Okay, now I don't want to alarm anybody in this room,

嗯，我不想驚動在這講廳內的任何人

程度副詞

還有，你左邊的那個是個騙子。

Also the person sitting in your very seats is a liar.

坐在你位子上的那個人也是個騙子。

is I'm going to show you what the research says about why we're all liars,

我要讓你們看看為何研究指出我們都是騙子的理由、

and why you might want to go the extra mile

and go from liespotting to truth seeking,

ever since I wrote this book, "Liespotting,"

no one wants to meet me in person anymore, no, no, no, no, no.

再也沒有人想和我會面，不、不、不、不、不。

他們說：「沒關係，我們會email 給你。」

I can't even get a coffee date at Starbucks.

我甚至得不到在星巴克喝咖啡的約會。

我丈夫會說：「親愛的，『欺騙』?

Maybe you could have focused on cooking. How about French cooking?"

也許你可以專研烹飪。法國烹飪如何?」

So before I get started, what I'm going to do

我不是要教『抓鬼(Gotcha)』遊戲。

識破謊言者不是那些雞蛋裡挑骨頭的孩子，

those kids in the back of the room that are shouting, "Gotcha! Gotcha!

在房子後面大喊：「抓到了! 抓到了!

Your eyebrow twitched. You flared your nostril.

I watch that TV show 'Lie To Me.' I know you're lying."

我有看電視節目〈對我撒謊〉(Lie to me)。我知道你在說謊。」

with scientific knowledge of how to spot deception.

and they do what mature leaders do everyday;

他們做謹慎的領導者每天在做的事；

they have difficult conversations with difficult people,

他們運用招術與棘手的人物交談，

『說謊是一種樂意共構的行動』。

Think about it, a lie has no power whatsoever by its mere utterance.

想一想，單僅是話語，一個謊言成不了氣候。

when someone else agrees to believe the lie.

我知道那也許聽來像『嚴苛的愛(tough love)』,

but look, if at some point you got lied to,

Truth number one about lying: Lying's a cooperative act.

有關說謊的一號真相：說謊是一種共構的行為。

Sometimes we're willing participants in deception

有時我們是騙局的自願參與者，

maybe to keep a secret that should be kept secret, secret.

可能對當保守的袐密守口如瓶。

「親愛的，你穿那件看起來不胖，不。」

或是網路高手的最愛，我們說：

"You know, I just fished that email out of my spam folder.

「你明白的，我才剛從垃圾郵件匣找出那封信。

But there are times when we are unwilling participants in deception.

但有時我們是非自願參與欺騙。

in corporate fraud alone in the United States.

That's an eyelash under a trillion dollars.

Think Enron, Madoff, the mortgage crisis.

想想安隆案( Enron)、馬道夫騙局(Madoff)、次級房貸危機。

Or in the case of double agents and traitors,

或者是雙重代理和背信的案例，

像是Robert Hanssen或者Aldrich Ames(兩者皆為間諜),

they can compromise our security, they can undermine democracy,

謊言會危及我們國防、謊言能削弱民主、

they can cause the deaths of those that defend us.

謊言會導致捍衛我們的一切瓦解。

he could have undermined the entire banking system of the Western world.

他本可破壞西方世界的整個銀行系統。

And you can't find this guy on Google; you can't find him anywhere.

你在Google搜尋不到這個人；你無從找起。

He was interviewed once, and he said the following.

"Look, everyone is willing to give you something.

「瞧，每個人願意給你某東西。

They're ready to give you something for whatever it is they're hungry for."

他們準備好給你某東西，換取他們渴求的，不論是什麼。」

If you don't want to be deceived, you have to know,

We wish we were better husbands, better wives,

我們希望我們是更佳的丈夫、更佳的妻子；

about who we wish we were, how we wish we could be,

關於我們希望我們是誰、我們希望我們能如何

And boy are we willing to fill in those gaps in our lives with lies.

嘿!我們樂意以謊言填滿我們生命的溝壑。

On a given day, studies show that you may be lied to

在某段時間，研究顯示，你可能被誆

在任何地點，次數起碼10次至200次。

Now granted, many of those are white lies.

當然，多數是無傷大雅的謊言。

it showed that strangers lied three times

within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other.

Now when we first hear this data, we recoil.

我們初次得知這個數據，大為震驚。
