2021年10月自考00015英语二临考密押题4

It is curious how much one despises and condemns the vices which one　does not happen to possess. I am indeed not a severe man, nor would　I permit myself to become intolerant of those failings which I share　with others. But, having no particular temptation to be untruthful,　I find myself believing that when one comes to think of it, truth is　the major virtue and lying the most blameworthy of all the vices.I　should like, therefore, to get my mind a little clearer on the truth　question. I flatter myself, as I have said, that I am a truthful　man: a man who, when he tells a lie, is careful not to forget that　he has done so, and who takes infinite precautions to prevent his　being found out. This, in the end, is the only test by which you can　distinguish the liar from the man of truth. The latter which is　bothered by untruthfulness, is worried and anxious. The real liar,　however, is merely amused: he doesn’t mind in the least even if he　is subsequently exposed: he regards the truthful man as somewhat of　a fool.

But this surely is one of the many false statements with which the　real liar will try hard to idealize his failing. It may be inevitabe　and even just to tell lies, but it cannot seriously be argued that　such habits are intelligent. A lie is always an act of mental　cowardice, whereas intelligence is brave. And yet there was　Bismarck, and yet there was Napoleon-surely intelligent man, and　surely liars. The problem, therefore, is not so simple as it seems.　It was simple enough, in those old days, to define with approximate　accuracy when a given statement ceased to be the truth and became a　lie. The essential test was whether the maker of a false statement　knew that he was saying something false, and consciously wished his　audience to accept, and to remain under, this false impression. Life　in civilized communities is a process of adjusting the personal to　the social, of conforming the individual impression to the joint　impressions of the common people. This process of adjustment leads　inevitably and rightly to a certain unconscious deception. Absolute　truth, whether unconscious or even conscious, is thus impossible. It　is to relative truth only that we can hope to aspire.
