希尼爾翻譯公司（m.shreekrishnajewellers.com）2016年1月23日了解到：Chapter 1: Winning Stratagems
　　第一套 勝戰(zhàn)計
　　第一計 瞞天過海
　　crossing the sea under camouflage
　　
　　▌原文
　　備周則意??；常見則不疑。陰在陽之內(nèi)，不在陽之對。太陽，太陰。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Mask your real goals, by using the ruse of a fake goal, until the real goal is achieved. Tactically, this is known as an 'open feint': in front of everyone, you point west, when your goal is actually in the east.
　　第二計 圍魏救趙
　　relieving the state of Zhao by besieging the state of Wei
　　
　　▌原文
　　共敵不如分敵；敵陽不如敵陰。
　　▌英文注釋
　　When the enemy is too strong to be attacked directly, then attack something he holds dear. Know that he cannot be superior in all things. Somewhere there is a gap in the armour, a weakness that can be attacked instead. The idea here is to avoid a head-on battle with a strong enemy, and instead strike at his weakness elsewhere. This will force the strong enemy to retreat in order to support his weakness. Battling against the now tired and low-morale enemy will give a much higher chance of success.
　　第三計 借刀殺人
　　killing someone with a borrowed knife
　　
　　▌原文
　　敵已明，友示定，引友殺敵，不自出力，以《損》推演。
　　▌英文注釋
　　When you do not have the means to attack your enemy directly, then attack using the strength of another. Trick an ally into attacking him, bribe an official to turn traitor, or use the enemy's own strength against him.
　　第四計 以逸待勞
　　waiting at one's ease for the exhausted enemy
　　
　　▌原文
　　困敵之勢，不以戰(zhàn)；損剛益柔。
　　▌英文注釋
　　It is an advantage to choose the time and place for battle. In this way you know when and where the battle will take place, while your enemy does not. Encourage your enemy to expend his energy in futile quests while you conserve your strength. When he is exhausted and confused, you attack with energy and purpose.
　　第五計 趁火打劫
　　plundering a burning house
　　
　　▌原文
　　敵之害大，就勢取利，剛決柔也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　When a country is beset by internal conflicts, when disease and famine ravage the population, when corruption and crime are rampant, then it will be unable to deal with an outside threat. This is the time to attack.
　　第六計 聲東擊西
　　making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
　　
　　▌原文
　　敵志亂萃，不虞，坤下兌上之象。利其不自主而取之。
　　▌英文注釋
　　In any battle the element of surprise can provide an overwhelming advantage. Even when face to face with an enemy, surprise can still be employed by attacking where he least expects it. To do this you must create an expectation in the enemy's mind through the use of a feint.
　　Chapter 2: Enemy Dealing Stratagems
　　第二套 敵戰(zhàn)計
　　第七計 無中生有
　　creating something out of nothing
　　
　　▌原文
　　誑也，非誑也，實其所誑也。少陰，太陰，太陽。
　　▌英文注釋
　　You use the same feint twice. Having reacted to the first and often the second feint as well, the enemy will be hesitant to react to a third feint. Therefore the third feint is the actual attack catching your enemy with his guard down.
　　第八計 暗渡陳倉
　　advancing secretly by an unknown path
　　
　　▌原文
　　示之以動，利其靜而有主，“益動而巽”。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Deceive the enemy with an obvious approach that will take a very long time, while surprising him by taking a shortcut and sneak up to him. As the enemy concentrates on the decoy, he will miss you sneaking up to him.
　　第九計 隔岸觀火
　　watching a fire from the other side of the river
　　
　　▌原文
　　陽乖序亂，陰以待逆。暴戾恣睢，其勢自斃。順以動豫，豫順以動。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Delay entering the field of battle until all the other players have become exhausted fighting amongst themselves. Then go in at full strength and pick up the pieces.
　　第十計 笑里藏刀
　　covering the dagger with a smile
　　
　　▌原文
　　信而安之，陰以圖之。備而后動，勿使有變。剛中柔外也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Charm and ingratiate yourself with your enemy. When you have gained his trust, move against him in secret.
　　第十一計 李代桃僵
　　palming off substitute for the real thing
　　
　　▌原文
　　勢必有損，損陰以益陽。
　　▌英文注釋
　　There are circumstances in which you must sacrifice short-term objectives in order to gain the long-term goal. This is the scapegoat strategy whereby someone else suffers the consequences so that the rest do not.
　　第十二計 順手牽羊
　　picking up something in passing
　　
　　▌原文
　　微隙在所必乘，微利在所必得。少陰，少陽。
　　▌英文注釋
　　While carrying out your plans be flexible enough to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself, however small, and avail yourself of any profit, however slight.
　　Chapter 3: Attacking Stratagems
　　第三套：攻戰(zhàn)計
　　第十三計 打草驚蛇
　　beating the grass to frighten the snake
　　
　　▌原文
　　疑以叩實，察而后動。復者，陰之媒也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Do something unaimed, but spectacular ("hitting the grass") to provoke a response of the enemy ("startle the snake"), thereby giving away his plans or position, or just taunt him.
　　Do something unusual, strange, and unexpected as this will arouse the enemy's suspicion and disrupt his thinking.
　　More widely used as "[Do not] startle the snake by hitting the grass". An imprudent act will give your position or intentions away to the enemy.
　　第十四計 借尸還魂
　　resurrecting a dead soul by borrowing a corpse
　　
　　▌原文
　　有用者，不可借；不能用者，求借。借不能用者而用之。匪我求童蒙，童蒙求我。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Take an institution, a technology, a method, or even an ideology that has been forgotten or discarded and appropriate it for your own purpose.
　　Revive something from the past by giving it a new purpose or bring to life old ideas, customs, or traditions and reinterpret them to fit your purposes.
　　第十五計 調(diào)虎離山
　　luring the tiger out of his den
　　
　　▌原文
　　待天以困之，用人以誘之，往蹇來返。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Never directly attack an opponent whose advantage is derived from its position. Instead lure him away from his position thus separating him from his source of strength.
　　第十六計 欲擒故縱
　　letting the enemy off in order to catch him
　　
　　▌原文
　　逼則反兵，走則減勢。緊隨勿迫，累其氣力，消其斗志，散而后擒，兵不血刃。需，有孚，光。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Cornered prey will often mount a final desperate attack. To prevent this you let the enemy believe he still has a chance for freedom.
　　His will to fight is thus dampened by his desire to escape. When in the end the freedom is proven a falsehood the enemy's morale will be defeated and he will surrender without a fight.
　　第十七計 拋磚引玉
　　giving the enemy something to induce him to lose more valuable things
　　
　　▌原文
　　類以誘之，擊蒙也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Bait someone by making him believe he gains something or just make him react to it ("toss out a brick") and obtain something valuable from him in return ("get a jade gem").
　　第十八計 擒賊擒王
　　capturing the ringleader first in order to capture all the followers
　　
　　▌原文
　　摧其堅，奪其魁，以解其體。龍戰(zhàn)于野，其道窮也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　If the enemy's army is strong but is allied to the commander only by money, superstition or threats, then take aim at the leader.
　　If the commander falls the rest of the army will disperse or come over to your side.
　　If, however, they are allied to the leader through loyalty then beware, the army can continue to fight on after his death out of vengeance.
　　Chapter 4: Chaos Stratagems
　　第四套：混戰(zhàn)計
　　第十九計 釜底抽薪
　　extracting the firewood from under the cauldron
　　
　　▌原文
　　不敵其力，而消其勢，兌下乾上之象。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Take out the leading argument or asset of someone; "steal someone's thunder". This is the very essence of indirect approach: instead of attacking enemy's fighting forces, the attacks are directed against his ability to wage war.
　　第二十計 混水摸魚
　　muddling the water to catch the fish; fishing in troubled waters
　　
　　▌原文
　　乘其陰亂，利其弱而無主。隨，以向晦入宴息。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Create confusion and use this confusion to further your own goals.
　　第二十一計 金蟬脫殼
　　slipping away by casting off a cloak; getting away like the cicada sloughing its skin
　　
　　▌原文
　　存其形，完其勢；友不疑，敵不動。巽而止蠱。
　　▌英文注釋

　　This strategy is mainly used to escape from enemy of superior strength.
　　第二十二計 關(guān)門捉賊
　　catching the thief by closing / blocking his escape route
　　
　　▌原文
　　小敵困之。剝，不利有攸往。
　　▌英文注釋
　　To capture your enemy, or more generally in fighting wars, to deliver the final blow to your enemy, you must plan prudently if you want to succeed. Do not rush into action. Before you "move in for the kill", first cut off your enemy's escape routes, and cut off any routes through which outside help can reach them.
　　第二十三計 遠交近攻
　　befriending the distant enemy while attacking a nearby enemy
　　
　　▌原文
　　形禁勢格，利從近取，害以遠隔。上火下澤。
　　▌英文注釋
　　It is known that nations that border each other become enemies while nations separated by distance and obstacles make better allies.
　　When you are the strongest in one field, your greatest threat is from the second strongest in your field, not the strongest from another field.
　　第二十四計 假途伐虢
　　attacking the enemy by passing through a common neighbor
　　
　　▌原文
　　兩大之間，敵脅以從，我假以勢。困，有言不信。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Borrow the resources of an ally to attack a common enemy. Once the enemy is defeated, use those resources to turn on the ally that lent you them in the first place.
　　Chapter 5: Proximate Stratagems
　　第五套：并戰(zhàn)計
　　第二十五計 偷梁換柱
　　stealing the beams and pillars and replacing them with rotten timbers
　　
　　▌原文
　　頻更其陣，抽其勁旅，待其自敗，而后乘之。曳其輪也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Disrupt the enemy's formations, interfere with their methods of operations, change the rules in which they are used to following, go contrary to their standard training.
　　In this way you remove the supporting pillar, the common link that makes a group of men an effective fighting force.
　　第二十六計 指桑罵槐
　　reviling/abusing the locust tree while pointing to the mulberry
　　
　　▌原文
　　大凌小者，警以誘之。剛中而應，行險而順。

　　Hide behind the mask of a fool, a drunk, or a madman to create confusion about your intentions and motivations. Lure your opponent into underestimating your ability until, overconfident, he drops his guard. Then you may attack.
　　第二十八計 上屋抽梯
　　removing the ladder after the enemy has climbed up the roof
　　
　　▌原文
　　假之以便，唆之使前，斷其援應，陷之死地。遇毒，位不當也。

　　▌原文
　　借局布勢，力小勢大。鴻漸于陸，其羽可以為儀也。

　　第三十計 反客為主
　　turning from the guest into the host
　　
　　▌原文
　　乘隙插足，扼其主機，漸之進也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Usurp leadership in a situation where you are normally subordinate. Infiltrate your target. Initially, pretend to be a guest to be accepted, but develop from inside and become the owner later.
　　Chapter 6: Desperate Stratagems
　　第六套：敗戰(zhàn)計
　　第三十一計 美人計
　　using seductive women to corrupt the enemy
　　
　　▌原文
　　兵強者，攻其將；將智者，伐其情。將弱兵頹，其勢自萎。利用御寇，順相保也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Send your enemy beautiful women to cause discord within his camp. This strategy can work on three levels.
　　First, the ruler becomes so enamoured with the beauty that he neglects his duties and allows his vigilance to wane.
　　Second, other males at court will begin to display aggressive behaviour that inflames minor differences hindering co-operation and destroying morale.
　　Third, other females at court, motivated by jealousy and envy, begin to plot intrigues further exacerbating the situation.
　　第三十二計 空城計
　　presenting a bold front to conceal unpreparedness
　　
　　▌原文
　　虛者虛之，疑中生疑。剛?cè)嶂H，奇而復奇。
　　▌英文注釋
　　When the enemy is superior in numbers and your situation is such that you expect to be overrun at any moment, then drop all pretense of military preparedness, act calmly and taunt the enemy, so that the enemy will think you have a huge ambush hidden for them.
　　It works best by acting calm and at ease when your enemy expects you to be tense.
　　第三十三計 反間計
　　sowing discord among the enemy
　　
　　▌原文
　　疑中之疑。比之自內(nèi)，不自失也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Undermine your enemy's ability to fight by secretly causing discord between him and his friends, allies, advisors, family, commanders, soldiers, and population. While he is preoccupied settling internal disputes, his ability to attack or defend is compromised.
　　第三十四計 苦肉計
　　deceiving the enemy by torturing one's own man
　　
　　▌原文
　　人不自害，受害必真。假真真假，間以得行。童蒙之吉，順以巽也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　Pretending to be injured has two possible applications. In the first, the enemy is lulled into relaxing his guard since he no longer considers you to be an immediate threat.
　　The second is a way of ingratiating yourself to your enemy by pretending the injury was caused by a mutual enemy.
　　第三十五計 連環(huán)計
　　coordinating one stratagem with another
　　
　　▌原文
　　將多兵眾，不可以敵，使其自累，以殺其勢。在師中吉，承天寵也。
　　▌英文注釋
　　In important matters, one should use several stratagems applied simultaneously after another as in a chain of stratagems. Keep different plans operating in an overall scheme; however, in this manner if any one strategy fails, then the chain breaks and the whole scheme fails.

　　decamping being the best; running away as the best choice
