请大家翻译一句话 呵呵

请大家翻译一句话 呵呵
1.white lie 就是一种为了不伤害别人而有意说的善意的谎言,如某人得了不治之症,为了不让他感到绝望而瞒着他……
对了还请问大家有没有关于政治人物 tell white lie的例子啊?（此举不用翻译了）.
2.现代化和传统其实并不像作者所说的那么不相溶透,其实他们是有交集的：现代化文明很大程度上是基于对传统历史理解上建立起来的；况且,传统文明有时更需要借助现代文明的手段去挖掘和理解-----这就要求我们要用发展的和统一的眼光去看待这个看似矛盾的统一体.
to 无子;翻译那个阿拉伯数字与后面的一句话啊。 对了括号中的“举”应该改成“句”的。

A white lie would cause only relatively minor discord if it were uncovered,and typically offers some benefit to the hearer.White lies are often used to avoid offense,such as complimenting something one finds unattractive.In this case,the lie is told to avoid the harmful realistic implications of the truth.
For instance,try to hide the facts or draw a veil over terminal patients who are incurably ill for obviating their feelings of hopeless.
【特对于 “white lie”的诠释部分加了一两句,可以斟酌选用 】

现代化和传统其实并不像作者所说的那么不相溶透,其实他们是有交集的：现代化文明很大程度上是基于对传统历史理解上建立起来的；
It looks like modernization and tradition are not as mutually exclusive as the author explained,as a matter of fact,they have something in common.To a very large extend,modernized civilization had been built up base on the comprehension of traditional history.
况且,传统文明有时更需要借助现代文明的手段去挖掘和理解-----这就要求我们要用发展的和统一的眼光去看待这个看似矛盾的统一体.
Moreover,it happens frequently that traditional civilization need to get the help from modernized civilization for exploration and comprehension.And that demand us to perceive the entia,though conflictive,is harmonized from greater unity.
