实用口语:如何说"做真实的自己"

是敞开心扉，展示真实的自己，还是每天带着面具过疲惫人生。It's up to you!
希望自己做回真实的自己！Just be yourself!

For better or for worse, to be yourself not just a saying.
And to be yourself is all that you can do!

“做真实的自己”除了上面的 Just be yourself 外，在英文中还有另外一个表达是"let your hair down"。

这一说法源自19世纪，描绘出一幅可爱的画面。过去，西方女子很多都留长头发，出去应酬时把头发盘在头上梳出各种式样来。晚上回家后，她们就把发卡一个个地从头发里拿出来，让头发很自然地披在肩上。

To let one's hair down 的实质意思也就是解除表面的装饰，使一切显得很自然、真实和放松。后来，"let your hair down"（把头发散开）就用来表示“放松、展现真实的自己”。

1. To let one's hair down 不一定用在女性上，男性同样可以用！例如：

The president has to make so many official appearances that he seldom gets a chance to let his hair down and enjoy life like ordinary people.
总统要出席许多公开场合，因此他很少有机会像普通老百姓那样轻松地享受生活。

2. To let one's hair down 也可以用在朋友之间，就像下面这个例子一样：

Sally, we've been good friends for a long time. But lately I get the idea you are very much upset with me. I wish you'd let your hair down and tell me what's wrong to make you feel this way.
萨莉，我们多年来一直是好朋友，可是最近我感到你对我非常不高兴。我希望你能够坦率地告诉我，到底是哪些事让你这么不高兴。
