5、it simply isn“t true, “I like your new hairdo“, “You“re looking much better“, “It“s so nice to see you“, “I had a wonderful time“? Will you decline invitations with “We“re busy that nightso sorry we can“t come“ when the truth is you“d rather stay home than dine with the so-and-sos? D There“s one man
6、 I know who absolutely refuses to tell social lies. “I can“t play that game,“ he says; “I“m simply not made that way.“ And his answer to the argument that saying nice things to someone doesn“t cost anything is, “Yes, it doesit destroys your credibility.“ Now, he won“t, unsolicited, offer his views o
7、n the painting you just bought, but you don“t ask his frank opinion unless you want frank, and his silence at those moments when the rest of us liars are muttering, “Isn“t it lovely?“ is, for the most part, eloquent enough. My friend does not indulge in what he calls “flattery, false praise and mell
8、ifluous (甜美的) comments.“ When others tell fibs (小谎) he will go along. He says that social lying is lying, that little white lies are still lies. And he feels that telling lies is morally wrong. What about you? Peace-Keeping Lies El Many people tell peace-keeping lies; lies designed to avoid irritati
9、on or argument; lies designed to shelter the liar from possible blame or pain; lies designed to keep trouble at bay without hurting anyone. I tell these lies at times, and yet I always feel they“re wrong. I understand why we tell them, but still they feel wrong. And whenever I lie so that someone wo
10、n“t disapprove of me or think less of me or holler (叫喊) at me, I feel I“m a bit of a coward, I feel I“m dodging responsibility, I feelguilty. What about you? F Do you, when you“re late for a date because you overslept, say that you“re late because you got caught in a traffic jam? Do you, when you di
11、dn“t remember that it was your father“s birthday, say that his present must be delayed in the mail?

Or do yo
12、u have the courageor is it the cruelty?to say, “I“ll be in New York, but sorryI don“t plan on seeing you?“ Protective Lies G Protective lies are lies folks telloften quite serious liesbecause they“re convinced that the truth would be too damaging. They lie because they feel there are certain human v
13、alues that supersede (取代) the wrong of having lied. They lie, not for personal gain, but because they believe it“s for the good of the person they“re lying to. They lie to those they love, to those who trust them most of all, on the grounds that breaking this trust is justified. H They may lie to th

They may lie to their closest friend because the truth about her talents or son or psyche would beor so they insistutterly devastating. I sometimes tell such lies, but I“m aware that it“s quite presum
15、ptuous (专横的) to claim I know what“s best for others to know. That“s called playing God. That“s called manipulation and control. And we never can be sure, once we start to juggle (耍弄) lies, just where they“ll land, exactly where they“ll roll. I And furthermore, we may find ourselves lying in order to
16、 back up the lies that are backing up the lie we initially told. Yet, having said all that, I still believe that there are times when protective lies must nonetheless be told. What about you? Trust-Keeping Lies J Another group of lies are trust-keeping lies, lies that involve triangulation, with A (
17、that“s you) telling lies to B on behalf of C (whose trust you“d promised to keep).

But I“ve talked with people who don“t want you telling them anything that they might be calle
18、d on to lie about. K “I don“t tell lies for myself,“ says Fran, “and I don“t want to have to tell them for other people.“ Which means, she agrees, that if her best friend is having an affair, she absolutely doesn“t want to know about it. “Are you saying,“ her best friend asks, “that if I went off wi
19、th a lover and I asked you to tell my husband I“d been with you, that you wouldn“t lie for me, that you“d betray me?“ Fran is very pained but very adamant (坚决的). “I wouldn“t want to betray you, sodon“t ask me.“ Fran“s best friend is shocked. What about you? L Do you believe you can have close friend
20、s if you“re not prepared to receive their deepest secrets? Do you believe you must always lie for your friends? And what if your friend were your bossif you were perhaps one of the President“s menwould you betray or lie for him over, say, Watergate? As you can see, these issues get terribly sticky.
21、M It“s my belief that once we“ve promised to keep a trust, we must tell lies to keep it. I also believe that we can“t tell Watergate lies. And if these two statements strike you as quite contradictory, you“re rightthey“re quite contradictory. But for now they“re the best I can do. What about you? N
22、Some say that truth will out and thus you might as well tell the truth. Some say you can“t regain the trust that lies lose. Some say that even though the truth may never be revealed, our lies pervert (使变坏,腐蚀) and damage our relationships. Some saywell, here is what some of them have to say. “I“m a c
