Outspoken suggests that you are willing to shock people by saying what you believe to be right. Blunt and direct often suggest that you think honesty is more important than being polite. Open and straightforward are both positive and both describe sb's character. 这三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、blunt和forthright都表示说话方式直率，其中forthright的褒义最强，表示不畏惧他人看法；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客套更重要；open和straightforward都有褒义，都用来形容人的性格◆He's a very open / straightforward person.他为人非常诚恳。
