这次我们给大家介绍的两个习惯用语是“真实”、“可靠”。 第一个习惯用语是: Open and aboveboard。 Open的意思是“公开”，aboveboard可以分成两个字来理解，above是在上面的意思，board是一块板，aboveboard就是在板上。所以，open and aboveboard就是一切都放在桌面上，大家都能看清楚。

　　I looked at a lot of places to invest my moneyin. But I decided to invest it in the Jones company. They have a reputation for being open and aboveboard, and I feel my money will be safe in their hands.

　　这个人说: 为了拿我的钱去进行投资，我察看了好多地方。但是，我决定投资到琼斯公司。他们的名声很好，大家都知道这个公司是光明正大的。我觉得把钱交给他们是安全的。

　　另一个习惯用语是：On the up and up。 Up是向上，在上面的意思。这个短语是形容坦荡、直率，什么都放在桌面上说。

　　I think I'll vote for senator Blank again. He's always been on the up and up with us voters .When he makes a promise, he does his best to live up to it and men like that are hard to find.

　　这个选民说：我想我还是会再投布兰克参议员一票的。他对我们这些选民总是很坦诚。凡是他做的保证，他总是尽力做到，像这样的人很难找。
