寓言故事中英文版--自相矛盾


 


(http://www.epochtimes.com)








從有個小販，在街頭販賣矛和盾。



他說：「看我的盾，多麼堅固！它是用最堅韌的材料做的，不論甚麼東西，都不能刺穿它。」




過了一會，他又舉起一支長矛說：「看這支長矛，多麼鋒利！它是用最堅硬的材料做的，不管甚麼東西，都能刺破。你們大家來開開眼界吧。」



有個觀眾聽了，走到小販面前問道：「如果用你的矛去刺你的盾，又將會如何呢？」



那愛吹噓的小販被他問得啞口無言了。

 

The Shield And The Spear


 


There was once a street vendor who hawked shields and spears.


 


One day he said to the passersby, "Look at my shields! They are the strongest you can find. Made of the most durable material, nothing can pierce them."


 


After a while he picked up a spear and bragged, "Look at this spear! It's the sharpest you can find. Made of the hardest material, it can pierce anything. Come and see for yourself!"


 


An onlooker came up to the street vendor and asked, "Tell me what will happen if I throw you spear at your shield."


 


"Well...," the boastful street vendor was tongue-tied.
