By the age of 3 or 4, we all start to lie. At this point in our brain's development, we learn that we have an incredibly versatile and powerful tool at our disposal -- our language -- and we can use it to actually play with reality and affect the outcome of what's happening.
人到了三四岁就开始说谎。在大脑发育的这个节点,人们认识到自己有一种多功能的强大工具可用,那就是语言。人们实际上可以用它来颠倒是非并影响事情的结局。
Lying is "bad", but we all have to lie sometimes. But some people are pathological liars, meaning they can't stop spreading misinformation about themselves and others.
说谎“不好”,但谁都不得不偶尔说谎。但有些人是病态撒谎精,忍不住要传播关于自己和别人的错误信息。
The psychological reasons for why some people are this way is a bit of a mystery, but according to the third edition of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders", pathological lying is a disorder in its own right, as well as a symptom of personality disorders like psychopathy.
这种行为的心理学原因有点神秘莫测,但根据第三版《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》,病理性说谎不仅与心理变态和自恋一样,同为人格障碍的症状,其本身也是一种病。
Psychiatrist Judith Orloff said pathological liars have empathy deficient disorder, meaning they lack empathy, which essentially means a lack of conscience.
