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.
后来人们就把这个故事概括为“南辕北辙”，比喻一个人的行为和他的目的正好相反。

名师支招：教你用英语给别人提意见的方法
记得提出批评的目的并是要让人感到非常的难受；而是要帮助他们。不要直接的指责对方，而是用一种轻松的方式传达意见。用类似，"Next time you might want to …" 或是 "I find it helpful to …"能让人不觉得是在责备而觉得只是提供帮助。"Next time you might want to give a little more attention to the audience. I find it helpful to look people in the eyes while I am speaking."作者: doneast 时间: 2013-4-22 12:20
