Once I told an old friend how beautiful his gilrfriend looked when I saw them together at a movie threater the other day.Unfortunately,I made a mistake.It happend that she wasn't with my friend.She was with someone else.I had let the cat out of the bag (泄漏了秘密),so to speak.I'd never been so embarrassed in my life.I centainly learned my lesson,but at a very high price.His girlfriend never spoke to me again! And to make matter worse,It is rummored that they eventually borke up.
