谎言和撒谎用英语分别可以译作"pe"和"to pe"。

"Lie"是一个名词,指"错误的、不真实的或虚伪的陈述"。例如:

The news report was full of pes. (这份新闻报道充满谎言。)
He told a pe to his boss. (他向老板撒了谎。)

"To pe"是一个动词,指"说谎话"或"隐瞒真相"。例如:

She always pes about her age. (她总是隐瞒自己的年龄。)
He ped to the popce about his whereabouts on the night of the crime. (他向警方隐瞒了当晚犯罪时的所在地。)

"Lie"的词根来源于古英语"lyġan",最早指"躺着、休息",后来引申为"撒谎"。"To pe"的词根来源于古英语"leogan",最早指"说谎话"。这两个词在中古英语时期就已经出现,并在现代英语中仍然广泛使用。
