I'm 17,and a member of our school basketball team.I'm crazy about
basketball,and pretty good at it too,which is probably why I was so mad
when we lost our last match.We played well,but I felt the team were let
down by one member,our point guard.The point guard is a key player,
but it was like he wasn't even on the court!Disappointed by his behaviour,I
said all this to my best friend.I was just letting off steam really,because I
was so angry,but then my friend went and told everyone else what I'd
said.

There is an old American saying,Loose lips sink ships.This means

that if you speak too much about something,especially to people who you
don't know so well,it'll cause all kinds of trouble.
美国有一句老话:“口风不紧船舰沉。”意思是说如果你对某件事谈论
得过多,尤其是跟你不太了解的人谈论,会招来各种各样的麻烦。
The situation here is so much worse because the "loose lips"were
your best friend's.Treated this way,you're sure to feel hurt-we should
always be able to trust those closest to us,and it hurts even more when
we find we can't.

对待,你一定觉得受到了伤害—我们应该一直能够信赖最亲近的人,当
我们发现他们不能信赖时,就更伤心了。
But I have to say that it's partly your fault,isn't it?You admit that
you were"letting off steam".It is understandable in that situation,but we
should always think before we speak.
不过我不得不说你也有一部分责任,不是吗?你承认了你“只是想发泄
一下怒气”。这在当时的情况下可以理解,但我们在说话前应该先想清楚。

现在你应该这么做。第一步,向你的队友道歉。如果你们以后篮球

Then,talk to your friend.Friendship should be one of the greatest
things in the world,but sometimes it can be difficult.Again,your strategy
is clear communication.Tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating
what you said and making the situation worse,but that you want to move
on.Approached in this way,your friendship will soon be repaired.
第二步,和你的朋友聊聊吧。友谊应该是世上最好的事物之一了,但
有时也会有些麻烦。同样,你的策略是进行清楚明确的沟通。告诉你的
朋友,他传话的行为让情况更糟糕了,你对此很生气,但你想让事情就此过

Little White Lies
善意的小小谎言
Written more than two hundred years ago,these lines by Walter
Scott remain one of the most well-known excerpts of Scottish poetry:
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:
Oh,what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
啊,谎言一旦开始,
我们须得织就一张错综复杂的网!
We all know that honesty is an important value and that lying is
wrong,but who can honestly say that they've never told a lie?Perhaps
we comfort ourselves with the knowledge that most of the lies we tell are

部分谎言都是“善意的谎言”,即为了保护他人免受真相伤害而撒的小谎。

We've all surely had the experience of someone cooking a meal for us
that we don't like.The majority of us of course don't tell the truth-we
lie and say that the food is“delicious”.
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一一我们会撒谎说这道
菜“很好吃”。
Or if a friend asks us what we think of their new haircut,we say"It's
great!",even if we think it's awful.But to what extent can we justify telling

white lies like these?
或者有朋友问我们他/她的新发型怎么样,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?
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 someone's 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?Perhaps we are in fact
lying to protect ourselves from the disappointment and anger of others.
说善意的谎言,主要原因之一是为了照顾别人的感受。但是,当我们

学习心得总结
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。
Another reason for telling a white lie is to give encouragement.Say
for example that your friend asks you what you think of his singing.You
of course say that it's wonderful,despite secretly thinking that your cat
can sing better.Stop for a moment and consider that perhaps your friend
wants some frank comments from you so that they can improve.Or
perhaps,they need to know that they should look for a different hobby.
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,应该让他知道自己需要换一个爱好了。
Finally,we may also tell a white lie when we want to protect others
from bad news.If you've had a bad day,do you tell your parents about it,

or do you hide your tears and lie that your day was“fine”?If the latter,

your feelings?Wouldn't it 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?
Going back to Walter Scott's lines,we may find even white lies have
results we cannot know in advance.Perhaps the meal you said was "delicious"
will be served every time you visit.Would your friend trust your opinion
again if he found out you had lied about his“wonderful”singing?How
·好词好句摘抄
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?
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?

The Well that Changed the World
改变世界的井
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy,Ryan had trouble believing the
words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries
couldn't get enough clean water.He looked across the classroom at the
drinking fountain.It was very close-only ten steps away.So,Ryan asked
himself,"Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to
get water every day?And why is the water so dirty that it makes them
sick?"Young Ryan thought,"Life is easy for me,but hard for those people.
Why don't I help??”
