【适用场合】
今天节目中，我们要来学习一下keep sb. in the dark (about sth.)的用法；
这个短语可以指：“让某个人对某件事情不知情；使某个人蒙在鼓里”；
to keep someone uninformed (about something)或者
to exclude someone from full knowledge or disclosure (of something)；
口语运用中，也经常会把动词keep换成leave，意义近似；

eg: I don't fully trust John to keep our plan a secret, so I think it best that we keep him in the dark for now.
我不太能相信约翰会对我们的计划保密，所以我觉得目前我们最好还是对他保密。

eg: In many cases, the company itself was being kept in the dark about what was going on.
在很多情况下，公司自己也不知道到底发生什么事情了。

eg: She thought you shouldn't be left in the dark but should be told as soon as possible.
她觉得你不应该被蒙在鼓里，而是应该尽快得知事情的真相。

eg: You've kept us totally in the dark about what had happened that night.

eg: They kept me in the dark about their plans.
