People say life is full of lies. Some people tell lies to make themselves feel better, while some do this to cover their criminal acts. We have been educated to be an honest person and telling lies is not acceptable. When we experience different stages of life, we will find lies sometimes are acceptable.
人们说生活是充满了谎言。有些人撒谎是为了使自己感觉更好，然而有些人说谎是为了掩饰他们的犯罪行为。我们被教育要做一个诚实的人，撒谎是不可行的。当我们经历了不同的人生阶段后，会发现谎言有时是可以接受的。
On the one hand, whether a lie is considered to be forgiven lies in the purpose. People tell lies for making others feel better and won’t bring the negative effect, then we call it the white lie. For example, a little boy’s father died of car accident and people told the boy that his father has gone to a far place and would not come back in the short time, which could reduce the innocent boy’s pain and made him grow up happily.
一方面，谎言是否值得原谅在于其目的。为了使别人感觉更好，不会带来负面影响的谎言我们称之为善意的谎言。例如，一个小男孩的父亲死于车祸，人们告诉这个男孩，他的父亲去了一个很远的地方，短时间内不会回来，这就可以减少天真小男孩的痛苦，让他快乐地成长。
On the other hand, when people make the mistakes, they told lies for avoiding the responsibility, which is the bad behavior. We need to face our mistakes and make them right. The courage to face our problem makes us to be a mature person.
另一方面，当人们犯错误时，为避免责任而说谎是不对的行为。我们需要面对自己的错误，知错就改。有勇气去面对我们的问题，才能让我们成为一个成熟的人。
Telling lies is not acceptable in most situations, except white lies.
撒谎在大多数情形下是不可接受的，除了善意的谎言。
