Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is , but leaves out important information that should be , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and it for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big !
He didn’t say anything that was , but he deliberately left out some important . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically , but they are just as not .
Untrustworthy candidates in campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and three million jobs. Then she another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the . An advertisement might boast (吹嘘), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of cheat happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
