come straight to the question 开门见山

和别人讨论时，你习惯委婉的表达方式，还是“开门见山”，真奔主题？

 

“开门见山”，汉语成语，字面意思是“打开门就能看见山（The door opens on a view of mountains）”。比喻说话或写文章直截了当谈本题，不拐弯抹角，与英文短语“come straight to the question”意思相近，表示“to reach the most important or crucial¹ part of something at once”。

 

例句：

 

他开门见山就提到了钱，使我不禁愣了一下。

He came straight to the question of money; which was a shock to me.

 

别拐弯抹角，开门见山地谈吧！

Don't beat around the bush, come straight to the point!
