Chapter 1: Winning Stratagems
第一套 勝戰計
▌原文
備周則意怠；常見則不疑。陰在陽之內，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▌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▌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▌原文
困敵之勢，不以戰；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▌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▌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 敵戰計
▌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▌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▌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 笑裡藏刀▌原文
信而安之，陰以圖之。備而後動，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▌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▌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：攻戰計
▌原文
疑以叩實，察而後動。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.
▌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.
▌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▌原文
逼則反兵，走則減勢。緊隨勿迫，累其氣力，消其鬥志，散而後擒，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.
▌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▌原文
摧其堅，奪其魁，以解其體。龍戰於野，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.
Chapter 4: Chaos Stratagems
第四套：混戰計
▌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▌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▌原文
存其形，完其勢；友不疑，敵不動。巽而止蠱。
▌英文注釋
Mask yourself. Either leave one's distinctive traits behind, thus becoming inconspicuous, or masquerade as something or someone else.
▌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▌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.
▌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：並戰計
▌原文
頻更其陣，抽其勁旅，待其自敗，而後乘之。曳其輪也。
▌英文注釋

▌原文
大凌小者，警以誘之。剛中而應，行險而順。
▌英文注釋
To discipline, control, or warn others whose status or position excludes them from direct confrontation; use analogy and innuendo. Without directly naming names, those accused cannot retaliate without revealing their complicity.
第二十七計 假痴不癲▌原文
寧偽作不知不為，不偽作假知妄為。靜不露機，雲雷屯也。▌英文注釋
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▌原文
假之以便，唆之使前，斷其援應，陷之死地。遇毒，位不當也。▌英文注釋
With baits and deceptions, lure your enemy into treacherous terrain. Then cut off his lines of communication and avenue of escape. To save himself, he must fight both your own forces and the elements of nature.
第二十九計 樹上開花▌原文
借局布勢，力小勢大。鴻漸於陸，其羽可以為儀也。
▌英文注釋
Tying silk blossoms on a dead tree gives the illusion that the tree is healthy. Through the use of artifice and disguise, make something of no value appear valuable; of no threat appear dangerous; of no use appear useful.
第三十計 反客為主▌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：敗戰計
▌原文
兵強者，攻其將；將智者，伐其情。將弱兵頹，其勢自萎。利用禦寇，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.▌原文
虛者虛之，疑中生疑。剛柔之際，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.
▌原文
疑中之疑。比之自內，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▌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.
▌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.
第三十六計 走為上decamping being the best; running away as the best choice
▌原文
全師避敵。左次無咎，未失常也。
▌英文注釋
If it becomes obvious that your current course of action will lead to defeat, then retreat and regroup. When your side is losing, there are only three choices remaining: surrender, compromise, or escape.
親，終於來了哦！！！
