C Do you think telling lies, whether a little or a lot, isn?t that big of a deal? Well, that depends on the situation. If someone asks, “Does this dress make me look fat?” we might all lie somewhat. We might say, “Of course not. You look great.” Lying to spare someone?s feelings is one thing. Lying to destroy someone?s character or fame is another. “What?s really terrible is that you can?t undo a big lie,” says a minister we?ll call Man. “I promise if you go house to house to say, ?I feel terrible I wrongly accused my neighbor of stealing,? the lie will spread like a fire fueled by gasoline. You can?t call back a lie very easily.” Man goes on to say that lies have hurt people more than guns. “We have a grandfather in our church whose former soninlaw told people the man treated his own children cruelly,” Man says. “To this day, we don?t know whether it is true or not. I would tend to doubt it, but I can?t take a chance, especially if he is working with young people in our church.” Disarming someone who lies is tough. It?s like disarming someone who?s prepared to fire. That?s why our society is full of people who are forced to cover up the lies of other people. “I worked with a man who was stealing money from our employer,” says a man we?ll call Fred. “He was so good at lying and doctoring the books (做假賬 ) that it would have taken an FBI agent to stop him. I worried, ?If I turned him in, and he got out of the trouble, my career at our pany would e to an end.?” Fred says he came up with a plan to drop hints (暗示 ) to the pany owner. “I found printed materials on monitoring possibly dishonest employees. I started mailing them to the pany owner without leaving my name. Then one day, over lunch, I told my boss he should have the books checked carefully. He got the hint.” Fred told us that when the books were checked, the dishonest coworker tried to blame him for the errors. However, Fred told the pany owner he had been dropping hints for some time. The boss got the picture. Fred kept his job. The dishonest guy was fired. Figuring out how to make a liar public takes work. It can be done, but you might have to move at the pace of a turtle. The slower you move, the more control you will have. You have to give others time to take in the truth. 62. The underlined phrase “spare someone?s feelings” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by .
