But sometimes we want to say things that are very honest, or that others might not want to hear.
但有时候我们会想说一些非常诚实，或一些其他人不想听的话。
For example, I ask you: "Do I look tired today?"
比如说，我问你：“我今天看上去疲惫吗？”
Well, I could directly say: "Yes, you do look a bit tired."
嗯，我可以直接说：“对，你看上去确实有一点疲惫。”
Or you could start with this slang expression: 'not gonna lie'.
或者你可以用这个俚语表达开头：“实话实说”。
Not gonna lie Feifei, you do look a little tired.

Gonna' of course, is short for 'going to'.

Using this phrase indicates that you're choosing to be honest, rather than polite.
使用这个短语表明你选择做一个诚实的人，而非礼貌的人。
It's not only used for honest criticism;
这个短语不仅用于诚实的批评；
we might also use it before something we're very proud of, or something we boast about.
我们也会在我们引以为豪的事情前用它，或者我们引以为荣的事情前。
