come是“来”，clean是“干净的”，不过，如果有人对你说“come clean”可不是叫你“过来擦干净”那是什么意思？
come clean先来看come clean的英文解释：If you come clean about something, you tell the truth about it.表示和某人说实话，毫不掩饰。
所以，come clean的真正含义是：
全盘托出、坦白交待，也就是我们常说的“摊牌”。
【例句】It was time to come clean with my mother. 该是和我母亲说实话的时候了。It would be better if you come clean about it and let her know what kind of man she is seeing.你最好一五一十地告诉
她，让她知道她正在交往的那个男人是个什么货色。I think you have to come clean.我认为你必须讲明真相.
