地道表达：

fill somebody in on the details

解词释义：

detail作为名词，本义为“细节”，on the details是指“关于细节的情况”，即“详细情况”，fill in在此可以理解为“向......提供最新消息”，因此fill sb in on the details意思就是“向某人提供详细情况”。

支持范例：

Eg.As for the fight that France made in the next few years against a European coalition we cannot fill you on the details.
