Question

自相矛盾出自哪里？

Answer 1

自相矛盾
A man of the state of Chu (chǔ guó 楚国) had a spear and a shield for sale.
楚国有个卖兵器的人，在市场上卖矛和盾。
He was loud in praises of his shield."My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through."
为了让人家愿意买他的货，他先举起盾向人们夸口道：“你们看，我的盾是世上最坚固的盾，任何锋利的东西都不能刺穿它。”
He also sang praises of his spear."My spear is so strong that it can pierce through anything."
接着又举起他的矛，向人吹嘘说：“你们再看看我的矛，它锋利无比，无坚不摧，无论多么坚硬的盾，都挡不住它，一刺就穿!”
"What would happen," he was asked, "if your spear is used to pierce your shield?"
人群中有人问道：“如果用你的矛去刺你的盾，结果怎么样?”
It is impossible for an impenetrable shield to coexist with a spear that finds nothing impenetrable.
这世界上一样无坚不摧的东西永远不会与一样什么都能摧毁的东西共存。
