ing an enemy that is already defeated。
14。 Hence the skillful fighter puts himself into a position which makes defeat impossible; and does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy。
15。 Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won; whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory。
16。 The consummate leader cultivates the moral law; and strictly adheres to method and discipline; thus it is in his power to control success。
17。 In respect of military method; we have; firstly; Measurement; secondly; Estimation of quantity; thirdly; Calculation; fourthly; Balancing of chances; fifthly; Victory。
18。 Measurement owes its existence to Earth; Estimation of quantity to Measurement; Calculation to Estimation of quantity; Balancing of chances to Calculation; and Victory to Balancing of chances。
19。 A victorious army opposed to a routed one; is as a pound's weight placed in the scale against a single grain。
20。 The onrush of a conquering force is like the bursting of pent…up waters into a chasm a thousand fathoms deep。

05《孫子兵法》勢篇第五
孫子曰:凡治眾如治寡,分數是也﹔鬥眾如鬥寡,形名是也﹔三軍之眾,可使必受敵而無敗,奇正是也﹔兵之所加,如以碫投卵者,虛實是也。
凡戰者,以正合,以奇勝。故善出奇者,無窮如天地,不竭如江河。終而復始,日月是也。死而復生,四時是也。聲不過五,五聲之變,不可勝聽也。色不過五,五色之變,不可勝觀也。味不過五,五味之變,不可勝嘗也。戰勢不過奇正,奇正之變,不可勝窮之也。奇正相生,如環之無端,孰能窮之?
激水之疾,至于漂石者,勢也﹔鷙鳥之疾,至于毀折者,節也。是故善戰者,其勢險,其節短。勢如張弩,節如發機。
紛紛紜紜,鬥亂而不可亂也。渾渾沌沌,形圓而不可敗也。
亂生于治,怯生于勇,弱生于強。治亂,數也﹔勇怯,勢也﹔強弱,形也。
故善動敵者,形之,敵必從之﹔予之,敵必取之。以利動之,以卒動之。
故善戰者,求之于勢,不責于人,故能擇人而任勢。任勢者,其戰人也,如轉木石。木石之性,安則靜,危則動,方則止,圓則行。故善戰人之勢,如轉圓石于千仞之山者,勢也。
V。 ENERGY
1。 Sun Tzu said: The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers。
2。 Fighting with a large army under your mand is nowise different from fighting with a small one: it is merely a question of instituting signs and signals。
3。 To ensure that your whole host may withstand the brunt of the enemy's attack and remain unshaken this is affected by maneuvers direct and indirect。
4。 That the impact of your army may be like a grindstone dashed against an egg。 This is effected by the science of weak points and strong。
5。 In all fighting; the direct method may be used for joining battle; but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory。
6。 Indirect tactics; efficiently applied; are inexhaustible as Heaven and Earth; unending as the flow of rivers and streams; like the sun and moon; they end but to begin anew; like the four seasons; they pass away to return once more。
7。 There are not more than five musical notes; yet the binations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard。
8。 There are not more than five primary colors (blue; yellow; red; white; and black); yet in bination they produce more hues than can ever been seen。
9。 There are not more than five cardinal tastes (sour; acrid; salt; sweet; bitter); yet binations of them yield more flavors than can ever be tasted。
10。 In battle; there are not more than two methods of attack; the direct and the indirect; yet these two in bination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers。
11。 The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn。 It is like moving in a circle。 You never e to an end。 Who can exhaust the possibilities of their bination?
12。 The onset of troops is like the rush of a torrent which will even roll stones along in its course。
13。 The quality of decision is like the well…timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim。
14。 Therefore the good fighter will be terrible in his onset; and prompt in his decision。
15。 Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow; decision; to the releasing of a trigger。
16。 Amid the turmoil and tumult of battle; there may be seeming disorder and yet no real disorder at all; amid confusion and chaos; your array may be without head or tail; yet it will be proof against defeat。
17。 Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength。
18。 Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder is simply a question of subdivision; concealing courage under a show of timidity presupposes a fund of latent energy; masking strength with weakness is to be effected by tactical dispositions。
19。 Thus one who is skillful at keeping the enemy on the move maintains deceitful appearances; according to which the enemy will act。 He sacrifices something that the enemy may snatch at it。
20。 By holding out baits; he keeps him on the march; then with a body of picked men he lies in wait for him。
21。 The clever batant looks to the effect of bined energy; and does not require too much from individuals。 Hence his ability to pick out the right men and utilize bined energy。
22。 When he utilizes bined energy; his fighting men bee as it were like unto rolling logs or stones。 For it is the nature of a log or stone to remain motionless on level ground; and to move when on a slope; if four…cornered; to e to a standstill; but if round…shaped; to go rolling down。
23。 Thus the energy developed by good fighting men is as the momentum of a round stone rolled down a mountain thousands of feet in height。 So much on the subject of energy。

06《孫子兵法》虛實篇第六
孫子曰:凡先處戰地而待敵者佚,後處戰地而趨戰者勞。故善戰者,致人而不致于人。
能使敵自至者,利之也﹔能使敵不得至者,害之也。故敵佚能勞之,飽能铮材軇又
出其所不趨,趨其所不意。行千里而不勞者,行于無人之地也。攻而必取者,攻其所不守也。守而必固者,守其所不攻也。
故善攻者,敵不知其所守。善守者,敵不知其所攻。
微乎微乎,至于無形,神乎神乎,至于無聲,故能為敵之司命。
進而不可御者,沖其虛也﹔退而不可追者,速而不可及也。故我欲戰,敵雖高壘深溝,不得不與我戰者,攻其所必救也﹔我不欲戰,雖畫地而守之,敵不得與我戰者,乖其所之也。
故形人而我無形,則我專而敵分﹔我專為一,敵分為十,是以十攻其一也,則我眾而敵寡﹔能以眾擊寡者,則吾之所與戰者,約矣。吾所與戰之地不可知,不可知,則敵所備者多,敵所備者多,則吾之所戰者,寡矣。
故備前則後寡,備後則前寡,故備左則右寡,備右則左寡,無所不備,則無所不寡。寡者備人者也,眾者使人備己者也。
故知戰之地,知戰之日,則可千里而會戰。不知戰之地,不知戰之日,則左不能救右,右不能救左,前不能救後,後不能救前,而況遠者數十里,近者數里乎?
以吾度之,越人之兵雖多,亦奚益于勝敗哉?!
故曰:勝可為也。敵雖眾,可使無鬥。
故策之而知得失之計,作之而知動靜之理,形之而知死生之地,角之而知有餘不足之處。
故形兵之極,至于無形﹔無形,則深間不能窺,智者不能帧
因形而錯勝于眾,眾不能知﹔人皆知我所以勝之形,而莫知吾所以制勝之形。故其戰勝不復,而應形于無窮。
夫兵形象水,水之形避高而趨下,兵之形,避實而擊虛,水因地而制流,兵應敵而制勝。故兵無常勢,水無常形,能因敵變化而取勝者,謂之神。
故五行無常勝,四時無常位,日有短長,月有死生。
VI。 WEAK POINTS AND STRONG
1。 Sun Tzu said: Whoever is first in the field and awaits the ing of the enemy; will be fresh for the fight; whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted。
2。 Therefore the clever batant imposes his will on the enemy; but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him。
3。 By holding out advantages to him; he can cause the enemy to approach of his own accord; or; by inflicting damage; he can make it impossible for the enemy to draw near。
4。 If the enemy is taking his ease; he can harass him; if well supplied with food; he can starve him out; if quietly encamped; he can force him to move。
5。 Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected。
6。 An army may march great distances without distress; if it marches through country where the enemy is not。
