第22课：诚实正直的 - 15

【迷你小对话】

A: What’s the plan to deal with this problem with the boss? Put all our cards on the table?
B: Yeah, give it to him straight from the shoulder.
A: That may be easier said than done; but when we tell him the truth, he’ll probably be glad we were willing to talk turkey with him.

A: 你打算怎么和老板说这个问题？直接摊牌吗？
B: 对，索性就跟他打开天窗说亮话。
A: 说起来容易，做起来难。不过如果我们告诉他实情，他也许会因为我们愿意对他实话实说而感到高兴呢。

【语言点精讲】

put all our cards on table: 摊牌；坦诚直接，没有任何隐瞒。
