I wish to Christ I could make up a really great lie. Sometimes, after an interview, I say to myself, 'Man, you were so honest - can't you have some fun? Can't you do some really down and dirty lying?' But the puritan in me thinks that if I tell a lie, I'll be punished.

  • -- Willem Dafoe 威廉·达福

我真希望我能编造一个弥天大谎。有时候,在面试结束后,我对自己说,‘伙计,你太诚实了——难道你就不能找点乐子吗?你就不能撒些下流下流的谎吗?但我内心的清教徒认为,如果我说谎,我就会受到惩罚。

It is harder to lie in an interview. A good interview - and it can be polite - is not a one way street like a candidate controlled ad. An interview is not programmed by the candidate and so the candidate can't be exactly sure what will be asked.

在面试中说谎更难。一个好的面试——它可以是礼貌的——不像一个候选人控制的广告那样是单向的。面试并不是由应聘者设计的,所以他不能确定面试官会问些什么。

In an interview with a journalist, you look petty taking the pot shot but in a slick ad you can really do damage - including unfair damage - from afar. It is not that much different than waging a war by a drone than by hand-to-hand combat.

在一个记者的采访中,你看起来很小气,但在一个巧妙的广告中,你真的可以做损害-包括不公平的损害-从远处。这与无人机作战和肉搏战没什么不同。
