　Loss of Social Trust 社会信任的缺失

　　With the development of national economy, a worrying social problem also arises——people can trust each other less and less, especially strangers.

　　随着国民经济的发展,一个令人担忧的问题也同时产生了:人们对彼此的信任越来越少,尤其是对陌生人.

　　This phenomenon will bring many unfavorable consequences. First and foremost, people's life will lose a lot of fun since they become cautious all the time. What makes matters worse, the general expense of doing things rises abruptly as a result of the fact that people don't want to help strangers. FinaUy, if this matter is not properly settled, it will pose a threat to national education.

　　这一现象会带来许多不好的结果.首先,人们的生活会缺失掉许多乐趣,因为他们变得一直很谨慎.更糟糕的是,由于人们不想帮助陌生人,做事的总体成本突然地上升了.最后,如果这一问题得不到合理解决,会对国民教育造成危害.

　　It is high time that we called on the efforts from all sides to deal with this problem properly. For one thing, the government should make all efforts to create a harmonious social atmosphere. For another, teachers should seize every chance to stimulate affection and unselfishness in the hearts of the students. FinaUy, the mass media should also play a positive role in restoring mutual trust.

　　我们早就应该号召四面八方的努力,来正确地解决这一问题.一方面,政府应该通过各方努力来创造一种和谐的社会氛围.另一方面,老师们应抓住每个机会来激发学生心中的感情和慷慨.最后,大众媒体也应该在恢复相互间的信任上发挥积极的作用.

　　No matter whether this problem is a natural result of social development, it is important that we find a satisfactory solution to it in this social transformation era.

　　不管这一问题是否是社会发展的必然结果,在这个社会转型的时代,我们找到一个满意的解决方法很重要.

Telling Lies 说谎

　　Telling lies is usually looked upon as an evil, because some people try to get benefit from dishonest means or try to conceal their faults.

　　说谎通常被视为是一种罪恶,因为一些人试图通过不诚实的手段或对自身缺点的掩盖,从而获利.

　　However, I think despite its negative effects, sometimes it is essential to tell lies in our daily life. First, the liar may benefit from the lie by escaping from the pressure of unnecessary embarrassment. Meanwhile, the listener may also feel more comfortable by reasonable excuses. For example, if a little girls father died in an accident, her mother would comfort her by saying "farther has gone to another beautiful land". In such cases, a lie with original goodwill can make the cruel nice. Second, the skills of telling lies, to some extent, can be regard as a capacity of creation and imagination.

　　然而,我认为尽管有其消极影响,但有时在我们的日常生活中,说谎是不可避免的.首先,说谎者能借谎言免去一些不必要的尴尬所带来的压力.同时,听众也会因合理的借口而感到更加自在.例如,如果一个小女孩的父亲在一次意外中丧身,她的母亲就会安慰她说"爸爸去了另一个美丽的世界."在这样的例子中,善意的谎言能化残酷为美好.其次,说谎的技巧从某种程度而言可被视为一种创造力和想象力.

　　Therefore, taking all these factors into consideration, we can definitely come to the conclusion that whether telling a lie is harmful depends on its original intention and the ultimate result it brings.

　　因此,综上所述,我们能够得出结论:谎言是否有害,取决于它的意图以及最终带来的后果.
