BUILD UP YOUR VOCABULARY
他動型（動詞+目的語）は動詞による働きかけが目的語（対象）に及ぶ
＝ 「説明対象に直接働きかけ」をする動詞
I can explain everything.
僕は全部説明できるよ。
「わたしに説明」 explain to me
So, is it Okay to say “explain me”
No. It would be completely meaning.
You can say “explain yourself”, which would be
“explain what you mean.” or, “Why you did something“.
That’s right. But you can’t say “explain me”.
explain の後ろに人を取ることはあるがそれは自分自身を説明する意味、人に説明する場合は to me.

ANSWER
1). Can you explain the secret of your success?
2). I need to discuss a serious matter with you.
※ discuss about とはならない
I need to talk about a serious matters. ※この言い方は回りくどい
So, what is the image of discuss?
Well, discuss is very much like, digest, like devour.
devour：むさぼり食う
It’s very direct, right?
Exactly.
So, attack, really stresses,
the directness of the relationship with the object.
And let’s say, if we say “talk about”, that would be a very kind of
round about.
You know, talking about, surrounding the topic.
But not directly attacking it.
