let us be fair 公平地说，说句公道话

Let us be fair, the team is young and not yet settled. 说句公道话，这支队伍还年轻，还没有成型。

Let us be fair, some players do work hard. 公平地说，有些球员（的确）很努力。

这节课我们再学一个“公平地说，说句公道话”

in (all) fairness

fairness 公平，公正，合理性

（fair 公平的，公正的，合理的 + ness 表示名词的后缀）

请大家和我各读三遍

in fairness

in all fairness

还是球员的那个例句，前面我们用了 To be fair 或者 Let us be fair，也可以用 in (all) fairness

In (all) fairness, they are young and not yet settled.

再拓展一下，我们可以先说“他们打（做）得很差/糟糕”

they did poorly 

poorly 糟糕地，不好地 

—>

He did poorly. 他做得很差。

She did poorly. 她做得很差。

I did poorly. 我做得很差。

They did poorly, but in (all) fairness, they are young and not yet settled.

他们打得很差，但公平地说，他们还年轻，还没有成型。

请大家跟我读三遍

They did poorly, but in (all) fairness, they are young and not yet settled.

除了年轻，我们再换一个原因，比如说他们很累，很疲劳（they were tired）

They did poorly, but in (all) fairness, they were tired.

他们做得很差，但公平地说，他们也很累 

* 这里的 in (all) fairness 就等于 to be fair to them

说句公道话，公平地说

③ in (all) fairness

to tell (you) the truth （和你）说实话

To tell the truth, I'd rather just stay home. 说实话，我更愿意待在家里。

当我们说了一些否定的、批评的意见，再想补充一些好的，积极肯定的意见或观点，中文常说“公平点说，公平地说，说句公道话”，英文也有几个这样的说法，今天先学第一个：

to be fair

fair 公平的，公正的，合理的

to be fair 公平地说

to be honest 老实地说

请大家跟我读三遍

to be fair

当说 to be fair 的时候，前面的批评说话所留下的印象就没有那么强。可以消除一些前面的消极意见（的印象）。比如，某支球队这个赛季表现不怎么样，作为球迷的我先吐糟了球队，但这支球队这赛季刚刚大换血，都是由非常年轻的队员组成的，他们还很年轻，比赛经验不够，技术也没那么稳定。这些也是评价一支队伍很重要的因素。吐槽完之后，我就可以说，不过公平点说，这支队伍还年轻，还不稳定。

To be fair, the team is young.

说句公道话，这支队伍还很年轻。

team 队伍

young 年轻的，不成熟的，缺乏经验的

请大家跟我读

To be fair, the team is young.

句子升级一下，后面加上“还不稳定，没有成型”

To be fair, the team is young and not yet settled.

说句公道话，这支队伍还很年轻，还没有成型。

settled 稳定的，固定下来的，安定下来的

yet 副词，还

请大家跟我读

To be fair, the team is young and not yet settled.

请大家和我读三遍

上节课的两句话加上 brutally 

老实说，我从来没有真正喜欢过他。

To be brutally honest, I've never really liked him.

老实说，我认为她不适合这份工作。

To be brutally honest, I don't think she's right for the job.

除了 to be (brutally) honest，“（跟你）老实说”还可以说

if I'm honest with you

当我们勉为其难地要说一些真实看法时，if I'm honest with you 和 to be honest 非常非常常用。

比如在工作中，有这么一个计划，你觉得不怎么样，老板或者同事问到你：

So how do you feel about this plan?

那你觉得这个计划怎么样？

而你觉得这个计划不好——

Well, if I'm honest,

嗯，老实说，

I think it's a big mistake.

我认为这是个大错误。

a big mistake 大错误

mistake 错误，过失

Well, if I'm honest, I think it's a big mistake.
