輕鬆日記商務職場篇 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 直譯過來就是：“變乾淨”，所以這個短語的正確意思是：“全盤招供，坦白交待，和盤托出”。因此，當美國人說"You'd better come clean."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"You'd better tell the truth."、"You'd better not tell lies."、"You'd better be frank."。
情景對白：
Colleague: The personnel manager doubts about my forged degree. What should I do?
同事：人事經理懷疑我的假學歷，怎麼辦？
Benjamin: You'd better come clean. Maybe he will keep you in view of your good performance.
本傑明：你最好坦白交待，或許他考慮到你的表現很好而留下你。

③I broke our manager's favorite potting. Should I tell him?

involuntarily adv. 身不由己地
