　　關於小學短篇英語故事：自相矛盾

　　Self-Contradictory

　　In ancient times, there was a man who sold spears as well as shields.

　　古時候，有一個人，他既賣矛又賣盾。

　　One day, he hawked his wares at the market and was very pleased with himself. He held up a shield and said: "My shield is very strong. No matter how sharp a spear is, it cannot pierce my shield."

　　一天，他在集市上叫賣，非常得意。他舉起他的盾說:“我的盾非常堅固，無論怎樣好的矛，都戳不穿它!”

　　After that, he held up his spear and bragged: "My spear is very sharp. No matter how strong a shield is, my spear can pierce it.

　　說完，他又舉起他的矛誇口說:“我的矛非常鋒利，無論怎樣堅固的盾都能戳進去!”

　　When the people standing by heard this, they laughed up their sleeves. One of them asked him:

　　站在旁邊的人聽了，都暗暗地發笑。有人問他:

　　"According to what you said, your spear is the sharpest. No matter how strong a shield is, your spear can pierce it. Your shield is also the strongest. No matter how sharp a spear is, it cannot pierce your shield. Now, if I poke your shield with your spear, what will be the result?"

　　“照你這樣說，你的矛是最鋒利的，無論怎樣硬的盾都戳得進去;你的盾又是最堅固的，無論怎樣鋒利的矛，也別想戳進去。那麼，現在我用你的矛來戳你的盾，看看結果會怎樣呢?”

　　The man was so embarrassed that he could not utter a single word.

　　那個人窘得連一句話也答不上來。

　　關於小學短篇英語故事：相輔相成

　　Complementing Each Other

　　In the past, a man bragged about his bow: "There is no bow better than mine. It doesn't need any arrow!"

　　從前，有個人自誇他的弓，說:“我的弓嘛，沒有比這更好的了，好得不需要用什麼箭的!”

　　Another man bragged about his arrow:"There is no arrow better than而ne. It doesn't need any bow!"

　　也有人在自誇他的箭，說:“我的箭，沒有比這更好的了，好得用不著什麼弓了!”

　　At that time, a man good at archery happened to pass by and heard their dialogue. He said:

　　這時候，恰好有一個會射箭的人從他們身邊走過，聽到他們的這段對話，就說:

　　"You are both wrong. One cannot shoot an arrow without a bow; and without an arrow, how can one hit the target?"

　　“你們兩人的話都不對。沒有弓，發不出箭;沒有箭，怎麼能射中目標呢?”

　　Thereupon, the man good at archery asked them to take out their bow and arrow. Then he showed them how to shoot at the target with a bow and an arrow.

　　說完後，會射箭的人還叫他們把弓和箭都拿出來，射箭給他們看。

　　Now they understood: A bow won't do without an arrow; nor an arrow without a bow. They complement each other.

　　他們這才明白:弓不能離開箭，箭也離不開弓，兩者相輔相成。

　　關於小學短篇英語故事：掩耳盜鈴

　　Covering One's Ears to Steal a Bell

　　Once upon a time, a man saw a doorbell hanging from someone's door and wanted to steal it.

　　從前，有個人看見人家大門上掛著一隻門鈴，就想把它偷來。

　　But he knew that if he were to steal the bell, it would start ringing the moment his hand touched it. If he were discovered, not only he couldn't get the bell, but he himself might also be caught.

　　但是，他知道，如果去偷這隻門鈴，只要手一碰到，就會發出“鈴鈴鈴”的響聲。如被人發覺，不但偷不到鈴，而且還會被捉住。

　　He thought this over and said to himself:

　　他想了想，自言自語地說:

　　"Why will there be trouble when a bell rings? This is because our ears can hear it. If I cover my ears, I won't be able to hear it. This way I won't be caught."

　　“為什麼鈴響了，就會闖出禍來呢?這是因為耳朵能聽見。假如把耳朵捂住，不是聽不見鈴聲了麼?這樣，就不會被人家捉住了。”

　　Later, he eventually got an idea. He first covered his own ears, then went on to steal the bell. However, in the end he was still discovered and caught red-handed.

　　後來，他終於想出了一個辦法:先把自己耳朵捂住，再去偷那隻門鈴。結果，他還是被人當場發現捉住了。
