英译汉（10分） 1. Pathological liars are persons who lie constantly and for no apparent reason.They will lie about anything.They seem to be unable to control the impulse to lie.Studies of such people find that many of them were badly treated as children,many came from families in which one member was an alcoholic or was mentally ill,and many grew up in families in which the truth was simply never valued or practiced.They seem to have an unusually strong need to be liked and admired by others.But not everyone of them,this is true,becomes an uncontrollable liar,and no one knows why some do and some don’t.
