Lies
谎言
I wonder if there is anyone in the world who never lies. Not even a small white lie. It seems everyone lies at some point in their life, or their day. Some people are better liars than others. In fact, I often read lying is an art. Children are pretty good at lying. Or perhaps they're pretty bad, because it's easy to tell when a child is lying. I read that the more lies children tell, the more intelligent they are. You need to be creative and imaginative to lie. There comes a stage in our lives when most of us stop lying. We are all told that it's always better to tell the truth. Not all of us do this though. There are many very intelligent people who lie. We even trust them to run our country. I've lost count of the number of politicians who have been caught lying.
我想知道世界上是否有人从不说谎,甚至连一个小小的善意的谎言都没有说过。似乎每个人都会在生命或生活中的某个时刻撒谎。有些人比其他人更会撒谎。事实上,我经常读到说谎是一门艺术。孩子们很擅长撒谎。或者他们可能说谎的功夫很糟,因为很容易看出孩子是否在撒谎。我读到过,孩子们撒的谎越多,他们就越聪明。撒谎需要有创造力和想象力。当我们大多数人停止说谎时,我们的生活就会进入一个阶段。我们都被告知说真话总是好的,但并不是所有人都这样诚实。有很多非常聪明的人会说谎。我们甚至相信他们能管理我们的国家。我已经记不清有多少政客被指谎话连天了。
