called

　　a

　　half­truth.

　　Half­truths

　　are

　　not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

　　Some politicians often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “ During Governor Smith's term, the state lost

　　one

　　million jobs！”

　　That's

　　true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

　　Advertisers will sometimes use half­truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

　　This kind of deception happens too often. It's a sad fact of life：lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

　　这是一篇说明文。文章用具体的事例说明有些人利用真相来欺骗，这是因为他们把本应该包括在内的一些重要信息给隐去了，这样就给你造成了一种假象。
