中國(guó)成語(yǔ)典故中英對(duì)照:南轅北轍
Going South by Driving the Chariot North
從前有個(gè)人要到南方去，他坐的車子卻向北方行駛。過(guò)路人說(shuō)：“你去南方，車子怎么向北行駛呢？”他回答說(shuō)：“我的馬很能跑路，我的車夫駕車的技術(shù)也很高明，加上我又帶了充足的路費(fèi)。”這個(gè)人沒(méi)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(yuǎn)。
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.
后來(lái)人們就把這個(gè)故事概括為“南轅北轍”，比喻一個(gè)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.
