你知道英國人每天要說多少次謊嗎？在英國留學中不可避免會接觸到很多英國人，了解英國的語言是不是在恭維也很重要哦。

研究發現，每個英國人平均每天要說謊四次，或者每年約說謊1500次。

該研究由英國市場調查公司OnePoll策劃，共調查了4300位英國成年人。其發言人對研究結果表示“我們民族太講究禮貌了，說謊是為了不想讓別人感到不適。”

“人們說的這些善意的小謊言是為了掩飾我們真正想說的話。大多數小謊言都是完全無害的，或者說這些小謊言是在特定情況下必須用的戰術手段。”

這位發言人還表示，“在人們最常說的50句謊言中，有很多是恭維話，這不是一件好事。但是，需要再次強調的是，與其說實話而傷害到別人，不如說些可以讓人高興的小謊話，這樣做似乎更合適。”
