当你生活在一个被谎言包围的世界中于是你定会非常善于此;一个有着完美构建的谎言往往要比真话有用的多。
When you live a life of deception you get to be very good at it; a well-constructed lie is a lot more useful than the truth.
一个笨拙脆弱而有破绽的谎言是你们应该不断学会避免的东西;诸如此类的谎言比起一个普通事实来,决不具有更加真实的永恒性。
An awkward, feeble, leaky lie is a thing which you ought to make it your unceasing study to avoid; such a lie as that has no more real permanence than an average truth.
但从另一方面来说,如果一个医生为了避免家属的恐惧而隐瞒病人身体状况的事情,或是一个警察经常为了避免群众恐慌而隐瞒事实,那么这种谎言就是“高贵的谎言”。
On the other hand, a doctor not telling the truth about his patients' health to avoid affright among his family; or a policeman lying in order to avoid panic is a noble lie.
He has it exactly right. OK? Is this smaller than that? No. Now that's a slight lie.
不,这是一个小谎言,抱歉,是一个小错误,如果我要这么说。
And it's true; each group needed a justification for lying about the task.
这是真的;,每一组都需要一个理由来支持他们的谎言。
