| 释义 | to say that you are wrongThese words all refer to saying that you are wrong or have done something wrong. If a person admits to having done something bad or illegal, they confess or confess to it. Rawlinson finally confessed to the robbery. I asked if she had stolen the money, and she confessed. In less serious situations, when a person admits to having done something, the verbs own up and fess up, and the idiom come clean can also be used. Come on, own up - who's eaten the last sandwich? Fess up - you wanted to go to the cinema instead, didn't you? I decided to come clean about the broken vase. Concede or admit are used if the person unwillingly says that something is true. She did eventually concede that the instructions were not very clear. He admitted that he had been wrong. If a person admits, usually unwillingly, that something is true, the verbs accept and acknowledge may also be used. I accept that things should have been done differently. He refuses to acknowledge the problem. |
