One day, Ji Liang went to see the King of Wei and reported:
一天,季梁去見(jiàn)魏王,報(bào)告說(shuō):
"When I was coming here, I saw a man on the road driving a horse carriage north in great haste.
“這次,我來(lái)的時(shí)候,在路上看到一個(gè)人,駕著馬車(chē)往北走,走得很急。
"I asked him: `Where are you going in such haste?'
“我問(wèn)他:‘走得這么急,你要去哪兒?’
"He replied: `I am going to the State of Chu.'
“他回答說(shuō):‘我要到楚國(guó)去。’
"I said: `If you want to go to the State of Chu, you should go south.
“我說(shuō):‘你去楚國(guó),應(yīng)該朝南走。
Why are you going north? You are going the wrong way!’
怎么往北呢?你走錯(cuò)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.'
“他說(shuō):‘我的馬很好,又高又大,跑起來(lái)跟飛一樣快。多跑點(diǎn)兒沒(méi)關(guān)系?!?/p>
"I told him: `Though your horse is good, you are going in the wrong direction.'
“我告訴他:‘你的馬雖然好,可是去楚國(guó)的方向不對(duì)呀!
"He said: `It doesn't matter. I have lots of money.'
“他說(shuō):‘沒(méi)關(guān)系,我有很多錢(qián)?!?/p>
"I told him again: `Though you have lots of money, this is not the road to the State of Chu.'
“我又告訴他:‘你錢(qián)雖然多,但是這不是去楚國(guó)的路呀!’
"He said: `It doesn't matter. My driver is good and strong.'
“他說(shuō):‘沒(méi)關(guān)系,我的車(chē)夫好,他身強(qiáng)力壯。’
"Finally I told him: `Though your driver is good and strong, this is not the road to the State of Chu."
“最后我告訴他:‘你的車(chē)夫雖然好,但是這不是去楚國(guó)的路呀!'
The King of Wei blurted out: "Alas, this man is too obstinate.
魏王脫口說(shuō)道:“唉!這個(gè)人真固執(zhí)。
He doesn't realize that if his direction is wrong, the better he is equipped, the farther he would be away from his destination."
他不知道方向錯(cuò)了,條件越好,離開(kāi)目的地就越遠(yuǎn)?!?/p>
