'Come clean' có nghĩa là thú thật điều gì mà trước đây mình muốn giấu kín.
Ví dụ
Mom came out of the doctor’s office like everything was fine. Later, I overheard (tình cờ nghe thấy) her on the phone talking about going to the hospital. When she realized I’d been listening, she came clean (nói thật). She admitted (thú nhận) that she was going to need heart surgery (giải phẫu tim), and hadn’t wanted me to worry.
The interrogator (nhân viên thẩm vấn) had doubts (không tin) that the suspect would talk. But now that she understands she risks going to jail for many years, she’s coming clean. She’s confessing (thú nhận) everything: how she planned the burglary (vụ trộm) and got her friends to help her carry it out.
