The topic of trust is an important factor in all matters of the heart — and here's why. Men lie to women. Women lie to men. And most people agree that some lying is even necessary — to avoid petty squabbles and to grease the wheels of a relationship.
感情最重信任——但事實是,男女之間往往充滿謊言。不過,很多人也認為,謊言是避免無謂的爭論、緩和人際關系的必要手段。以下就是男人最常說的七個慌
1. "Me? I graduated top of my class."
“我讀書的時候,成績頂呱呱!”
This is a classic case of the runaway male ego, designed to present a man in the best light and impress a woman. When the lies continue into marriage, it's not long before the truth will out.
這句經典謊言恰恰詮釋了潛在的大男子主義,為男人在女人心中留下了完美形象。不過,一旦結婚,真相不久便會水落石出。
2. "Of course I like your friends!"
“我當然喜歡你的朋友!”
A man I know told his girlfriend, "You're a great cook — much better than my mother." In fact, his mother is a chef at a well-known New York restaurant. Fortunately for him, by the time his girlfriend discovered the truth — when they dined at his mother's restaurant — she was so in love that she forgave his overzealous compliment.
我的某個朋友跟他的女友說:“你的廚藝真了不得,連我媽都趕不上你。”其實,他老媽是紐約某家著名餐廳的大廚。幸運的是,當他們在那家餐廳吃飯一切真相大白的時候,女孩已經深深愛上了他,原諒了他的溢美之詞。
3. "Honey, you're the best."
“親愛的,你是最棒的。”
In the first rush of romance it makes sense for a man to engage in exaggerated praise of a woman's beauty and sexuality. But "you're the best" lies can paralyze a relationship.
在戀愛初期,男人有必要刻意夸贊女人的美貌和性感。但是,“你最棒”這樣的言辭有時候也會引起麻煩。
4. "No, I can't call you. I don't even know where I'll be."
“我都不知道會在哪兒,沒法給你打電話。”
These are the sad lies, the ones he tells because he's falling out of love. The more quickly a woman seeks the truth behind these lies, the sooner she can remedy the relationship — or, if necessary, end it.
男人如果跟你講這種喪氣的謊言,那就意味著他不再愛你了。女人趁早識破這種謊言,才有望彌補彼此的關系——要么,就干脆了斷吧。
