是的,这是对的!具体来说, lay sth on the line有两个含义:冒险和诚实地说(即使这会使人生气)。在这句话中,它曾经是诚实的。您也可以按照您的要求使用speak frankly, speak honestly的词。示例: Let me lay it on the line to you, if your work doesn't improve, you'll be fired. (老实说,如果您的工作没有得到改善,您就会被裁掉。)例子: It's time to lay it on the line and tell her the truth about his past. (现在是时候诚实地告诉她这个男人过去的真相了。)例子: I'd be laying my life on the line by giving you that secret intelligence. (我现在冒着生命危险,并把间谍告知了您。)
