2023年3月英語四級翻譯預測：自相矛盾

2023年3月英語四級將在3月12日上午舉行，大家在考試前也要認真複習哦。@本站英語四六級微信公衆號爲大家整理了四級翻譯乾貨，一起來看看吧。

從前，有一個賣矛和盾的楚國人。他大聲地誇獎他的盾: "我的盾是最堅固的，沒有東西能刺透它。”接着，他又讚美他的矛：“我的矛是最銳利的，它能刺透任何東西。"有人問他：“那如果用你的矛去刺你的盾， 會怎麼樣呢?賣矛和盾的人回答不出來了。故事告訴我們：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，我們都要實事求是，三思而後行。

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.
