1. 1直言不諱;心直口快

    If a person is outspoken, they say what they really think, in a clear and direct way, even when other people may not like hearing it. It is not the same as being rude, though an outspoken remark can feel sharp. News writers often use it as a good word: an outspoken teacher, an outspoken voice against a plan. Though actually a quiet person can be outspoken too — it is about honesty, not about volume, and not about speaking outdoors. Younger people might just say someone is very direct, or that they don’t hold back.
