Step Three: Post-reading
Ⅰ.难句解构
1.
尝试翻译 我们都知道诚实是一项重要品质,也知道说谎是不对的。但是谁又能诚实地说自己从来没有说过谎呢?
2.
尝试翻译 但是,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?
Ⅱ.佳句仿写
1.教材佳句 Written more than two hundred years ago, these lines by Walter Scott remain one of the most well-known excerpts of Scottish poetry:
Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive! (引语)
学后仿写 正如谚语所说:“闪光的不一定都是金子。”
“All that glitters is not gold,” as the proverb goes.
2.教材佳句 Would your friend trust your opinion again if he found out you had lied about his “wonderful” singing? How would you expect others to truly understand your emotions if you only shared good news instead of bad? Moreover, how would you feel if you discovered that the people closest to you had been hiding the truth from you? (排比)
学后仿写 别人看到失败的地方,他们看到可能性。别人看到不足的地方,他们看到充足。别人看到关闭的门,他们看到敞开的窗户。
Where others see failure, they see possibility. Where others see a lack, they see a surplus. Where others see a closed door, they see an open window.
Ⅲ.品质升华
1.Whether should we tell white lies? (Critical Thinking批判性思维)
It depends on what thing we will tell. If it brings some bad results, I think weʼd better tell the truth.
2.In your opinion, what is a white lie? (Divergent Thinking发散性思维)
A white lie refers to a lie that is told in order to be polite or to stop someone from being upset by the truth or to encourage someone.
3.Can you give an example of a white lie? (Divergent Thinking发散性思维)
For example, whenever my mother cooks meat, she often says that she doesnʼt like eating meat.In fact, the reason why she says so is to save the meat and allow her children to eat more.

Little White Lies
Written more than two hundred years ago,these lines by Walter Scott① remain one of the most well-known excerpts② of Scottish poetry③ [1]:
Oh,what a tangled④ web⑤ we weave⑥ [2],
When first we practise to deceive⑦!
[1]过去分词短语作状语,write与句子主语these lines是逻辑上的动宾关系。
[2]what引导感叹句,其结构为:What+a/an+形容词+名词+主语+谓语!
学生用书第12页
We all know that honesty is an important value and that lying is wrong,but who can honestly say that theyʼve never told a lie⑧? [3]Perhaps we comfort⑨ ourselves with the knowledge that most of the lies we tell are “white lies⑩”: little lies that we tell to protect others from⑪ the truth. [4]
[3]本句为but连接的并列句。在but前面的句子中,know 后面是that 引导的两个宾语从句,其中第二个that 不能省略;在but后面的句子中,say 后面是that 引导的宾语从句。
[4]本句是复合句。knowledge 后面是that 引导的同位语从句;we tell是省略了关系代词that或which的定语从句;little lies后是that 引导的定语从句;to protect others from the truth为动词不定式短语表示目的。
Weʼve all surely had the experience⑫ of someone cooking a meal for us that we donʼt like. [5]The majority of⑬us of course donʼt tell the truth⑭ — we lie and say that the food is “delicious”. [6]
[5]本句是复合句。that we donʼt like为that 引导的定语从句,修饰前面的先行词meal。
[6]and 连接前后并列的两个谓语动词lie和say,say 后面是that 引导的宾语从句。
Or if a friend asks us what we think of their new haircut,we say “Itʼs great!”,even if we think itʼs awful⑮.[7]But to what extent⑯ can we justify⑰ telling white lies like these?
[7]本句是复合句。ask us后面是what引导的宾语从句;even if 引导让步状语从句。
One of the main reasons for telling a white lie is to try to make others feel better.However,when we lie and say that someoneʼs haircut looks good,or when we say that we love a meal that we secretly hate,are we really hoping to improve the situation for someone else? [8] Perhaps we are in fact lying to protect ourselves from the disappointment⑱and anger of others.
[8]本句是复合句。or 连接两个when 引导的时间状语从句,主句是一般疑问句,使用了现在进行时。However后面必须要加逗号。
Another reason for telling a white lie is to give encouragement⑲.Say for example that your friend asks you what you think of his singing.You of course say that itʼs wonderful,despite ⑳ secretly thinking that your cat can sing better[9]. Stop for a moment and consider that perhaps your friend wants some frank㉑ comments㉒ from you so that they can improve. [10] Or perhaps,they need to know that they should look for a different hobby.
学生用书第13页
[9]本句中despite 为介词,其后引导表示让步意义的短语结构,意义相当于although your cat can sing better。
[10]本句是复合句。主句为祈使句;that引导宾语从句;so that 引导目的状语从句,从句中常用情态动词。
Finally,we may also tell a white lie when we want to protect others from bad news.If youʼve had a bad day,do you tell your parents about it,or do you hide your tears㉓ and lie that your day was “fine”? If the latter㉔,donʼt you think your parents would want to listen to you and understand your feelings? Wouldnʼt it be better to respect their concern for you and ask for their advice㉕?
Going back to Walter Scottʼs lines,we may find even white lies have results we cannot know in advance㉖.[11]Perhaps the meal you said was “delicious” will be served㉗ every time you visit. [12] Would your friend trust your opinion again if he found out you had lied about his “wonderful” singing? How would you expect others to truly understand your emotions㉘ if you only shared good news instead of bad? Moreover㉙,how would you feel if you discovered that the people closest to you had been hiding the truth from you?
[11]Going back to Walter Scottʼs lines为动词-ing形式短语作状语,go与句子的主语we是逻辑上的主谓关系。
[12]you said was “delicious”为省略了关系代词that或which的定语从句,修饰先行词meal;every time 引导时间状语从句,意为“每次……”。

善意的小小谎言
200多年前,沃尔特·司各特写下的这几行文字,如今依然是苏格兰诗歌中最广为传诵的诗句之一:
啊,谎言一旦开始,
我们须得织就一张错综复杂的网!
我们都知道诚实是一项重要品质,也知道说谎是不对的。但是谁又能诚实地说自己从来没有说过谎呢?或许我们可以安慰自己,我们说过的大部分谎言都是“善意的谎言”,即为了保护他人不被真相伤害而撒的小谎。
我们一定都有过这样的经历:别人为我们准备的菜肴不合我们的口味。大多数人会理所当然地把真实想法隐藏起来——我们会撒谎说这道菜“很好吃”。
或者有朋友问我们他的新发型怎么样,即使我们觉得剪得非常糟糕,也会说“棒极了!”但是这些善意的谎言到底有多正当呢?
学生用书第14页
说善意的谎言的主要原因之一是为了照顾别人的感受。但是,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?也许事实上,我们撒谎只是为了不让别人失望和生气,以免殃及自身。
说善意的谎言的另一个原因是给予鼓励。比如说,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,但还是说他的歌声很美妙。停下来想一想,也许你的朋友就是想听到你的真实评价,从而改进和提高。又或者,应该让他们知道自己需要换一个爱好了。
最后,想要向别人隐瞒坏消息的时候,我们可能也会说善意的谎言。假如你今天过得很糟糕,你是对你的父母说实话呢,还是偷偷擦掉眼泪骗他们说今天过得“不错”?如果你选择隐瞒,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?
回到沃尔特·司各特的诗句,我们会发现,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“很好吃的”菜肴会在你每次到访时都出现在餐桌上。你的朋友发现你对他的歌声“很美妙”的评价是个谎言后,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,你还能期望他人真正理解你的情绪吗?而且,当你发现身边最亲近的人在对你隐瞒真相时,你又会有怎样的感受呢?
