Aim south while driving northward
A certain northern traveler intended to travel to Chu. He started his journey on horseback by the foot of the Tai Hang Mountain by a way leading north. His friend was very surprised so he asked: "Chu is situated in the south so why you northward instead of going southward?"
"Never mind", the traveler replied obstinately, "my horse is a good steed. It runs very fast."
"No matter how fast it runs," said his friend, "you can never reach Chu by going northward."
"I have prepared sufficient traveler expenses." replied the traveler.
"Sufficient traveling expenses can help you neither." continued his friend.
"Well," answered the traveler still more obstinately. "I have a strong and capable groom at my service."
"No groom, how capable and strong he may be, can be of any use to you if you stick to going northward." concluded his friend.
The traveler did not listen to his friend and so he never reached Chu.
(《zhanguoce》)

Translation 譯文
有個北方人想到楚國去。他在太行山腳下騎著馬,準備沿著一條通向北方的大道奔馳。一個朋友覺得很奇怪,問他:“楚國是在南方,你應該向南方前進才對,你怎么沿著通向北方的大路前進呢?”
“沒關系”,那個北方人固執的回答,“我的馬是匹駿馬,它跑得很快。”
他朋友說:“你的馬無論跑多快,你向北方走總是到不了楚國的。”
那北方人說:“我已經準備了足夠的旅費。”
他朋友說:“充分的旅費也無濟于事。”
那北方人說:“我有個很健壯能干的馬夫幫我。”
他朋友說:“如果你堅持向北方走,雖然有能干強壯的'馬夫,也是沒用的。”
那北方人沒有聽他朋友的勸告,所以他也始終沒有到達楚國。
