　　More than seven in ten (72 per cent) admitted to bending the truth on a first date to appear more attractive, such as the job they did, and the number of previous girlfriends.

　　Interestingly, just under two thirds of the men polled (64 per cent) said they felt it was fair to tell a few white lies.

　　為了提升吸引力，72%的男性承認在首次約會時會編造事實，比如他們從事過的工作，談過幾次戀愛。

　　超過半數的男性在談及他們的職業前景時往往言過其實，因為他們相信這樣會在女性面前顯得更有吸引力。

　　有趣的是，接近三分之二(64%)的受訪男性認為撒個無傷大雅的謊言沒什么大不了的。

　　【講解】

　　文中的first date就是“首次約會”的意思，其中date作名詞，意為“約會”，如：keep a date(赴約)，在美國口語中，也可指“約會對象或舞伴”，如：He asked her to be his date for the school dance.(他請她在學校的舞會上做他的舞伴。)

　　第三段中的white lie解釋為“善意的謊言”，類似的表達還有：black sheep(害群之馬)，green girl(新手，黃毛丫頭)，blue blood(名門望族)等。
