Everyone tells a white lie on occasion, it’s just a question of why.? Some white lies save relationships, some ease a hectic situation, and others buy us time. We all do it, so there is no reason to deny it.? As long as we aren’t hurting others or breaking the law, these innocent lies can make life more pleasant. Most of these white lies only stretch an interpretation of what the truth actually is anyways. Here’s a list of the 10most common white lies and why we tell them:
我們每個人都會說些善意的謊言,這毫無疑問,問題在于為什么我們要這么做。有些善意的謊言可以挽救我們的關(guān)系,有些可以緩解忙碌的處境,還有些可以為我們贏得時間。我們每個人都在說善意的謊言,我們沒有理由去否定這個事實。只要不會傷害到其他人,不會觸犯法律,這些善意的謊言是會讓我們的生活更美好的。大多數(shù)善意的謊言都是我們對于真相的另一種延伸的闡釋。以下列出10最常見的善意的謊言以及說出這些謊言的原因:
1.It wasn’t me! – Because some things just aren’t worth taking credit for.
謊言1:不是我!說謊原因:有些事情不值得我們?nèi)パΑ?/div>
2.Yeah, I’ll start working on that ASAP! – Because telling you I have 10 things to do first would just irritate you.
謊言2:好的,我會盡快開工的!說謊原因:如果我告訴你在做你要求的這件事之前,我還有10件事要做的話,你肯定會抓狂的。
3.Oh, yeah. That makes sense. – Because option B involves admitting that I am clueless.
謊言3:是的,這挺有道理的。說謊原因:方案二會讓我顯得毫無頭緒。
4.Thank you so much! I just love it! – Because telling someone that their gift sucked would make me look like an insensitive jerk.
謊言4:太感謝了!我很喜歡!說謊原因:告訴別人他們送的禮物一團糟會讓我看起來像是冷血的混蛋。
, you look great in that dress. – Because it’s better than being slapped.
謊言5:你穿這條裙子真好看。說謊原因:總比說真話被別人扇耳光要好吧。
6.I’m 29. – Because 29 is like 20 years younger than 30.
謊言6:我29歲。說謊原因:29歲聽起來比30歲要年輕多了。
7.Yes, John was with me last night. – Because that’s what friends do… we agree and ask questions later.
謊言7:沒錯,約翰昨晚是和我在一起。說謊原因:這就是朋友該做的事。等下我們兩個還要通通氣,以免穿幫。
8.My resume is 5 pages long for a good reason. – Because I’m darn good at bullshittin’!
謊言8:我寫了5頁的簡歷,那是因為我足夠好。說謊原因:我就是個不折不扣的話嘮!
9.Yeah, I was a badass on my high school football team! – Because I want to be seen by others in an even stronger light than I see myself.
謊言9:對,我在高中足球隊里就是個搗蛋鬼!說謊原因:我想讓自己在別人的眼里更加閃亮。
10.I thought I already sent that email out. I’m sure I did. – Because telling you that it was a low priority and I forgot would probably hurt our relationship.
謊言10:我以為我早就把郵件發(fā)出去了。我真的發(fā)過了。說謊原因:如果告訴你我覺得這事不重要,我把這事忘了,就會傷害到我倆的關(guān)系了。
