  迷你对话

  B: Ben, she is showing her true colors. I know her quiet well.

  地道表达
  show one’s true colors
  1. 解词释义
  Show one’s true colors的意思是“终于看清某人的真面目”“某人露出真面目而显露本性”。True color的意思是“真正的你”。True是“真实的”的意思,color可以指“色彩,人的内在,人的心情”,先出真正的色彩,也就是显示其本性。Show one’s true color的意思即为:露出真面目,露出真实的品质或性格。还有一个意思是“宣布或表明立场或观点或计划或打算”。
  2. 拓展例句
  e.g. This experience will make me show my true colors.
  这种经历将使我暴露我的本性。
  e.g. He have a good disguise1, but as soon as he speaks he will show his true colors.
  他伪装得很好,可是一说话就原形毕露了。
  e.g. We always regard him as a friend, but he showed his colors in the current2 emergency.
  我们一贯把他看作朋友, 但在当前的紧急关头中, 他原形毕露了。
  Ps :in dirty words:用脏话 quarrel with sb.:和......吵架
