用法说明
"不瞒你说"用于句子的开头,用来向亲近或信任的人表达自己的诚意,表示下面要说的话是真的,而且往往是说话者不太愿意告诉别人的真相。类似的说法还有"说实话"。
"不瞒你说(Bù mán nǐ shuō)" is used at the beginning of a sentence to show the speaker's sincerity to tell the truth to the one he/she puts trust in. In this case, the thing the speaker is going to tell would always be a secret he/she keeps from others. Another expression suggests the same meaning is "说实话(Shuō shíhuà)".
