小学英语童话故事：Spears and Shields 矛和盾

Once, there was a man who sold spears and shields in a fair.

“Spears! Sharp spears and strong shields!” he shouted.

But nobody bought his spears and shields. Then he boasted, “Look at my shields. Nothing can pierce them. And my spears can cut through any thing.

Another man passed by, he asked the man, “Use your spears to cut through your shields. What will happen?”

矛和盾

从前，有个人在街上卖矛和盾。

“卖矛啦！卖盾啦！锋利的矛，坚固的盾！”他喊道。

但是没人买他的矛和盾。然后他就大吹：“我的盾坚固无比，没有东西能穿破它。我的矛锋利无比，可以穿破任何东西。”

有个过路人经过这里，他问：“用你的矛刺你的盾，结果会怎样呢？”
