Express yourself!

Every week we ask you a different question. Hear what people in London say, then join the conversation!

快來(lái)加入我們的討論！

每周一個(gè)話(huà)題，聽(tīng)聽(tīng)倫敦人怎么說(shuō)。你的看法又是什么呢？

How important is honesty to you? 對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)誠(chéng)實(shí)很重要嗎？

Is it ever okay to be dishonest? 什么時(shí)候不誠(chéng)實(shí)反倒好？

This is what some people in London told us.

Some people were sure that honesty 誠(chéng)實(shí) was important. Being honest with people builds trust 建立信任. One woman said lying always backfires 產(chǎn)生事與愿違的結(jié)果. Another said that people can rely on you 依賴(lài)你, when you're honest.

But when asked 'Is it ever okay to be dishonest?' several people felt it was a good thing to tell 'white lies' 善意的謊言 sometimes. White lies can stop people feeling hurt 傷害一個(gè)人的感情. As one woman says, you can be overly honest 過(guò)分誠(chéng)實(shí)!
