9、说食物“很美味”。the majority of 大多数.Or if a friend asks us what we think of their new haircut,we say“Its great!”,even if we think its awful.But to what extent can we justify telling white lies like these?或者有朋友问我们他的新发型怎么样，即使我们觉得很糟糕，我们也还是会说：“太棒了！”但是这些善意的谎言到底有多正当呢？to what extent 在多少程度上 to some extent 在一定程度上 t

11、haps we are in fact lying to protect ourselves from the disappointment and anger of others.说善意谎言的一个主要原因是为了照顾别人的感受。然而，当我们撒谎说某人的发型很好看，或者说不合我们口味的菜很好吃时，我们真的是在为别人着想吗？也许实际上，我们撒谎只是为了不让别人失望和生气，以免殃及自身。固定搭配 make sb do sth.使某人做某事“one of.is.”结构中of 后的词必须是可数名词复数，如果“one of.”短语作主语，则谓语动词用单数形式。Another reason for tell

13、that they can improve.Or perhaps,they need to know that they should look for a different hobby.说善意谎言的另一个原因是给予鼓励。比方说，你的朋友问你觉得他的歌唱得怎么样。尽管你私下里认为他唱得还不如猫叫好听，但你还说会说这很好听。停下来想一想，也许你的朋友就是想从你那儿得到一些坦诚的意见，从而改进和提高。又或者，应该让他知道自己应该找一个爱好了。to be frank=frankly speaking=to be honest=honestly speaking frankness n.Finall

15、 be better to respect their concern for you and ask for their advice?最后，想要向别人隐瞒坏消息的时，我们也可能会说善意的谎言。假如你今天诸事不顺，你是对你的父母说实话呢，还是会偷偷擦掉眼泪骗他们说你今天过得“很好”？如果是后者，难道你不觉得其实父母希望听你倾诉从而理解你的真实感受吗？尊重他们对你的关心，向他们寻求建议不是更好吗？Youd better=you had better Going back to Walter Scotts lines,we may find even white lies have result

17、ad of bad?Moreover,how would you feel if you discovered that the people closest to you had been hiding the truth from you?回到沃尔特司各特的诗句，我们可能会发现，即使是善意的谎言，也会带来无法预知的后果。也许被你评价为“美味的”饭菜会在你每次到访时都出现在餐桌上。如果你的朋友发现你对歌声“很美妙”的评价是个谎言后，他还会继续信任你的看法吗？如果你只分享好消息而隐瞒坏消息，你又怎么能指望别人真正理解你的情绪呢？而且，如果你发现身边最亲近的人对你隐瞒了真相，你又会作何感想？in
