有一个谚语叫elephant in the room.意思是说明明存在的东西大家却装作视而不见,避而不谈。这里address把...说出来,所有address the elephant in the room,意思是坦白一些避而不谈的事,就是可以直接翻译为“面对,直接面对,坦白面对”,就像Game of Thrones中的一句话,“You have to address the elephant in the room of her abandoning him. What did she know and when did she know it? ”翻译为“你必须面对她抛弃他的事实。她知道什么?她什么时候知道的?”,希望能帮到你!
