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.
人們說生活是充滿了謊言。有些人撒謊是爲了使自己感覺更好，然而有些人說謊是爲了掩飾他們的犯罪行爲。我們被教育要做一個誠實的人，撒謊是不可行的。當我們經歷了不同的人生階段後，會發現謊言有時是可以接受的。

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，謊言是否值得原諒在於其目的。爲了使別人感覺更好，不會帶來負面影響的謊言我們稱之爲善意的謊言。例如，一個小男孩的父親死於車禍，人們告訴這個男孩，他的父親去了一個很遠的地方，短時間內不會回來，這就可以減少天真小男孩的痛苦，讓他快樂地成長。

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，當人們犯錯誤時，爲避免責任而說謊是不對的行爲。我們需要面對自己的錯誤，知錯就改。有勇氣去面對我們的問題，才能讓我們成爲一個成熟的人。

Telling lies is not acceptable in most situations, except white lies.
撒謊在大多數情形下是不可接受的，除了善意的謊言。
