题目内容
It seems that everybody tells lies—well,not big lies,but“white lies”(善意的谎言) .Telling white lies isn’t really that bad. Most of the time,people do it because they want to protect (^ f/1) friendship or they don't want to hurt someone. Here are some ways they do it.
★ Giving false excuses
Sometimes people like telling lies because they don't want to do something. For example,someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring,so you say you’re busy.
★ Lying to make someone feel good
Often we don't tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example,your friend cooks dinner for you,but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No!You will probably (可能) say, “Mmm,this is delicious!”
★ Lying to hide bad news
Sometimes,we don't want to tell someone bad news. For example,you have just had a terrible day at work,but you don't want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day,you just say everything is fine.

1. It seems that everybody tells lies—well,not big lies,
but “white lies”.好像人人都撒谎 哦,不是弥天大谎,而是“善意的谎言”。
本句是“ It seems that +从句”的句型结构,意为“似 乎……,好像……”。
2. So if your parents ask you about your day,you just say everything is fme.所以如果你的父母问你那天过得怎么样, 你只会说一切都好。本句中含有if引导的条件状语从句,主句是you just say everything is fme;其中主句中还含有一个宾语从句 everything is fine,省略了引导词 that。
