spilled
此處 has 加過去分詞構成現在完成式，故選 spilled。spilling 須搭配適當的 be 形式；spills 是第三人稱單數現在式；spill 是原形，均不能構成這個完成式。
同義改寫
The assistant accidentally spilled coffee on the printed agenda. → The assistant unintentionally spilled coffee on the printed agenda.
accidentally 與 unintentionally 在此都表示並非故意；灑出咖啡的動作與位置不變。
During lunch, a colleague accidentally spilled the beans about the surprise farewell party. → During lunch, a colleague accidentally revealed the secret about the surprise farewell party.
spilled the beans 在此指洩露秘密，換成 revealed the secret 保留原意，也保留不小心透露的語氣。
