Honest andfrank refer towhat you say as much ashow you say it.* honest 和 frank 既形容说话方式，也指说话内容 ：◆ a(n) honest/frank admission of guilt 坦承有罪 They are generally positive words, although it is possible to be too frank in a way that other people might not like.Direct ,outspoken andblunt all describe sb's manner of saying what they think.Outspoken suggests that you are willing to shock people by saying what you believe to be right.Blunt anddirect often suggest that you think honesty is more important than being polite.Open is positive and describes sb's character.这两个词通常用作褒义词，但有时也可能指过于直率而使人不快。direct、outspoken 和 blunt 均指说话直截，其中 outspoken 表示宁可冒犯他人也要直抒己见；blunt 和 direct 常表示说话人认为诚实比礼貌重要；open 含褒义，用来形容人的性格 ：◆ I'm a very open person. 我这个人非常坦诚直率。

It is less likely to be used about a parent or teacher.* order 含义较 command 宽泛，可指任何有权威的人，如父母、老师或政府下命令。command 的语气稍强于 order，是指部队长官发布命令的常规用词，或者用于没有商量余地的命令。command 不大用于父母或老师下命令的情况。
