Get to the bottom of: to discover the truth about a situation; To determine the cause or source of something or solve the mystery of something; to get an understanding of the causes of something; To discover the origin of a problem, or the fundamental truth of an issue or event. Find the basic underlying quality or cause of something. For example, He was determined to get to the bottom of the problem.


中文释义:get to the bottom of字面意思是到达某物的底部,引申义是追根究底;弄清真相。我们往往会从不同的人那里得到不同的信息。那我们就得做出一个判断,究竟谁说的是实话,谁在说假话,找出事情的真相。在这种情况下,我们往往会用 get to the bottom of something这个习惯用语。例句:Yes, sheriff, we will get to the bottom of this.(好的,洲长,我们会去弄清这个真相的。)
