“A great lie is like a great fish on dry land;

it may fret and fling and make a frightful bother,

but it cannot hurt you. You have only to keep still, and it will die of itself.”

                                                                                                           – George Crabbe, Poet

「漫天大謊好像困在陸地的大魚，它可以急蹦亂跳，

使你感到極為不安，但它不能傷害你，你只要不為所動，它就會自然死去。」

                                                                              – 喬治‧克雷布 (詩人)
