經典寓言故事:南轅北轍

One day, Ji Liang went to see the King of Wei and reported: "When I was coming here, I saw a man on the road driving a horse carage north in great haste.

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

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

"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!'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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."

一天,季樑去見魏王,報告說:“這次,我來的時候,在路上看到一個人,駕着馬車往北走,走得很急。

“我問他:‘走得這麼急,你要去哪兒?’

“他回答說:‘我要到楚國去。’

“我說:‘你去楚國,應該朝南走,怎麼往北呢?你走錯了!’

“他說:‘我的馬很好,又高又大,跑起來跟飛一樣快。多跑點兒沒關係。’

“我告訴他:‘你的馬雖然好,可是去楚國的方向不對呀!’

“他說:‘沒關係,我有很多錢。’

“我又告訴他:‘你錢雖然多,但是這不是去楚國的路呀!’

“他說:‘沒關係,我的車伕好,他身強力壯。’

“最後我告訴他:‘你的車伕雖然好,但是這不是去楚國的路呀!’

魏王脫口說道:“唉!這個人真固執。他不知道方向錯了,條件越好,離開目的地就越遠。”
