中国成语寓言故事79:Going South by Driving the Carriage North南辕北辙(双语)

阅读 :


    One day, Ji Liang went to see the King of Wei and reported:

    一天,季梁去见魏王,报告说:

    "When I was coming here, I saw a man on the road driving a horse ca币age north in great haste.

    “这次,我来的时候,在路上看到一个人,驾着马车往北走,走得很急。

    "I asked him: `Where are you going in such haste?'

    “我问他:‘走得这么急,你要去哪儿?’

    "He replied: `I am going to the State of Chu.'

    “他回答说:‘我要到楚国去。’

    "I said: `If you want to go to the State of Chu, you should go south. Why are you going north? You are going the wrong way!’

    “我说:‘你去楚国,应该朝南走,怎么往北呢?你走错了!’

    "He said: `My horse is big and strong. It can run as fast as flying. It doesn't matter to run a little more.'

    “他说:‘我的马很好,又高又大,跑起来跟飞一样快。多跑点儿没关系。’

    "I told him: `Though your horse is good, you are going in the wrong direction.'

    “我告诉他:‘你的马虽然好,可是去楚国的方向不对呀!

    "He said: `It doesn't matter. I have lots of money.'

    “他说:‘没关系,我有很多钱。’

    "I told him again: `Though you have lots of money, this is not the road to the State of Chu.'

    “我又告诉他:‘你钱虽然多,但是这不是去楚国的路呀!’

    "He said: `It doesn't matter. My driver is good and strong.'

    “他说:‘没关系,我的车夫好,他身强力壮。’

    "Finally I told him: `Though your driver is good and strong, this is not the road to the State of Chu."

    “最后我告诉他:‘你的车夫虽然好,但是这不是去楚国的路呀!'

    The King of Wei blurted out: "Alas, this man is too obstinate. He doesn't realize that if his direction is wrong, the better he is equipped, the farther he would be away from his destination."
 

    魏王脱口说道:“唉!这个人真固执。他不知道方向错了,条件越好,离开目的地就越远。”(编者注:如果喜欢本文章可以点击文章右上方的关注或者右下角的赞哦!感谢各位读者。)
