The Brits really are fine with fibbing!
Brits really don't mind telling fibs, for not only does the average Brit man lie five times a day, but the women too lie at least thrice a day. "Nothing's wrong - I'm fine," is the most frequent, with 28 per cent of those interviewed saying it was their favourite untruth, according to a survey carried out for the drinks brand WKD. A spokesman of WKD said: "Fortunately most of the fibs we unearthed are only white lies. "But it's men who tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared with women who lie just three times." One in five males said he would lie to his girlfriend to go to the pub and almost a quarter of men have told a partner she looked good in an outfit, despite thinking the opposite. Next comes "Nice to see you", followed by "I haven't got any cash on me", "I'll give you a ring", "Sorry, I missed your call", "We'll have to meet up soon" and "I'm on my way". So women need not to get their hopes up when they hear their partners say “I'll give you a ring”. Other lies that made it to the list was "No, your bum doesn't look big in that", which came in at the eight spot, as well as "Of course I love you," which was 12th on the list, reports The Sun. The rest of the top 20 are: "I'm stuck in traffic", "What text?", "I had no signal", "Of course I love you", "Our server was down", "My alarm didn't go off," "The cheque is in the post", "My battery died", "The train was delayed", "I'll phone you back in a minute", "This tastes delicious" and "I'm going to the gym tonight". Four lies a day adds up to 1460 a year or 88,000 in the average 60-year adult life. Most lies are to work colleagues, followed by parents, then partners.(Agencies)
英国人谎话大排行 “我很好”居榜首
看来英国人真的不把说谎当回事——因为不仅男性平均每天说谎五次，女性每天也会说谎三次。 为WKD饮料公司开展的一项调查显示，英国人说的最多的谎话是“没啥事，我很好”，28%的受访者称这是他们最常说的谎话。 WKD饮料公司的一名发言人说：“庆幸的是，大多数谎言都没有恶意。” “但（调查发现，）男性更爱说谎——他们平均每天会说谎五次，而女性仅为三次。” 五分之一的男性坦称，他们会为了去酒吧而对女友撒谎，近四分之一的男性违心地称赞过女友穿某件衣服很漂亮。 位居“谎话榜”第二位的是“见到你很高兴”，其次是“我身上没钱了”、“我要送戒指给你”、“对不起，没接到你的电话”、“我们很快会再见面的”以及“我正在路上”。 所以，以后女性听到对方说“我要送戒指给你”时，千万别做什么指望。 据《太阳报》报道，名列谎话榜第八位的是“不，你穿那件衣服不显屁股大”，位居第十二位的是“我当然爱你啦”。 20个人们最常说的谎言还包括：“我被堵在路上了”、“什么短信？我没看到啊！”、“我手机没信号”、“我当然爱你啦”、“服务器坏了”、“闹钟没响”、“支票已寄出”、“电池没电了”、“车晚点了”、“我一会儿给你打回去”、“味道不错”、“我今晚要去健身”。 一个人如果每天说谎四次，一年就是1460次，如果按照60岁的平均寿命计算，一生就是88000次。 调查发现，人们最爱向同事撒谎、其次是父母和恋人。
