【艾萊克---微英語】很多人都知道white lies是「善意謊言」，那麼與之相對的，「惡意謊言」就是black lies。那麼具體而言要如何區分「白色謊言」和「黑色謊言」呢？
In contrary to white lies, which refers to well-intentioned lies, such as parents' lies about Santa Claus, black lies refers to malicious lies.
「白色謊言」指善意的謊言，比如父母關於聖誕老人的謊言。和「白色謊言」相反，「黑色謊言」指的是惡意的謊言。
White lies are told to protect others, black lies are told to protect ourselves. Nobody got hurt when white lies are told. Black lies are used to deceive someone else usually for your own advantage. Usually, people get hurt or taken advantage off.
「白色謊言」的初衷是保護他人，「黑色謊言」則是為了保護自己。說白色謊言的話，沒有人會受傷。黑色謊言則是為了自己的利益去欺騙他人。通常，人們會受傷或者被佔便宜。
