轻松日记商务职场篇 第186期:坦白交待

核心句型：

You'd better come clean.

你最好坦白交待。

come clean 直译过来就是：“变干净”，所以这个短语的正确意思是：“全盘招供，坦白交待，和盘托出”。因此，当美国人说"You'd better come clean."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"You'd better tell the truth."、"You'd better not tell lies."、"You'd better be frank."。

情景对白：

Colleague: The personnel manager doubts about my forged degree. What should I do?

同事：人事经理怀疑我的假学历，怎么办？

Benjamin: You'd better come clean. Maybe he will keep you in view of your good performance.

本杰明：你最好坦白交待，或许他考虑到你的表现很好而留下你。

involuntarily adv. 身不由己地
