明朝时候，有一个北京商人要去南京做生意。

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Beijing businessman going to Nanjing to do business.

他骑着千里马，一直向北奔驰。

He rode a horse for thousands of miles, all the way north.

在河边，一位老伯说：“你要去哪里啊？”

By the river, an old man said, "where are you going?"

商人说：“我要去南京。”

"I'm going to Nanjing," said the businessman

老伯说：“你去南京应该往南面走。”

The old man said, "you should go south to Nanjing."

商人说：“不用担心。我有千里马，我的盘缠多。

"Don't worry," said the businessman. I have thousands of horses, I have a lot of money.

老伯拦不住他。商人固执己见地骑马向北跑了。

Old man can't stop him. The merchant doggedly rode north.

老伯叹了一口气说：“又是一个南辕北辙的故事啊。”

The old man sighed and said, "it's a different story again."
