　　寓言一：南轅北轍

　　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(shù)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(yuǎn)。

　　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.

Thereupon he tried to bread the pitcher, then to overturn it, seeing some small pebbles at hand, he dropped a great many of them, one by one, into the pitcher, and so raised the water to the brim, and quenched his thirst.

　　譯 文

Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

　　After a few months, his animal came back, leading a fine horse from the north. Everyone congratulated him.

　　"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a cause of misfortune," said his father.

　　Since he was well-off and kept good horses his son became fond of riding and eventually broke his thigh bone falling from a horse. Everyone commiserated with him.

　　"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father.

　　One year later, the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. All able-bodied young men took up arms and fought against the invaders, and as a result, around the border nine out of ten men died. This man's son did not join in the fighting because he was crippled and so both the boy and his father survived.

　　譯 文

　　戰(zhàn)國時期，靠近北部邊城，住著一個老人，名叫塞翁。塞翁養(yǎng)了許多馬，一天，他的馬群中忽然有一匹走失了。鄰居們聽說這件事，跑來安慰，勸他不必太著急，年齡大了，多注意身體。塞翁見有人勸慰，笑了笑說：“丟了一匹馬損失不大，沒準(zhǔn)會帶來什么福氣呢。”

　　鄰居聽了塞翁的話，心里覺得很好笑。馬丟了，明明是件壞事，他卻認(rèn)為也許是好事，顯然是自我安慰而已。過了幾天，丟失的馬不僅自動返回家，還帶回一匹匈奴的駿馬。

　　鄰居聽說了，對塞翁的預(yù)見非常佩服，向塞翁道賀說：“還是您有遠(yuǎn)見，馬不僅沒有丟，還帶回一匹好馬，真是福氣呀。”

　　塞翁聽了鄰人的祝賀，反而一點高興的樣子都沒有，憂慮地說：“白白得了一匹好馬，不一定是什么福氣，也許惹出什么麻煩來。”

　　鄰居們以為他故作姿態(tài)純屬老年人的狡猾。心里明明高興，有意不說出來。

　　塞翁有個獨生子，非常喜歡騎馬。他發(fā)現(xiàn)帶回來的那匹馬顧盼生姿，身長蹄大，嘶鳴嘹亮，膘悍神駿，一看就知道是匹好馬。他每天都騎馬出游，心中洋洋得意。

　　一天，他高興得有些過火，打馬飛奔，一個趔趄，從馬背上跌下來，摔斷了腿。鄰居聽說，紛紛來慰問。

　　塞翁說：“沒什么，腿摔斷了卻保住性命，或許是福氣呢。”鄰居們覺得他又在胡言亂語。他們想不出，摔斷腿會帶來什么福氣。

　　不久，匈奴兵大舉入侵，青年人被應(yīng)征入伍，塞翁的兒子因為摔斷了腿，不能去當(dāng)兵。入伍的青年都戰(zhàn)死了，唯有塞翁的兒子保全了性命。

　　這故事說明，我們遇事要隨機應(yīng)變方能避免危險。
