每个学英语的人都知道白色谎言是什么意思,但既然这是一个谎言,它就是一个备受争议的话题。有个相关的例子就是如果有个身患不治之症的病人,医生和其他人应该告诉那个病人真相么?
Peoplewhoagainstthisinsistthatthepatientsshouldbeinformedthetrueinformationabouttheirillness,sothattheycanmakeproperdecisionaccordingtotheirhealth.Andthelawsentitlepeopletoknowthetruthwhichconcernsthemselves,sotellingthemalieinfactinvadestheirlegalright.
反对这个的人坚信病人应该知道真相,这样他们就能对他们的健康问题作出适当的.决定。还有法律规定人们有权知道关于他们的真实情况,所以如果告诉他们谎话,那么事实上就是在侵犯他们的合法权利。

与之相反的人们认为善意谎言是可接受的。他们担心如果病人知道了他们的真实情况,就会有毁掉他们的希望的风险,这会让情况更加糟糕,他们可能会拒绝接受治疗,或者自杀。因此,我们应当守住真相。

就我而言,说不说善意谎言取决于对什么样的病人。如果病人有强烈的意志要活下去,有积极地态度,告诉他们真相有助于帮助他们治疗。但如果病人是消极的,我们最好就不要那么做。总之,无论善意谎言可接受与否,我们都应当谨记应当人道地传达信息。

在我们的童年教育中,说谎是一个贬义词。如果你撒谎,那你就不是个好孩子。所以在我看来,撒谎是不好的。我们应该停止说谎。在我遇到这个之前,我毫不怀疑说谎还有别的意思。
Itwasanafternoonafterschool.Iwaswalkingonthepathhomeasusual.Iwasinahappymoodandhummedthemostpopularsongs.ButIstoppedwhenIwaswalking.Whatblockedmywaywasanoldgrandfather.Hesawmymuddyoldeyeswithsurprise.
那是放学后的一个下午。我像往常一样走在回家的路上。我心情愉快,哼着最流行的歌。但我走的时候停了下来。挡住我去路的是一位老爷爷。他惊奇地看到我那浑浊的老眼睛。
Ilookedatthethinoldman,standinginthesameplace,Iwasataloss.Mygrandfatherwaswearingashortwhitestripedshirt.BeforeIcouldspeak,hewouldspeakfirst.
我看着瘦弱的老人,站在同一个地方,我不知所措。我祖父穿着一件白色条纹的短衬衫。我还没来得及开口,他就先开口了。
"Doll,areyouback?"
“娃娃,你回来了吗?”
Iwasstunned.Wasthisgrandpacallingme?ButIdontknowhim.ImsureIveneverseenhim.
我惊呆了。这是爷爷给我打电话吗?但我不认识他。我肯定我从没见过他。
BeforeIknewit,grandpacameuptomeandheldmyhand.Hesaidexcitedly,"baby,Ididntexpectyouwerefoundbyme.Ithoughtyouwerelost."
我还没意识到,爷爷就走到我跟前,握住我的手。他兴奋地说:“宝贝,我没想到你被我发现了。我以为你迷路了。”
Iwasstupefiedtobepulledtothefrontbythemasterforseveralsteps.JustasIwasabouttotearhimoffandtakemyhand,Irantoanuncle.Heshoutedwithsurprise,"Dad,youarehere."
被师父拉到前面几步,我都惊呆了。就在我要把他撕下来牵着我的手的时候,我跑向一个叔叔。他惊讶地喊道:“爸爸,你来了。”
"Ifoundit.Ifoundyourbrother.Letsgoandtakehimhomenow."Theoldgrandfathersaid,andtearscamedown.
“我找到了。我找到你弟弟了。“我们现在就去把他带回家吧。”老爷爷说,眼泪掉了下来。
Iwasheldbyhimanddidnthavethehearttotearoffhishand.
我被他抱住了,不忍心扯下他的手。

后来,叔叔说了些什么,老爷爷放开了我的手。叔叔撒谎了。他说我是他失散多年的`哥哥,但现在我被领养了,暂时不能和他们一起回去。他说,如果老爷爷相信他,他会处理所有这些事情,然后他会带我去看他,然后他们一家现在就团聚了。
Grandpaseemedtobelieveitandletgoofmyhand.Hesaid,"baby,dontgo.Illwaitforyouathome.Illwaitforyoutocomebackfordinner."
爷爷似乎相信了,放开了我的手。他说,“宝贝,别走。我在家等你。我等你回来吃晚饭。”

我大致猜出了这件事的来龙去脉。看着爷爷那张期待已久的脸,我想如果我不回应他,他会很难过的。所以我点点头说:“如果娃娃不走,他晚上会和你一起吃的。”

爷爷被跟踪他的阿姨带走了。爷爷走了,叔叔说:“别担心。他记性不好,有点糊涂。他晚上会忘记的。”

谎言并不是人们所说的全部都是坏的!我认为:世界上有一种善意的谎言,甚至能编织美丽的故事!
Liesarenotallbad!Ithink:thereisakindofwhitelieintheworld,andevencanweavebeautifulstories!
如果你不相信,下面我就给你讲这么一个故事:
Ifyoudontbelieveit,letmetellyouastory:
在某人的小时候,家里并不富裕,他自出生以来身体的体质就很差,他的父亲在他还没有出世前就去世了,家里只剩下他和他的母亲两个相依为命。白天他的'妈妈去田里工作,到了晚上回到家里还要做一些刺绣活儿,每天晚上都做到三更半夜。在每次吃饭的时候他的妈妈总是把哪些好吃的、有营养的留给他吃,把那些不好吃的、没什么营养的留给自己吃。儿子长到8岁那年,觉得很疑惑,才问他的母亲:“妈妈,你怎么老是把那些好吃的留给我呢?难道你不喜欢吃吗?”母亲说:“对,我不喜欢吃,你要多吃点,你身体弱,应该多吃点来补充营养!”
Whensomeonewasachild,hisfamilywasnotrich.Hehadapoorphysiquesincehewasborn.Hisfatherdiedbeforehewasborn.Onlyheandhismotherwereleftinthefamily.Duringtheday,hismotherwenttoworkinthefield.Atnight,whenshecamebackhome,shehadtodosomeembroiderywork.Everynight,sheworkedinthemiddleofthenight.Everytimewheneating,hismotheralwaysleaveswhatisdeliciousandnutritiousforhimtoeat,andwhatisnotdeliciousandnutritiousforhimselftoeat.Whenmysonwaseightyearsold,hefeltpuzzledandaskedhismother,"Mom,whydoyoualwaysleavethosedeliciousthingstome?Dontyoulikeit?"Mothersaid,"yes,Idontlikeit.Youshouldeatmore.Youareweak.Youshouldeatmoretosupplementyournutrition!"
到了儿子读大学的那年,每个学期要交一万多元的学费,对于这一个家庭来说,这一个数字简直就是一个天文数字!但母亲为了供自己的孩子读书就更加努力地赚钱。也因为这样母亲因劳成疾,母亲以后再也不能做操劳的工作。儿子知道后,放弃了读大学的机会,在村里找了一份工作,月薪有200多块,这些钱勉强可以让他和他的母亲的生活得到满足。
Whenmysonwenttocollege,hehadtopaymorethan10000yuanforeachsemester.Forthisfamily,thisnumberisjustanastronomicalnumber!Butmothersworkhardertomakemoneyinorderfortheirchildrentoread.Becauseofthis,themotherbecameillbecauseofherwork,andshecouldnotdothehardworkanymore.Afterhissonknewit,hegaveuphischancetogotocollegeandfoundajobinthevillage.Hismonthlysalarywasmorethan200yuan,whichcouldbarelysatisfyhislifeandthatofhismother.
一次,儿子从河边钓了一条鱼回来给母亲熬汤,汤熬好了,儿子盛了一碗大的给母亲,给自己盛了一碗小的。儿子把碗放到桌子上,端起大的那一碗对母亲说:“妈,来喝汤吧!”母亲摇了摇头,指着小的那一碗说:“不,我最不喜欢喝鱼汤了!我喝小的那一碗就够了!大的那一碗,你喝吧!你身体弱,应该多吃点来补充营养!”
Once,thesonfishedafishfromtheriverandcamebacktocooksoupforhismother.Afterthesoupwascooked,thesonfilledabigbowlforhismotherandasmallbowlforhimself.Thesonputthebowlonthetableandpickedupthebigoneandsaidtohismother,"Mom,comeandhavesoup!"Mothershookherhead,pointedtothesmallbowlandsaid,"no,Idontlikefishsoup!Illhavethesmallbowl!Youcandrinkthebigbowl!Youareweak.Youshouldeatmoretosupplementyournutrition!"
过了没有多久,儿子不读大学的事情让村里的人知道了!村里的人说他简直就是一个傻瓜,竟然为了自己的母亲,而放弃自己的大好前途!真是个大傻瓜!而他却这样说:“不,我不是傻瓜,如果我是傻瓜的话,那你们就是大傻瓜。因为只有大傻瓜才会为了自己的名利、好处而不去照顾自己的亲人,现在连我这个傻瓜也懂得去照顾自己的亲人,那你们不就是连不如吗?”
Afterawhile,mysondidntgotouniversity,whichmadethevillagersknow!Peopleinthevillagesaythatheisafool.Heevengaveuphisgreatfutureforhismother!Whatafool!Buthesaid,"no,Iamnotafool.IfIamafool,youareafool.Becauseonlyabigfoolwillnottakecareofhisownfamilyforhisownfameandbenefits.NowevenI,afool,knowhowtotakecareofhisownfamily.Arentyouevenbetter?"
不久,母亲去世了,母亲去世之前还是说着那句话:“你身体弱,应该多吃点补充营养!”
Beforelong,mymotherdied.Beforeshedied,shesaid,"youareweak.Youshouldeatmorenutrition!"
看,这就是一个由善意的谎言编织的美丽故事,你喜欢吗?

世界上有许许多多美丽的、值得我们欣赏的东西。例如:美丽的心灵,美丽的风景、美丽的建筑……但今天,我要为大家讲述加一种美丽的东西,那就是谎言。
Therearesomanybeautifulthingsintheworldthatwecanenjoy.Forexample:beautifulmind,beautifulscenery,beautifularchitectureButtoday,Iwanttotellyouaboutaddingabeautifulthing,thatislies.
听到谎言这个词语,你大概会想到:这是一种欺骗的行为,是不良的行为,怎么可以说是美丽的呢?的确,在我们的生活中存在许许多多有关谎言的不良行为。但我今天讲述的是“另类”的谎言。

在那遥远的边疆,有两位战士,一个是经验丰富的老战士,另一个是刚来的年轻战士。开始的时候,年轻战士因为陌生,只是天天跟着老战士行走在沙漠中守卫,狂风凛冽,尘土飞扬,只有在晚上,才能在休息室里呆上一会儿。慢慢地年轻战士熟悉了。但又逐渐感到孤独寂寞,他已经二十多岁了,一年只能回家一次,有时一次也没有。这点点滴滴老战士都看在眼里,因为他也曾经感受过。一天,老战士兴高采烈的将一封信拿给年轻战士,说是离边疆不远的一个报社寄来的。年轻战士打开信看了看,里面写的.都是一些鼓励人的话,而且是个女的,他立刻向老战士询问:“她漂亮吗?年轻吗?”老战士想了想说:“很漂亮,也很年轻。”以后,年轻战士便常常与她通信,再不感到孤独寂寞。直到有一天,老战士去逝了,年轻战士变成了一位白发苍苍的老战士了,他想:这么多年了,我们还未曾谋面呢。于是他来到了这个报,询问她的下落,结果是一位白发苍苍的老头,他顿时感到失望至极。回到休息室后,他坐下来静静地想了想:老战士其实也是为了我好呀!如果不是他,我想我不会快乐地度过这一段时间,啊,我得感谢老战士才对呀!

人活在这个世界上,就必须有东西把他再次撑起,在这个“特殊”的时候,“谎言”往往就成了最有力、最持久的信念,所以我们要认识善良的谎言,他永远是最美丽的!!

很多朋友童年时期可能都有一个共同的经历-很多父母在小时候总是跟我们说“好小孩不能说谎,说谎的`人就不是好孩子”不过没有一个父母甚至可以说是没有一个人一生从来没说过谎,有一个人说过“每个人的一生都在谎言之中”这句话虽然夸张但也绝对不是无稽之谈,谎言对没个人来说都有不同的意义,谎言在小的时候意味着少不更事的表现,谎言到底意味着什么?可能没有人说的清楚把.有人说说谎意味着一个人的不诚实人品不好,不过如果对于一些善意的谎言我们是不是又能说他人品不好吗?有人说谎言会对人们造成伤害不过事情真的有那么绝对吗?

记得有一次,我们一家三口围在桌子旁边吃饭,晚饭有一盘可乐鸡翅,大家一起吃着,四只可乐鸡翅被我们三个人分了,还剩下一个,我望了望鸡翅,默不作声,继续埋头吃饭,饭吃到半晌,鸡翅依然静静的“躺”在那个盘子里,没有人动它。我又望了望那个鸡翅,咽了口口水,一个鸡翅,三个人,给谁吃呢?

我对妈妈说:“妈妈,你每天忙里忙外的,家务事都是你做的,这个鸡翅你吃。”
Isaidtomymother,"Mom,youdoallthehouseworkeveryday.Youeatthischickenwing."
妈妈笑着,摆摆手,说:“这鸡翅今天烧得不好吃,有点儿苦,你要吃的`话就你吃了吧。”
Mothersmiled,wavedherhand,andsaid,"thischickenwingisnotdelicioustoday,itsalittlebitter.Ifyouwanttoeatit,youcaneatit."
我又对爸爸说:“爸爸,你每天要忙厂里的事,也很辛苦,这个鸡翅你吃。”
Isaidtomyfather,"Dad,youhavetoworkhardeverydayinthefactory.Youeatthischickenwing."
爸爸说:“我也认为有点苦,就有劳你把它‘消灭’掉吧”。
Dadsaid,"Ithinkitsabitbitter,soIdlikeyouto"wipeitout".
我又问:“你们真的不要吃?”“恩”我飞快的伸出筷子,夹起鸡翅,觉得这不是一只一般的鸡翅,还觉得这只鸡翅有千斤重,我把鸡翅放到自己的碗里,爸爸妈妈慈爱的看着我,我缓缓张开嘴,咀嚼着鸡翅,觉得这只鸡翅并不苦,反而觉得格外好吃,啊,我突然明白了,原来是爸爸妈妈找借口故意要留给我吃。

父母的良苦用心我永远不会忘记,我长大后一定要用自己的实际行动来回报父母。
