A young man ran a business in the market.
One day, he held up a shield and said proudly: “My shield is very strong.
It can stop any spear in the world.” Then he held up his spear and bragged: “My spear is very sharp. No matter how strong a shield is, my spear can pierce it.” People all around here laughed when they heard the words of the young man.
One of them asked: “So, according to what you said, your spear is the sharpest. No matter how strong a shield is, your spear can pierce it. And your shield is also the strongest. No matter how sharp a spear is, it can’t pierce your shield. Well, what will happen if I pierce your shield with your spear?"
古时候,有一个人,他既卖矛又卖盾。一天,他在集市上叫卖,非常得意。他举起他的盾说:“我的盾非常坚固。无论怎样好的矛,都戳不穿它!”说完,他又举起他的矛夸口说:“我的矛非常锋利。无论怎样坚固的盾都能戳进去!”
站在旁边的人听了,都暗暗地发笑。
有人问他:“照你这样说,你的矛是最锋利的。无论怎样硬的盾都戳得进去。你的盾又是最坚固的。无论怎样锋利的矛,也别想戳进去。
那么,现在我用你的矛来戳你的盾,看看结果会怎样呢?”
