關(guān)于謊言的雅思作文范文

　　Should people always tell the truth? Give your opinion and reasons to support it. 　　人們是否應(yīng)該一直講真話(huà)？試述你的觀(guān)點(diǎn)并給出理由。

　　Honesty has always been considered to be a worthy character trait in whatever culture. Indeed, it is often thought of as the most important human value. Generally speaking, it is therefore not a good idea to tell lies.However, there may be some circumstances when telling lies might be necessary and could even be justified.

　　Providing one makes sure the lie is for the benefits of others, not one' s own, it can perhaps be justified. For example, doctors may lie to benefit their patients when they wish to speed recovery or to conceal the approach of death. The requirement of honesty also seems dwarfed when there is a greater need to shelter aging parents from heart-attack in the case of the brutal news that their son has died accidentally. To put his wife at ease and to guarantee a promise of top secrecy, a husband may claim that a life-threatening assignment is just a business trip. All these are benevolent deceptions and are understandable.

　　When you make deceptions with good intention, there is one more thing you have to be sure about-that you do it well. Lying is a great art, and you need to be very careful about it, until practice and life experience give you the confidence, elegance and precision to do it gracefully and beneficially. If you don' t, you are almost certainly going to get caught. Once caught, you can never again be, in the eyes of the good and the pure, what you were before.Many a young person has ruined his reputation permanently through a single clumsy and ill-told lie, the result of carelessness born of incomplete training.

　　Integrity is desirable, but the opinion that we ought not to lie at all, of course, is putting it rather more strongly than necessary. I maintain that we can practice this art, if it is in others' interest, and if you know how to use it well.Other wise, you had better be honest rather than risking your integrity and credibility by playing tricks. The more important thing is not to think about teling lies, or slide into those mechanical and untruthful habits of thought.

　　在任何一種文化中，誠(chéng)實(shí)都是一種美德。實(shí)際上，它被認(rèn)為是重要的一種品質(zhì)?？偟恼f(shuō)來(lái)，說(shuō)謊并不好。說(shuō)謊只有在不得不說(shuō)的時(shí)候才說(shuō)，而且應(yīng)該有正當(dāng)?shù)睦碛伞?

　　如果一個(gè)人確認(rèn)謊言對(duì)別人有益而不是對(duì)自己有益，這就是正當(dāng)?shù)?。例如，醫(yī)生可能對(duì)自己的病人說(shuō)謊，這是為了病人好。因?yàn)獒t(yī)生希望能夠加速病人的恢復(fù)或者挽救病人的生命。當(dāng)患有心臟病的老人的兒子意外喪生時(shí)，為了病人的需要就不得不隱瞞殘酷的真相。為了使妻子放心，并維護(hù)高機(jī)密，丈夫不得不把執(zhí)行有生命危險(xiǎn)的任務(wù)說(shuō)成是一次商務(wù)外出。這些都是善意的謊言，而且可以理解。

　　如果是善意的謊言，你需要確信你能夠做得很好。說(shuō)謊是一門(mén)藝術(shù)，你需要非常小心。只有在你的實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)和生活閱歷都足夠的情況下你才能夠很好地，準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤地這樣做。如果不是，你會(huì)自食其果。如果謊言被揭穿，你在光天化日之下就不能再像以前那樣生活了。很多年輕人都是因?yàn)橐痪浜?jiǎn)單的并不高明的謊言徹底毀了自己的名聲，這是經(jīng)驗(yàn)不夠的結(jié)果。

　　正直是理想化的，但是認(rèn)為“不能說(shuō)謊”這種觀(guān)點(diǎn)是走極端了。如果對(duì)他人有利，而你也知道如何運(yùn)用好，那么我們可以采用善意的謊言。否則你還是保持正直，不要玩火。更重要的是不要思考謊言，也不要陷入那些機(jī)械的虛偽的思考習(xí)慣中。
