Definition
摊开牌
Literally means:
spread out one's cards on the table
Actually means:
discuss the matter above board
It figuratively means having a showdown or letting others know the real situation. It indicates that one does not hide any fact from others. It is different from 摊牌.
比喻把事情摆出来，或把意见表露出来，让人家知道实在的情况。强调不藏着掖着，不遮遮掩掩。不同于“摊牌”。
