Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth .Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
I agree that sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. In some cases the truth is going to hurt someone and no good will be gained by it. If so, then I don't think that person should be told the truth. There are times when a person needs to know the truth in order to make an important decision, There are also times when telling the truth is the only way to help someone who's being self-destructive. However, often telling the truth only benefits the teller, not the person being told.
我同意有时候最好不要说真话。在某些情况下，真相会伤害到一个人，而没有好处。如果是这样，那么我认为不应该告诉那个人真相。有时一个人需要知道真相才能做出重要的决定，有时说实话是帮助那些自我毁灭的人的唯一方法。然而，经常说真话只会让出纳员受益，而不是被告知的人。
If someone has said something nasty about a person, those words don't need to be repeated. However, what if a person has told a shameful secret to a friend, and that friend has told the secret to others? Then that person needs to know that she can't trust her friend, Otherwise ,she might tell that friend other secrets.
如果有人说了一个人的坏话，这些话就不需要重复了。然而，如果一个人把一个可耻的秘密告诉了一个朋友，而那个朋友却把这个秘密告诉了其他人呢？然后那个人需要知道她不能信任她的朋友，否则，她可能会告诉那个朋友其他的秘密。
What if someone is doing something self-destructive, like partying all night in college instead of studying? Then he needs to be told that this behavior is upsetting his friend who are worried about him. However, if he skips class and teacher asks his friend why he isn't there, it's not necessary for the friend to tell the truth. He doesn't have to be, but he also doesn't have to give information about his friend's behavior.
如果有人在做一些自我毁灭的事情，比如在大学里彻夜狂欢而不是学习，怎么办？然后他需要被告知，这种行为让他担心他的朋友很不安。然而，如果他逃课，老师问他的朋友他为什么不在那里，他就不必说真话。他不必是，但他也不必告诉他朋友的行为。
Sometimes people needs to know the truth before they can make an important decision. Suppose you're selling your house and you know there's water in the basement. Then you should tell the truth about that to anyone interesting in buying your house. If you don't, you could be in trouble legally as well as ethically! However, you don't need to tell the truth about the cranky neighbor who lives next door. The neighbor may not be as cranky with someone else as he was with you. Sometimes It's better not to tell.
有时人们需要知道真相才能做出重要的决定。假设你卖掉了房子，你知道地下室里有水。那你就应该对任何有兴趣买你房子的人说实话。如果你不这样做，你在法律上和道德上都可能有麻烦！然而，你不需要说出隔壁那个脾气暴躁的邻居的真相。邻居对别人可能不像对你那么暴躁。有时最好不要说出来
