He didn't know it until I put a bug in his ear.

我向他透露之後他才知道這件事。

----------------------------------------------------------------------
在put a bug in one's ear這個短語中，bug不是“蟲子”的意思，而是“想法，訊息”之類（idea, notion or information）。整個短語的意思就是，以微妙、慎重的方式向另一個人傳遞有用的資訊（To impart useful information to (another) in a subtle, discreet way）。
例句：
I know you want to transferred to the sales department. I'll put a bug in the boss' ear for you.
我知道你想調到銷售部去。我會往老闆耳朵裡吹吹風。
