核心句型：
Honesty is the best policy.
诚实总是上策。
Honesty is the best policy 直译过来就是：“诚实是最佳政策”，其实policy在此并不是“政策”的意思，而应该当“原则”来讲。这个俚语的意思是：“诚为上策，诚实是最佳的处世原则”。因此，当美国人说"Honesty is the best policy."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"Honesty must come first."、"Honesty is the most important rule."、"To be honest is of great importance."。
情景对白：
Terry: I've lost some important data of the project proceeding 1 now. What shall I do?
泰瑞：我弄丢了一个当前项目的重要数据，我该怎么办啊？
Benjamin: Oh, pal 2, you'd better confess the truth to the boss. Honesty is the best policy.
本杰明：哦，老朋友，你最好向老板交代事情真相。诚实总是上策。
搭配句积累：
①You'd better not lie to your boss when you make a mistake.
如果你犯了错，最好不要跟上司撒谎。
②Do you think that I should tell him the truth?
你认为我应该告诉他事情的真相吗？
③My head is in a whirl, and I need your advice.

④If I tell the truth, I'm afraid I would get fired.
