2023年3月英語四級翻譯預測：自相矛盾

以前，有一個賣矛和盾的楚國人。他大聲地夸獎他的盾: "我的盾是最堅固的，沒東西能刺透它。”接著，他又贊美他的矛：“我的矛是最銳利的，它能刺透任何東西。"有人問他：“那假如用你的矛去刺你的盾， 會如何呢?賣矛和盾的人回答不出來了。故事告訴大家：世界上不可能同時存在最堅固的盾和最銳利的矛。無論是說話還是做事，大家都要實事求是，三思而后行。

參考譯文：

once upon a time, there was a man of the State of Chu who sold spears as well as shields. He loudly praised his shield: "My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through. After that, he held up his spear and bragged: "My spear is the sharpest. It can pierce through anything." Someone asked him, "What will happen if your spear is used to pierce your shield?" The man who sold spears and shields was unable to give an answer. The story tells us that it is impossible for the strongest shield to coexist with a spear that finds nothing impenetrable. No matter what we say ordo, we should seek truth from facts and think before we act.
