From the first he was a twy-minded man--one of those divided natures which are inclined almost equally to two quite opposite careers.

从一开始，他就是一个思想矛盾人——一种裂人，几乎同样倾于从事两种完全相业。

Thus the law of contradiction is about things, and not merely about thoughts; and although belief in the law of contradiction is a thought, the law of contradiction itself is not a thought, but a fact concerning the things in the world.

因此，矛盾律是关于事物，而不仅仅是关于思想；尽管相信矛盾律是一种思想，但矛盾律本身并不是思想，而是关于世界事物事实。
