In confidence與in secret的意思相同,意思是秘密地。通常是指不想與他人分享這些秘密。 例:He told me in confidence that he was going to quit his job soon. (他悄悄地告訴我,他就要辭職了。) 例:The doctor told her in confidence about her grandmother's condition. (醫生私下告訴她關於她奶奶的病況。) 例:Can I tell you something in confidence? = Can I tell you something privately? (我可以跟你私下聊一下嗎?)
