汉英双语《南辕北辙》

汉英双语寓言故事10
《南辕北辙》

从前有个人要到南方去，他坐的车子却向北方行驶。
过路人说:“你去南方，车子怎么向北行驶呢?”
他回答说:“我的马很能跑路，我的车夫驾车的技术也很高明，加上我又带了充足的路费。”
这个人没有考虑到，方向弄反了，他的条件越好，离他要去的地方就越远。
后来人们就把这个故事概括为“南辕北辙”。


Going South by Driving the Chariot North

Once a man wanted to go to the south，but his carriage was heading north.

A passer-by asked him :'lf you are going to the south ，why is your chariot heading north?'

The man answered ,'My horse is good at running , my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage ，and I have enough money. '

The man didn't consider that the direction might be wrong; the better his conditions were ，the further he was away from his destination.
