问题: 英语翻译

We were really keen to find out with this survey how many secrets people are told. What we didn't bank on was how quickly these are passed on by those we confide in.

解答:

对于本次调查中得到的许多他人的秘密,我们总是热衷打听。我们不能左右的是我们曾经信赖并向其吐露秘密的人会如何快速地传递这些秘密。


原文的主语太别扭。
bank on somebody/something phrasal verb
to depend on something happening or someone doing something [= count on]
bank on (somebody) doing something
I was banking on being able to get some coffee on the train.
