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.

【譯文賞析】 說謊
說謊通常被視為罪惡，因為一些人試圖通過不誠實的手段或對自身 缺點的掩蓋，從而獲利。
然而，我認為盡管有其消極影響，但有時在我們的日常生活中，說 謊是不可避免的。首先，說謊者能借謊言免去一些不必要的尷尬所帶來 的壓力。同時，聽眾也會因合理的借口而感到更加自在。例如，如果一 個小女孩的父親在一次意外中喪身，她的母親就會安慰她說：“爸爸去 了另一個美麗的世界。”在這樣的例子中，善意的謊言能化殘酷為美好。 其次，說謊的技巧從某種程度而言可被視為一種創造力和想象力。
因此，綜上所述，我們能夠得出結論：謊言是否有害，這取決于它 的意圖以及最終帶來的后果。
