翻译成现代白话文:战国时代,有一个楚国人,叫卖矛和盾这两种武器。营销气氛搞的不赖,买武器送皂角,瓜果蔬菜随便挑。把人吸引过来以后,业务员宣称:本公司制造的鲁班牌盾牌,是鲁班后代采用最新工艺,取用天外陨石,经过九九八十一天锤炼而成。绝对是大师之作。这个盾牌非常坚固,没有什么武器可以刺破它,让每一个在战场上使用的它的人,都能保住性命。本公司的矛也是匠心之作,它非常锋利,没有什么东西是它无法刺破的,让每一个使用它的人杀敌建功,无往不胜 。正当群情涌动,争先恐后掏腰包时,一个好事者问:用你的矛刺你的盾,会怎么样呢?无所不破的矛和无法刺破的盾是不能同时存在的,业务员瞬间石化,不知道怎么回答。围观者一阵唏嘘,只好笑笑离开了。这就是自相矛盾的故事。韩非用来述说进说者有时会陷入矛盾不能自圆其说的境地,政见不为君主采纳的难处。这个成语指的是一个人说话、行动前后抵触,不一致;也指同伙间的相互争吵或冲突。
Translate into modern vernacular: During the Warring States period, there was a man from Chu who sold two types of weapons, the spear and the shield.The marketing atmosphere is quite good, with weapons given away for free along with soapberry, and you can pick any melons, fruits, or vegetables you like. Once people are attracted, the salesperson claims: The Lu Ban brand shield made by our company is crafted by the descendants of Lu Ban using the latest technology, incorporating meteorite fragments from outer space, and forged over eighty-one days. It's undoubtedly a masterpiece.It is definitely a masterpiece. This shield is extremely sturdy, and there is no weapon that can pierce through it, ensuring the survival of anyone who uses it on the battlefield. Our company's spear is also a work of art, incredibly sharp, capable of piercing through anything, allowing every user to defeat enemies and achieve victory without fail.Just as the crowd was getting heated and eagerly reaching into their pockets, an inquisitive person asked: What would happen if you use your spear to pierce your shield? A spear that can penetrate anything and a shield that cannot be pierced cannot coexist. The salesperson was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to respond. The onlookers sighed, then left with a chuckle.This is a self-contradictory story.Han Fei used this phrase to describe the situation where an advisor might fall into a contradictory position and be unable to justify himself, or when political opinions are not adopted by the ruler. This idiom refers to someone whose words and actions contradict each other; it can also refer to conflicts or quarrels among associates. |
