The suggestive answers are: 1 I wanted to get everything out in the open. 2 Everybody's got a secret. Just be glad yours is out in the open. 在為人處世中,幸災(zāi)樂(lè)禍可不好。What's more, pay attention to a sentence structure: “Something is out in the open”which is different from"Ge t something out in the open. " It emphasize a state which is that the secret's been known to others. But "Ge t something out in the open. " which is emphasize an action that is that a secret will be uncover and make it known to someone else . 在這里強(qiáng)調(diào)一點(diǎn)的是:Something is out in the open。是這個(gè)秘密已經(jīng)被別人知道了。而Ge t something out in the open.強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作,把著個(gè)秘密講出來(lái),這個(gè)秘密將被人知道。
【短語(yǔ)積累】

【詳解關(guān)鍵句子】
1 Let's get this out in the open. 【Real Speech】[let's,geeiz'audinei'?up?n] 【Translation】我們將之公布于眾吧。
2 I'm unhappy working here. 【Real Speech】[aim?n?h?bi'w?:gini?]
【Translation】我在這里工作不愉快。
【Grammar】working here 是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)做原因狀語(yǔ)。該句可以轉(zhuǎn)換為原因狀語(yǔ)從句:I'm unhappy because I am working here.
3 Is there anything I can do to get you stay. 【Real Speech】[ize??,eniθi?aik?'du:d?'getju:'sdeihi]?]
【Translation】我們?cè)鯓幼霾拍苁鼓懔粝聛?lái)呢?
【Key words】 "Get" means "persuade, make somebody or something to do something ". 意思是:使,讓(某人)做(某事),說(shuō)服某人做某事。For example : I couldn't get this car to start this morning. 今早我發(fā)動(dòng)不了我的車(chē)。He got his sister to help him with his homework.他說(shuō)服了他姐姐幫助他做家庭作業(yè)。Additionally, there's a phrase-get somebody or something doing something . Get 加上賓語(yǔ)加上現(xiàn)在分詞(短語(yǔ))。For example: Can you really get your old car going again? 你真的能是你的老爺車(chē)跑起來(lái)嗎?It's not hard to him talking-the problem is stopping him(=He is good at talking.). 讓他開(kāi)口不難,難的是讓他住口。
【Grammar】1 這是個(gè)含有定于從句的復(fù)合句。主句是Is there anything,從句是: I can do to get you stay。先行詞是不定代詞something,指代物,而且在從句中作賓語(yǔ),我們可以選擇的是表物的關(guān)系代詞“which” 和“that”, 由于先行詞是不定代詞,只能用which, 在從句中充當(dāng)作賓語(yǔ)成分可以省去。
2 從句 I can do to get you stay中,to get you to stay 是動(dòng)詞不定時(shí)做目的狀語(yǔ),而這個(gè)動(dòng)詞不定式中又有一個(gè)動(dòng)詞不定式:to stay做get后面的賓語(yǔ)you 的補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。
【對(duì)話的實(shí)際發(fā)音】
A : Let's get this out in the open. I am unhappy working here. B : Is there anything we can do to get you stay here.
