It seems that everybody tells lies—well,not big lies,but“white lies”(善意的謊言) .Telling white lies isn’t really that bad. Most of the time,people do it because they want to protect (^ f/1) friendship or they don't want to hurt someone. Here are some ways they do it.

              ★ Giving false excuses 

  Sometimes people like telling lies because they don't want to do something. For example,someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring,so you say you’re busy.

            ★ Lying to make someone feel good 

   Often we don't tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example,your friend cooks dinner for you,but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No!You will probably (可能) say, “Mmm,this is delicious!”

            ★ Lying to hide bad news 

   Sometimes,we don't want to tell someone bad news. For example,you have just had a terrible day at work,but you don't want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day,you just say everything is fine.

Some Ways People Tell White Lies

WAYS

EXAMPLES

Giving 1. excuses

When you want to refuse (拒絕) a boring party,you may say 2. .

Lying to make someone feel good

When your friend cooks dinner for you,you probably say that's delicious though 3. .

Lying to 4.

You have a terrible day but you don't want your family to worry about you.

You may say 5. if your parents ask you about your day.

導(dǎo)讀

本文是一篇議論文，圍繞“善意的謊言”展開(kāi)論述。作 者認(rèn)為不是所有的謊言都非常糟糕，他認(rèn)為有時(shí)人們說(shuō)謊是 為了保護(hù)友誼或者不想傷害他人。

詳析

1. false/wrong由文章中的描述可知，white lies的第一種 形式就是“給出虛假的借口”，其中“虛假的”可以用文章 中的false ,也可以用wrong。

2. you’re busy 在 Giving false excuses 部分中提到 “ You think it will be boring,so you say you’re busy”。如果你覺(jué) 得聚會(huì)無(wú)聊，你可以說(shuō)“你很忙”，由此可知答案為you’re busy

3. it tastes terrible 在 Lying to make someone feel good 部 分中提到“but it tastes terrible” 以及“You probably say ‘ Mmm,this is deicious! ’ ”，由此可知，盡管你朋友做的 飯很難吃，你也會(huì)說(shuō)“好吃極了”。

4. hide bad news 由第三種情形 Lying to hide bad news 可知答案。

5. everything is fine 在 Lying to hide bad news 的描述中提 到，你不想家人擔(dān)心，所以即便你那一天過(guò)得不開(kāi)心，也 會(huì)說(shuō)“ 一切都好”。

 friendship n.友誼 hurt v.傷害

excuses.借口 hide v.隱藏

障礙句分析

1. It seems that everybody tells lies—well,not big lies,

but “white lies”.好像人人都撒謊 哦,不是彌天大謊，而是“善意的謊言”。

本句是“ It seems that +從句”的句型結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“似 乎……，好像……”。

2. So if your parents ask you about your day,you just say everything is fme.所以如果你的父母問(wèn)你那天過(guò)得怎么樣， 你只會(huì)說(shuō)一切都好。本句中含有if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語(yǔ)從句，主句是you just say everything is fme;其中主句中還含有一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句 everything is fine,省略了引導(dǎo)詞 that。
