By the age of 3 or 4, we all start to lie. At this point in our brain's development, we learn that we have an incredibly versatile and powerful tool at our disposal -- our language -- and we can use it to actually play with reality and affect the outcome of what's happening. 人到了三四岁就开始说谎。在大脑发育的这个节点，人们认识到自己有一种多功能的强大工具可用，那就是语言。人们实际上可以用它来颠倒是非并影响事情的结局。 Lying is "bad", but we all have to lie sometimes. But some people are pathological liars, meaning they can't stop spreading misinformation about themselves and others. 说谎“不好”，但谁都不得不偶尔说谎。但有些人是病态撒谎精，忍不住要传播关于自己和别人的错误信息。 |
