易混淆词

oxymoron
EN: An oxymoron is a figure of speech pairing contradictory terms (e.g., 'deafening silence'), while a paradox is a broader statement or situation that seems self-contradictory yet may reveal a deeper truth.
zh: 矛盾修辞法是将相互矛盾的词语搭配在一起（例如“震耳欲聋的沉默”），而悖论则是一种更广泛的陈述或情境，看似自相矛盾，却可能揭示更深层的真理。
irony
EN: Irony involves an outcome contrary to expectations, often with a humorous or pointed effect; a paradox is a logical contradiction that challenges understanding.
zh: 讽刺涉及与预期相反的结果，通常具有幽默或尖锐的效果；悖论是一种挑战理解的逻辑矛盾。

拼写提示

EN: Remember it is 'paradox' (from Greek 'para' + 'doxa' meaning opinion), not 'paradoxe' or 'paradoxon'. The plural is 'paradoxes', not 'paradoxa' in standard English.
zh: 请记住是 'paradox'（源自希腊语 'para' + 'doxa'，意为观点），而不是 'paradoxe' 或 'paradoxon'。复数形式是 'paradoxes'，在标准英语中不是 'paradoxa'。
