Jessica: What boyfriend? Where did you hear it?
YR: 大家都這么說(shuō)啊。就是啊怎么說(shuō)來(lái)著，street words say...
Jessica: Do you mean word on the street?

Jessica: Gosh! This is pure rumor! Yiru, you must tell me who told you this. I need to dispel this rumor!
YR: 我也是道聽途說(shuō)，這樣吧，你告訴我道聽途說(shuō)用美語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)，我就告訴你傳謠言的人是誰(shuí)!
Jessica: Deal! 道聽途說(shuō)Let me see...Okay, you can say I heard something through the grapevine. Grapevine is spelt g-r-a-p-e-v-i-n-e.
