作战篇 NO.2:
不可胜者,守也;可胜者,攻也。
守则不足,攻则有余。
善守者藏于九地之下,善攻者动于九天之上,故能自保而全胜也。
这句啥意思:
敌人无可乘之机,不能被战胜,且防守以待之;敌人有可乘之机,能够被战胜,则出奇攻而取之。
防守是因为我方兵力不足,进攻是因为兵力超过对方。
善于防守的,隐藏自己的兵力如同在深不可测的地下;善于进攻的部队就象从天而降,敌不及防。这样,才能保全自己而获得全胜。
英文这么说:
Security against defeat implies defensive 1 tactics;ability to defeat the enemy means taking the offensive.
Standing 2 on the defensive indicates insufficient 3 strength; attacking, a superabundance of strength.
The general who is skilled in defense 4 hides in the most secret recesses 5 of the earth; he who is skilled in attack flashes forth 6 from the topmost heights of heaven.Thus on the one hand we have ability to protect ourselves;on the other, a victory that is complete.
《善守善攻》
“守则不足,攻则不余。”防守是因为存在不足,需要养精蓄锐,厚积薄发;进攻是因为有过人之处,抓住机遇,一展身手。越王勾践卧薪尝胆十年,采取卑下、保守的姿态正是因为此时抵不过吴国;一旦时机成熟,则进攻,一举拿下吴国,洗脱十年冤屈。因此,孙子又说,“善守者,藏于九地之下;善攻者,动于九天之上。”
