中文翻譯
「小謊言」有時很容易脫口而出，以致我們並不認為是說謊。
這些謊話嚴重嗎？也許不會，但是如果你對陌生人會謊報年齡，
以後有什麼事能阻止你說出更嚴重的謊話呢？如果我們說謊或從事欺騙
的行為，然後得到我們想得到的，那也許會讓我們覺得今天很棒，
但是明天呢？我們說謊的未來後果是未知的。
然而，沒有人會說我們都能夠而且應該隨時保持完全的誠實。大部分人
都會說謊，而且常常有很好的理由。說謊隨時都在發生而且是日常社交
生活的一部份。很多時候人們說謊是為了保護別人的感受，而這沒有什麼
不對的。所以，你可以跟一位廚師說你喜歡那道晚餐，即使你幾乎
難以下嚥，或者告訴朋友你喜歡他送的禮物襯衫，雖然你知道你永遠
不會穿的。誠實通常是最好的策略，但是就像其他的策略，
有時必須有例外。
