My wife and I had a real no holds barred talk last night about all the things wrong with our marriage.
That TV debate between those two guys running for senator was sure a no holds barred affair. They spent more time saying nasty things about each other than they did talking about their plans.
The president has to make so many official appearances that he seldom gets a chance to let his hair down and enjoy life like ordinary people.
Sally, we've been good friends for a long time. But lately I get the idea that you are very much upset with me. I wish you'd let your hair down and tell me what's wrong to make you feel this way.在今天的美国习惯用语: 中，我们要给大家介绍两个表达坦率和诚实的习惯用语。对人坦率，无保留地说自己的看法，有的时候是以友好和轻松的态度出发的，但是在某种情况下也可能是语气强硬，情绪对立。我们今天要讲的两个习惯用语就反映了这两种不同的气氛。我们先来讲第一个：no holds barred。 No holds barred 这个说法是来自摔交运动。但是，在人们争论的时候， no holds barred 是指不顾对方的面子和情绪，毫不迟疑地把自己的想法说出来。比如说，一个美国朋友可能会对你说：
"My wife and I had a real no holds barred talk last night about all the things wrong with our marriage."
他说："我和我的妻子昨晚可真是毫不留情地谈了一谈，把我们婚姻方面的所有问题不管三七二十一都说了出来。"
No holds barred 也可以形容那些政客们之间进行的辩论。下面就是一个例子：
"That TV debate between those two guys running for senator was sure a no holds barred affair. They spent more time saying nasty things about each other than they did talking about their plans."
这句话的意思是："那两个竞选参议员的人在电视上进行辩论时真是毫不留情地说话。他们花在互相攻击方面的时间比介绍他们方针的时间还多。"
下面我们要介绍的一个习惯用语是：to let one's hair down。 To let one's hair down 描绘出一幅可爱的画面。过去，西方女子很多都留长头发，出去应酬时把头发盘在头上梳出各种式样来。晚上回家后，她们就把发卡一个个地从头发里拿出来，让头发很自然地披在肩上。 To let one's hair down 的实质意思也就是解除表面的装饰，使一切显得很自然、真实和放松。 To let one's hair down 不一定用于女子，也可以用在男性。下面的例子就可以说明问题：
"The president has to make so many official appearances that he seldom gets a chance to let his hair down and enjoy life like ordinary people."
这句话是说："总统要出席许多公开场合，因此他很少有机会像普通老百姓那样轻松地享受生活。"
To let one's hair down 也可以用在朋友之间，就像下面这个例子一样：
"Sally, we've been good friends for a long time. But lately I get the idea you are very much upset with me. I wish you'd let your hair down and tell me what's wrong to make you feel this way."
这个人对他的朋友说："萨莉，我们多年来一直是好朋友，可是最近我感到你对我非常不高兴。我希望你能够坦率地告诉我，到底是些什么事让你这么不高兴。"
今天我们讲了两个表示坦率的习惯用语，虽然它们都具有坦率的意思，可以在含义方面有所不同。我们讲的第一个俗语是：no holds barred，这是指在争论或其他场合毫不客气地对别人说自己的想法。今天我们讲的第二个俗语是：to let one's hair down。 To let one's hair down 是指轻松、自然，或把心理的话说出来。
