英語寓言故事·南轅北轍

來源：育路高考網發布時間：2012-08-02

　　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： 'If 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.

　　譯文

　　從前有個人要到南方去，他坐的車子卻向北方行駛。過路人說：“你去南方，車子怎么向北行駛呢?”他回答說：“我的馬很能跑路，我的車夫駕車的技術也很高明，加上我又帶了充足的路費。”這個人沒有考慮到，方向弄反了，他的條件越好，離他要去的地方就越遠。

　　寓意

　　后來人們就把這個故事概括為“南轅北轍”，比喻一個人的行為和他的目的正好相反。

　　The idiom derived from this story indicates that one's action was the opposite effect to one's intention.
