ขอบอกเลยครับว่าผมไม่เก่งภาษาอังกฤษเลยครับ ข้อความนี้เป็นข้อความจากข้อสอบGAT 53 พอดีอาจารย์ที่โรงเรียนเขาให้การบ้านให้หาประโยคมาแล้วแปล จากนั้นให้ตั้งคำถามจากโจทย์ครับซึ่งผมก็ลอกคำถามจากข้อสอบนั้นเลยครับ แล้วก็เฉลยว่าตอบข้อไหน(คำตอบที่พิมพ์ไว้ ผมไปเอามาจากเว็บหนึ่งครับ) จากนั้นก็ให้เขียนเหตุผลว่าทำไมเลือกข้อนี้ครับ แต่ติดที่ว่าครูให้เขียนเป็นภาษาอังกฤษ
1 At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, psychology professor Bella DePaulo got 77 students and 70 townspeople to volunteer for an unusual project. All kept diaries for a week, recording the numbers and details of the lies they told.
2 One student and six Charlottesville residents professed to have told no falsehoods. The other 140 participants told 1,535.
3 The lies were most often not what most of us would call earth-shattering. Someone would pretend to be more positive or supportive of a spouse or friend than he or she really was, or feign agreement with a relative‘s opinion. According to DePaulo, women in their interactions with other women lied mostly to spare others’ feelings. Men lied to other men generally for self-promoting reasons.
4 Most strikingly, these tellers-of-a-thousand-lies reported that their deceptions caused them ‗a little preoccupation or regret.‘ Might that, too, be a lie? Perhaps. But there is evidence that this attitude towards casual use of prevarication is common.
5 Think how often we hear the expressions ―I‘ll call you‖ or ―The check is in the mail‖ or ―I‘m sorry, but he stepped out.‖ And then there are professions—lawyers, pundits, public relations consultants—whose members seem to specialize in shaping or spinning the truth to suit clients‘ needs.
