what does 辕 mean?what does 辙mean ?
南辕(yuan2)北辙(zhe2)
从前有一个人,坐着马车在大路上飞跑。
他的朋友看见了,叫住他问:“ 你上哪去呀?”
他回答说:“到楚国去。”
朋友很奇怪,提醒他说:“楚国在南边,你怎么往北走呀?”
他说:“没关系,我的马跑得快。”
朋友说:“马跑得越快,不是离楚国越远了吗?”
他说:“没关系,我的车夫是个好把式”
朋友摇摇头,说:“那你哪一天才能到楚国呀?”
他说:“没关系,不怕时间久,我带的盘缠(chan2)多。”
楚国在南边,他硬要往北边走。他的马越好,赶车的本领越大,盘缠带得越多,走得越远,就越到不了楚国。
把式:craftsman,车夫:车把式,赶车的。 盘缠:money for the journey.
