【人文类摘要】
中文摘要
这些年来，“要敢讲真话”，叫得很响。从实际情况看，辨别真话还是有标准的。目前，我看至少有两个。一个是心里怎么想，口头怎么说，就叫真话。一个是，说的符合实际，不夸大，不缩小，没有片面性，就叫讲真话。两种标准，实际上是从两种不同的意义上，或者说两种不同层次上来谈论“真话”的。但由此也便产生了倡言“讲真话”时的歧义。看来，我们不能只停留在提倡“口心一致”的“真话”上，还要进一步提倡实事求是的“真话”。当然，提倡追求真理的“真话”，并不否认讲心里话。同志之间，朋友之间，包括对待上下级，都应该敞开思想，有话就说，不必顾忌。但是写文章，做演说，搞创作，情况有所不同，都是用自己的话，去宣传人，影响社会，这就要顾及讲话的效果。(309字)

On Telling the Truth
In recent years, there is much talk about “telling the truth”, but criteria are quite different. There are at least two criteria to distinguish the truth. One is to speak out what one thinks arbitrarily, the other is to be realistic without any exaggeration and one-sided view. Different criteria may bring about various meanings when “telling the truth”. Accordingly, we should not only advocate the practice of saying what one thinks, but more importantly, the spirit of seeking truth from facts. The pursuit of truth does not contradict speaking out one’s mind. We may talk freely with comrades and friends, while in writing or making speeches, we should be prudent, taking various realistic factors into consideration. (116 words)
