Open the Kimono http://www.en8848.com.cn/kouyu/slang/more/152300.html 日本过去的武士会打开和服以示自己没有隐藏武器，而“打开和服”Open the Kimono这 一短语用在今天的商界里，则是比喻买卖双方向对方披露自己的内部运作信息。 　　Open the Kimono means revealing the inner workings of a project or company to a prospective new partner。 　　打开和服指的是向未来的新合夥人披露某一项目或本公司的内部运作情况。 　　It is said that the term probably can date back to feudal Japanese times. Warriors or adversaries would open their kimonos as a gesture of trust to show they had no hidden weapons. By this definition the term describes establishing trust in a business relationship。 　　据说这个词可以追溯到日本的封建时期。武士和他们的对手都会打开和服，以示自己 没有隐藏武器。现在这个词描述的是商业关系中信任的建立。 ==================================== Question： 欧洲人买下美国公司（不是和日本人做生意），也能用这个起源自西方人和日本人做生意 的词：　Open the Kimono？ 谢谢 --
