中國成語典故中英對照:南轅北轍
Going South by Driving the Chariot 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.
