We are told from a young age that honesty is the best policy. This is
generally true. But when someone asks for your honest opinion about something
they have invested a lot of time and energy in, and you don't like what you
see, honesty isn't necessarily the "easiest" policy - even if it is the best.
That doesn't mean you have to lie, but you do have options. You could avoid
the question and gauge whether they can handle what you have to say. If not,
try to soften your message by delivering it in a kind and constructive way,
which preserves your integrity and gives them what they want.
我们从小就被教育诚实为上策。这通常是对的。
但是当有人要求你对他们付出很多心血的事情提出诚实的意见时
(你并不喜欢你所看到的)，诚实就不一定是最"简单"的良策。
这并不代表你必须说谎，你有其他的选项。
你可以技巧性地闪避问题，并衡量他们是否可以接受你说的话。
如果无法接受，那请尝试以善意和建设性的角度提供看法，
这样既可以保持你的诚信也为他们提供想要的意见。
