口語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí):坦白從寬,抗拒從嚴(yán)!趕快招來(lái)吧!錯(cuò)了也沒(méi)關(guān)系,還有機(jī)會(huì)改正喔~~坦白*,都有哪些說(shuō)法?
1. Eat crow
美語(yǔ)里是“吃烏鴉”,英語(yǔ)里用eat humble pie,兩種說(shuō)法都用來(lái)比喻“屈辱,丟臉”。兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)的意指犯下了令人難堪的錯(cuò)誤,可后來(lái)又不得不承認(rèn)。
例:They had to eat humble pie when the rumors they were spreading were proved false.
他們因散布謠言而不得不認(rèn)錯(cuò)道歉。
2. Come clean
*總是只有一個(gè),再怎么掩蓋也沒(méi)有用。最后還是要老老實(shí)實(shí)地說(shuō)出來(lái)。
例:He's finally come clean about his role in the scandal.
他終于坦白自己跟這起丑聞?dòng)嘘P(guān)。
3. Make a clean breast of
不管是過(guò)去撒的謊,還是曾經(jīng)保守的秘密,如今再也捂不住了,只能坦白交代,和盤(pán)托出。
例:I decided to make a clean breast of things and admit that I was to blame.
我決定坦白交代,這件事都是我不好。
4. Own up (to something/to doing something)
想要坦率地承認(rèn)自己做錯(cuò)了事,應(yīng)該對(duì)某件事情負(fù)責(zé),英文可以用上這個(gè)短語(yǔ)。
例:Why don't you just own up and hope she forgives you?
你為什么不坦白,或許她會(huì)原諒你?
5. I stand corrected
自己沒(méi)弄明白,發(fā)現(xiàn)搞錯(cuò)了怎么辦?英文有一種比較正式的說(shuō)法,可以幫你自行糾正。
例:I stand corrected. The meeting is on Monday, not Tuesday as I'd thought.
是我弄錯(cuò)了。應(yīng)該是周一開(kāi)會(huì),我之前以為是周二。
