每周一個話題，聽聽倫敦人怎么說。你的看法又是什么呢？

How important is honesty to you? 對你來說誠實很重要嗎？

Is it ever okay to be dishonest? 什么時候不誠實反倒好？

This is what some people in London told us.

Some people were sure that honesty 誠實 was important. Being honest with people builds trust 建立信任. One woman said lying always backfires 產生事與愿違的結果. Another said that people can rely on you 依賴你, when you're honest.

But when asked 'Is it ever okay to be dishonest?' several people felt it was a good thing to tell 'white lies' 善意的謊言 sometimes. White lies can stop people feeling hurt 傷害一個人的感情. As one woman says, you can be overly honest 過分誠實!
