But I still believe that these are just a few cases, since honesty is deeply rooted in our minds and we still consider it as a basic principle in social contacts.

Recently, I have seen an impressive film—“Meet the Parents”, which is about a woman Palm brought her boyfriend Greg to her parents’ home to spend holiday. In the film, Greg was so dishonest to Palm’s parents that Palm’s father is suspicious of his behavior and quality. As a result, Greg is obnoxious to all and has to leave. As far as I am concerned, the consequence is heavily caused by his dishonesty. If Greg could be real him all the time, he would get much respect and appreciation and would not get much frustration. From the film, I have learned that being honest was extremely important and necessary. In other words, being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others.

最近，我看了一部印象深刻的电影——《见家长》。这部电影是关于一名叫帕姆的女性带她的男朋友格雷格去父母家度假的事故。剧中，格雷格最帕姆的父母很不诚实，因此她父母怀疑他的行为品质。结果，所有的人都讨厌格雷格，他不得不离开。在我看来，他的不诚实带来了严重影响。如果格雷格能够展现真实的他，他就会得到更多的尊重和赏识，就不会有那么多的无奈。从影片中，我懂得了诚实是相当重要和必要的。换句话说，诚实是我们与他人交往的基本原则。

For one thing, we will not get others’ trust unless we are honest. If we deceive others, we would get the same in return, and even no one would make friends with us or even communicate with us. For another, we will get others’ respect and appreciation if telling the truth. Telling the truth and being ourselves, we will get a healthy and peaceful surrounding to grow up better.

一方面，除非我们队别人诚实，否则我们得不到别热的信任。如果我们欺骗别人，我们也会得到同样的对待，甚至没有人会和我们做朋友或者沟通。另一方面，如果我们说真话，我们会得到别人的尊重和赏识。说真话，做自己，我们会拥有健康平静的环境以更好的成长。

However, something strange happens in our society. There is a strange phenomenon that honest people suffer but the dishonest benefit a lot. It made some people have a suspicion that being honest is not so important.

然而，社会上仍有一些奇怪的事情发生。有这样一个奇怪的现象，老实人吃亏，不老实人获益良多。这使得有些人怀疑诚实是否没那么重要了。

But I still believe that these are just a few cases, since honesty is deeply rooted in our minds and we still consider it as a basic principle in social contacts.

但是，我仍然相信这样的情况是少数的。因为诚实深深根植于我们的思想中，我们仍然把它当做是社交过程中的基本原则。
