话说那个一心想去楚国的人带着他车技高超的车夫,驾着他的好马、带着鼓鼓的钱袋继续朝北走去。

It said that the man who wanted to go to the state of Chu with his skillful coachman, his good horse and his bulging purse continued to walk north.

他不停地走啊走啊,经过了燕国、齐国……时间一天一天的过去了,马累瘦了,钱袋子也越来越轻了,车夫说:“主人,我们看来不能再往前了,否则我们都回不去了。”这个人想了想,说:“不行,我要是回去了,不就承认我错了吗?那多没面子!”车夫一听只好偷偷地跑了。

He kept walking and walking, passing Yan state and Qi State Time passed by day by day, the horse was thin, and the money bag was lighter and lighter. The driver said, "master, it seems that we can't go any further, otherwise we can't go back." The man thought about it and said, "no, if I go back, won't I admit that I'm wrong? That's disgraceful! " The coachman had to sneak away.

这个人结果连回魏国的钱都没了,只好把那匹瘦马卖了,凑了点路费悄悄地回了魏国。

As a result, the man had no money to go back to the state of Wei, so he had to sell the thin horse and collect some travelling expenses to go back to the state of Wei quietly.

看来这人不仅固执已见,还死要面子活受罪,真是悲哀啊!

It seems that this man is not only stubborn, but also dead to face and suffer. It's really sad!
