父母对我们说过什么谎言呢?也欢迎词友们留下评论!




1、White Lies

  Parents are happy to lie to their kids if it helps them behave and fires their imaginations.Top of the list of whoppers is that Father Christmas really does exist and that he won't bring any presents unless you're good.

  父母对孩子善意的谎言

  如果谎言能规范孩子们的言行以及启发他们的想象力,那么父母们也会喜欢说一些这样的谎话。世界上第1大谎言要算圣诞老人真的存在;如果你表现好,这位白胡子老爷爷就会给你送来礼物了。





2、Coming second in the survey is the myth that when your milk teeth fall out, if you put them under your pillow, the tooth fairy will replace them with sixpences. Allowing for inflation that's probably a tenner a tooth now!

  第2大谎言,如果你的乳牙掉了,你只要把脱落的牙齿放在枕头下,再花上6便士,那么牙齿仙女就会将这些牙重新安回你的嘴里。夸张点说,现在的行情可是花10英镑看一颗牙啊!




3、At number three: 'eating crusts will make your hair curly.' Don't worry, a good pair of straighteners can sort that out later.

  第3大谎言,如果你吃面包皮儿,那么你的头上就能生出卷发。不用担心,现在一个好的头发拉直器能很快再让卷发变直。



4、At number four: 'carrots help you see in the dark.' There's a grain of truth in this. Carrots are high in Beta-carotene which the body converts to vitamin A, essential for healthy vision.

  第4大谎言,吃胡萝卜能帮助你在黑暗中看清东西。不过生活中吃胡萝卜确实对身体有好处,因为胡萝卜中富含β-胡萝卜素,它能在人体中转换成维生素A,对维持健康非常有益。




5、Number Five: 'if you pull a face and the wind changes direction you'll be stuck that way.' A useful fib to stop kids embarrassing their parents.

  第5大谎言,如果你做鬼脸,而风向发生了变化,那么你就会被风吹走。这个谎言能帮助父母教育孩子有文明的行为举止。
