小學(xué)英語雙語故事賞析:自相矛盾

  自相矛盾

  A man of the state of Chu (chǔ guó 楚國) had a spear and a shield for sale.

  楚國有個(gè)賣兵器的人,在市場上賣矛和盾。

  He was loud in praises of his shield.“My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through.”

  為了讓人家愿意買他的貨,他先舉起盾向人們夸口道:“你們看,我的盾是世上最堅(jiān)固的盾,任何鋒利的東西都不能刺穿它。”

  He also sang praises of his spear.“My spear is so strong that it can pierce through anything.”

  接著又舉起他的矛,向人吹噓說:“你們再看看我的矛,它鋒利無比,無堅(jiān)不摧,無論多么堅(jiān)硬的盾,都擋不住它,一刺就穿!”

  “What would happen,” he was asked, “if your spear is used to pierce your shield?”

  人群中有人問道:“如果用你的矛去刺你的盾,結(jié)果怎么樣?”

  It is impossible for an impenetrable shield to coexist with a spear that finds nothing impenetrable.

  這世界上一樣無堅(jiān)不摧的東西永遠(yuǎn)不會與一樣什么都能摧毀的東西共存。

  “自相矛盾”的英文表達(dá),常用“to contradict oneself”,比如:“你自相矛盾了”就可以說:“You‘re contradicting yourself.”或者“You’ve contradicted yourself.”

  曾經(jīng)有一個(gè)英文帖子就討論過“Can you contradict yourself in one sentence? ”(你能在一句話里面做到自相矛盾嗎?),答案千奇百怪,這里就給大家看兩個(gè)例子~

  1. In the military it‘s, “Hurry up and wait.”(在軍隊(duì)里,有一種說法叫做“Hurry up and wait. ”,英語解釋是:“The concept of making every effort to arrive at a location ahead of the appointed time, with the expectation of having to wait upon arrival. ”也就是說不惜一切力量在指定時(shí)間之前就到達(dá)了目的地,但自己知道到達(dá)之后也要一直等到指定的時(shí)間。“hurry up(迅速)” 和“wait(等待)”是含有一定相對意義的詞,所以就在這么簡短的一句話中,就做到了自相矛盾~這句話也被廣泛應(yīng)用在各個(gè)場所、各個(gè)領(lǐng)域)

  2.Yes, I can’t.(這句有很簡短啊,同時(shí)還達(dá)到效果了~“yes(是的)”和“can‘t(不能、不會)”形成了自相矛盾的效果)
