tell the truth説實話
tell the difference
tell the difference的意思是“to recognize the differences between two or more things ”,即“辨別,區分”。當你比較兩個類似的東西,我們就可以使用這個短語,來體現自己識別兩個事物之間區別的能力。
例句:
Can you tell the difference between Putonghua and Beijing dialect?
你能區別普通話和北京話嗎
tell the truth
tell the truth的意思是“to give honest information”,即“説實話,説出真相”。這是一個習慣用語。注意,truth前用的是the。
例句:
Why didn't she tell the truth?
為什麼她不説出真相
tell a lie
tell a lie的意思是“to give false information ”,即“説謊”。這個短語和tell the truth相反,表示説的不是真話。
例句:
If I tell a lie to somebody, I will face his guiltily.
如果我向某人説謊了,我再面對他時會內疚。
tell sb to do sth.告訴某人做某事
tell sb not to do sth.告訴某人不要做
tell sb doing sth.告訴某人正要做
