串,句尾放轻。
I don't know much, but I heard a thing or two about the deal. 我知道的不多,不过这笔交易我听到过一点风声。
