   核心句型:

  No bones about it.
  实话实说吧。
  No bones about it. 这个俚语至少可以追溯到1548年,一种猜测认为跟古代骰子游戏有关,形容玩者掷骰子的时候不会玩“对天祷告”或“和骰子说话”之类的小把戏,而是直截了当地拿起骰子一丢,这就是今天这个俚语意义的来源,即:“毫无疑问,实话实说,直截了当”。因此,当美国人说"no bones about it."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"To be honest."、"Frankly speaking."。
  情景对白:
  Benjamin: Why did you rule out that strong cooperative partner?
  本杰明:这家合作伙伴实力这么强,为什么您却把它给排除了呢?
  Boss: No bones about it. It is only under the guise1 of big companies.
  老板:实话实说吧,它只是打着大公司的幌子。
  搭配句积累:

  ②Your working attitude is appreciated by the boss.
  你的工作态度很受老板赏识。
  ③You should also take the responsibility for the mistake.
