老外最常用的英文短语 give it to somebody straight



释义：

give it to somebody straight 单刀直入地说

give it to somebody straight 表示“对某人单刀直入地说”。但如果没有 straight,单单是 give it to sb 的话就表示“给某人颜色看看”或“性行为”。但最常用的 give it to sb 则是前文中提到过的 give sth to sb，就是“给某人某样东西”的意思。

例句：

Give it to me straight.

老实交代。

Give it to someone else. I don't want it.

把它给别人吧，我不想要。

对话：

A: How can I break up with my boyfriend?

我怎样才能和男朋友分手呢？

B: Be honest with him. Give it to him straight.

老实交代吧。单刀直入地切入话题。
