自相矛盾

But when we take the time to explore the paradoxes and vagaries of English, we find that hot dogs can be cold, darkrooms can be lit, homework can be done in school, hours – especially happy hours and rush hours – can last longer than sixty minutes, quicksand works very slowly, boxing rings are square, silverware can be made of plastic and tablecloths of paper, and most telephones are dialed by being punched.

然而，一旦留神去想想那些自相矛盾、稀奇古怪的用法，我们会发现热狗其实是凉的，暗房其实是有灯的，家庭作业原来是在学校完成的，小时——特别是&欢乐时分&&高峰时分&—其实远比60分钟长，流沙其实是慢的，拳击场其实是方的，餐具其实可以是塑料的，桌布其实是纸做的，而且，电话不是拨的而是按的。

It cannot be otherwise, in view of the profoundly ambivalent nature of every "entropic" authority, which can only suppress life if there is life to suppress and so, in the last resort, depends for its own existence on life, whereas life in no way depends on it.

这不可能是别的什么，而是由于每一个&熵&的权威，其深刻的自相矛盾，它仅仅在有生活的情况下才能压抑生活，因此，说到底，为了它自己存在它要依赖生活，而生活不以任何方式依赖它。

I know it seems like a contradiction in terms; after all, reading is such a solitary, internalising act that it appears to represent a disengagement from day-to-day life.

我这种说法好像自相矛盾。阅读毕竟是孤独的活动，表面上看来，正代表对日常生活的脱离。

These are: body language, avoiding eye contact, when their voice changes from high to low pitch, and when they contradict themselves.

它们是：肢体语言，避免眼神交流，但他们的声音由高变低，以及他们自相矛盾。

The notion of ideological dilemmas comes out of this idea that interpretive repertoires, although they're part of the common sense ways of talking about things, they can also be contradictory.

思想观念的困境走出来的这个想法，诠释演出，虽然他们的常识谈论事物的方法的一部分，他们也可以是自相矛盾的。

Yet other modernists challenge the very attempt to define poetry as misguided, as when Archibald MacLeish concludes his paradoxical poem,"Ars Poetica," with the lines: A poem should not mean / but be.

&然而，其他现代挑战非常试图界定诗误导，如阿奇博尔马克雷什结束其自相矛盾的诗，&诗的艺术&的方针：&一首诗并不意味着/但会。

And because Gorgias agreed on this point, he said, he was forced to contradict himself, just the thing you like.

他说，高尔吉亚由于在这一点上同意了你，而不得不陷入自相矛盾，而你就喜欢这样。

Polus has fallen into the same error himself of which he accused Gorgias:-for he said that when Gorgias was asked by you, whether, if some one came to him who wanted to learn rhetoric, and did not know justice, he would teach him justice, Gorgias in his modesty replied that he would, because he thought that mankind in general would be displeased if he answered 'No'; and then in consequence of this admission, Gorgias was compelled to contradict himself, that being just the sort of thing in which you delight.

波卢斯刚才责备高尔吉亚，现在他自己也陷入同样的错误：他说，当你问高尔吉亚，如果有人来找他，想学修辞学，却不懂得正义，他是否愿意教他正义，高尔吉亚谦逊地回答说愿意，因为他觉得，如果他说&不&的话，人们往往会感到不快；然后，为了和这个允诺保持一致，高尔吉亚不得不陷入自相矛盾，而这正是你喜欢的。
