Disposition of Army-Sun Tzu

From World's Chinese Wiki

Disposition of Army - Sun Tzu

English: Thus, a victorious army is like a heavy-weight matched against a feather-weight. A defeated army is like a feather-weigh matched against a heavy-weight. The person adept in warfare is able to command and direct his troops to fight like accumulated gush of water streaming down mercilessly from thousands of feet high. Such is the disposition of a powerful and victorious army.

Modern: 所以，胜利的军队与失败的军队相比，就像用“镒”称“铢”那样占有绝对优势；失败的军队较之以胜利的军队，就像用“铢”称“镒”那样处于绝对劣势。军事实力强大的胜利者指挥军队作战，就像决开在八千尺高处的溪中积水那样，一种力量的表现。

Original: 故胜兵若以镒称铢，故败兵若以铢称镒。称胜者之战民也，若决积水于千仞之溪者，形也。
