 Britain’s most popular lie has been disclosed,with one in four people admitting using“sorry I had no signal”when returning a missed mobile phone call,a survey found.  Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost1500 every year.Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend,on average at least twice a day.The most popular lie was saying youhad no mobile phone signal,with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie.It usually came after they hit the“ignore”button when their mobile rang.  Three quarters of people think women are better liars.The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying,compared to 58 of men.  The second most common fib(无关紧要的谎言) is“I haven’t got any cash on me”when asked for money by tramps(流浪者),beggars and Big Issue sellers.“Nothing’s wrong-I’m fine”came third followed by“You look lovely”and“Nice to see you”.  Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with“I didn’t get your text”in 18th,“Our server was down”in 20th and“My battery died”in 26th place.  Other lies to make the top ten included“I’ll give you a ring”,“We’re just good friends”and“We’ll have to meet up soon”.“I’m on my way”and“No,your bum doesn’t look big in that”completed the top ten.  Men tell the most fibs,coming out withfive every day compared to women who lie just three times.  In many cases perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth,according to a spokesman for OnePoll,which carried out the research of 4,300adults.
近期一项调查揭露英国人最常说的假话——平均每4个人中有1个承认曾经用“对不起,手机刚才没有信号”来回复一个没有接的电话.
研究者发现平均每个英国人每天讲4条谎话,每年几乎有1500条谎话.约六分之一的男性承认他们最可能说谎的对象是他们的妻子或女友,平均一天两次.最普遍的谎话是“手机没有信号”,四分之一的人承认他们常常使用这个小小的“善意的谎言”.这通常发生在他们收到电话并按下“忽略”之后.
四分之三的人闲心女性是更好的谎言家.调查发现46%的女孩被发现过说谎,而男性的这一数字是58%.
排名第二的“善意谎言”是“我身上没带零钱”,当他们遇到流浪者、乞讨者以及卖《The Big Issue》杂志的人.“没事,我很好”排名第三,然后是“你真可爱”“很高兴遇到你”.
调查同时发现现代科技对这些谎话做出了“不可磨灭”的贡献,例如第十八名“我没有收到你的短信”,二十名“我们的服务器坏了”,第二十六名“我的电池没电了”.
其他前十位的谎话包括“我会给你打过去”“我们只是好朋友”“我们不久就会再见的”“我正在路上”“不会,(这件衣服)不会令你的屁股显得很大.”
男人们说最多的谎话,每天5次;而女人们每天只有三次.
在许多情况下用一个“善意的谎言”小小的奉承一下比用实话打击他人更有意义.(进行了4300份调查的OnePoll的发言人)
