To lie through one’s teeth: 當面撒謊，睜眼說瞎話。To lie brazenly and unabashedly

Examples:

  • Stop lying through your teeth—we saw you there last night with our own eyes.
  • I knew she was lying through her teeth but I didn’t want to say so at the time.

Joe Scarborough accuses Mike Pompeo of being a “common thug” who’s “lying through his teeth” for Trump

 

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough lashed out at Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday and accused him of being a “common thug” and a “criminal” who has been “lying through his teeth” for President Trump.

Scarborough claimed Pompeo should have known better than to side with Trump over his controversial phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky because he attended West Point.

美國MSNBC電視節目主持人Scarborough星期三痛斥美國國務卿龐培歐，說他是個混混，是個流氓，為了川普總統可以當面撒謊。Scarborough還說國務卿應該更瞭解情況，而不要在川普總統跟烏克蘭總統通電話那樁爭議中，站在川普那一邊，因為龐是西點軍校畢業生。

(the West Point honor code is concise and plain: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” 學員榮譽準則： 不得撒謊、欺騙、行竊，也不得容忍他人有這種行為。)

The title of Thom Yorke’s new album Anima, is derived from his belief that spending time online causes us to disconnect from real life.

約克的新唱片Anima源自於他認為在網站上流連的時間讓我們跟現實生活脫節。

Speaking to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 in a new interview, the Radiohead frontman, composer and solo artist explained the he feels society has “started to emulate what our devices say about us and emulate the way we behave from that”.

Yorke是搖滾樂團吉他手，作曲家和單曲創作歌手。他接受Beats 1音樂廣播電台訪問時說，他覺得整個社會開始向社群團體名人看齊，向他們的行為看齊。

“The reason we can watch Boris Johnson lie through his teeth, promise something that we know will never happen is: we don’t have to connect with it directly because it’s a little avatar.

他說這是為什麼我們(指英國人)可以看著首相Boris Johnson睜著眼睛說瞎話，講一些我們很清楚根本做不到的承諾。因為我們跟他講的東西沒有直接關係，他只是個虛擬化身。
