一、比較常見的表達(dá): 1. Don't hum and haw. Give it to me straight.別支支吾吾的,有話直說吧。 2. Don't beat around the bush.別拐彎抹角了。 3. Don't keep me in suspense.別和我賣關(guān)子。 4. Don't try to find excuses, be frank with me.別找借口了,跟我老實(shí)說吧。
二、如果是情人間需要直接溝通的話,你可以這么說: It's time to talk turkey about the problems in our relationship.我們感情方面的問題是時(shí)候該說說清楚了。
三、當(dāng)我們在朋友面前評論他人的時(shí)候,我們可以用straight、no bones about這樣的詞和短語來表達(dá)毫不避諱。如下例句: 1. I told her straight from the shoulder this man she wants to marry is no good.我直接了當(dāng)?shù)馗嬖V她,她要嫁的這個(gè)人一無是處。 2. She minces no words in stating her opinions.她表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)總是直言不諱。 3. She made no bones about telling him exactly what she thought of him. 她毫無顧忌地告訴了他自己對他的想法。
四、當(dāng)然,如果你是一個(gè)心直口快的人,為了避免對方因?yàn)槟愕臒o心之言而生氣,那就提前打個(gè)預(yù)防針。你可以說: I always speak my mind.我一向心直口快。
