" which is emphasize an action that is that a secret will be uncover and make it known to someone else . 在这里强调一点的是：Something is out in the open。是这个秘密已经被别人知道了。而Ge t something out in the open.强调动作，把着个秘密讲出来，这个秘密将被人知道。

【详解关键句子】

1 Let's get this out in the open. 【Real Speech】[let's,geeiz'audinei'?up?n] 【Translation】我们将之公布于众吧。

2 I'm unhappy working here. 【Real Speech】[aim?n?h?bi'w?:gini?]

【Translation】我在这里工作不愉快。

【Grammar】working here 是现在分词短语做原因状语。该句可以转换为原因状语从句：I'm unhappy because I am working here.

3 Is there anything I can do to get you stay. 【Real Speech】[ize??,eniθi?aik?'du:d?'getju:'sdeihi]?]

【Translation】我们怎样做才能使你留下来呢？

【Key words】 "Get" means "persuade, make somebody or something to do something ". 意思是：使，让（某人）做（某事），说服某人做某事。For example : I couldn't get this car to start this morning. 今早我发动不了我的车。He got his sister to help him with his homework.他说服了他姐姐帮助他做家庭作业。Additionally, there's a phrase-get somebody or something doing something . Get 加上宾语加上现在分词（短语）。For example: Can you really get your old car going again? 你真的能是你的老爷车跑起来吗？It's not hard to him talking-the problem is stopping him（=He is good at talking.）. 让他开口不难，难的是让他住口。

【Grammar】1 这是个含有定于从句的复合句。主句是Is there anything，从句是： I can do to get you stay。先行词是不定代词something，指代物，而且在从句中作宾语，我们可以选择的是表物的关系代词“which” 和“that”, 由于先行词是不定代词，只能用which, 在从句中充当作宾语成分可以省去。

2 从句 I can do to get you stay中，to get you to stay 是动词不定时做目的状语，而这个动词不定式中又有一个动词不定式：to stay做get后面的宾语you 的补足语。
