Telling Lies
Telling lies is usually looked upon as an evil, because some people try to get benefit from dishonest means or try to conceal their faults.

Meanwhile, the listener may also feel more comfortable by reasonable excuses. For example, if a little girl’s father died in an accident, her mother would comfort her by saying “farther has gone to another beautiful land”. In such cases, a lie with original goodwill can make the cruel nice. Second^thejsk^lsjofJtellingJlies^jtojsome extent,canbe_regard_asja_capacity_ofcreationandjimagination.

【译文赏析】 说谎
说谎通常被视为罪恶，因为一些人试图通过不诚实的手段或对自身 缺点的掩盖，从而获利。
然而，我认为尽管有其消极影响，但有时在我们的日常生活中，说 谎是不可避免的。首先，说谎者能借谎言免去一些不必要的尴尬所带来 的压力。同时，听众也会因合理的借口而感到更加自在。例如，如果一 个小女孩的父亲在一次意外中丧身，她的母亲就会安慰她说：“爸爸去 了另一个美丽的世界。”在这样的例子中，善意的谎言能化残酷为美好。 其次，说谎的技巧从某种程度而言可被视为一种创造力和想象力。
因此，综上所述，我们能够得出结论：谎言是否有害，这取决于它 的意图以及最终带来的后果。
