一小段英语短文翻译---------------高手帮忙22

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky（I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either）and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella（ah, the big sellers, in other words）. Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story（I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so）.

Answer 1

据世界书籍日报（不晓得是不是官方名）也有关于此的一些有趣信息。该日报说许多读者就是否阅读过简.奥斯丁，查尔斯.狄更斯，陀思妥耶夫斯基（我没读过他，但也没为此撒谎）和赫尔曼.梅尔维尔（好像是《白鲸》的作者）。

当问及他们为何撒谎，最普遍的原因是为了给他们的谈话对象留下深刻印象。但当谈话深入进行下去，这将领情况变得很棘手。

后头不翻了。
