实用英语：Spit it out 尽管说吧
最受不了别人说话吞吞吐吐，要是有急事还不得急死人哪!那要告诉别人“别吞吞吐吐了，尽管说吧”用英语要怎么说呢?其实用 spit it out就可以搞定啦!
Spit it out是俚语，意思是‘快说吧’或‘大胆说吧’，例如：Spit it out, man. I've to know the
truth(快说吧，老兄，我得了解真相).
叫人把话说出来，英文还有两个常用语：out with it和give，例如：(1) Out with it. I haven't got all
day(说吧，我没有很多时间)。(2) Come on, give. You're taxing my patience(快说吧，你令我不耐烦了)。
Out with it、give、spit it
out等，常用于祈使句(imperative)，句子不用主语(subject)。一般和主语连用的，有speak one's
mind，即“坦白把所想的说出来”，例如：Now that you have come to me, I may as well speak my
mind(现在你既然来找我，我不妨直言).
除了上面提到的这些，我们要叫人“直说吧”还可以说：Get it out of your mouth. (把你的话从口里说出来) / Just say
it. (尽管说吧) / Tell me now. (现在跟我说吧) 。
和 “直言”相反的，是to hem(或hum)and haw，即“吞吞吐吐，欲言又止”。那hem、haw都是象声词，例如：When I asked
him what had happened, he just hemmed and hawed(我问他发生了什么事，他只是支吾以对).
