南轅北轍
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.

The idiom derived from this story indicates that one's action was the opposite effect to one's intention.

畫蛇添足
Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It
Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?" The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to It." tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
古時(shí)幾個(gè)人分一壺酒。他們都想獨(dú)自喝完那壺酒，所以就定了一個(gè)規(guī)矩：每人在地上畫一條蛇，誰畫得最快，這壺酒就歸誰。有一個(gè)人很快就把蛇畫好了。他正打算喝這壺酒時(shí)，看見別人都還在忙著畫，就決定給蛇再畫上幾只腳。結(jié)果，他的蛇腳還沒加完，另一個(gè)人已經(jīng)把蛇畫好了。那人一下把酒壺奪了過去，說："有誰見過長腳的蛇?"。這個(gè)故事告訴我們這樣的道理：做得過分和做得不夠都是不對(duì)的。
