Chapter 69
第六十九章
A master of the art of war has said, 'I do not dare to be the host (to commence the war); I prefer to be the guest (to act on the defensive).
用兵有言：“吾不敢為主，而為客；
I do not dare to advance an inch; I prefer to retire a foot.'
不敢進(jìn)寸，而退尺?！?/div>
This is called marshalling the ranks where there are no ranks; baring the arms (to fight) where there are no arms to bare;
是謂行無(wú)行；攘無(wú)臂；
grasping the weapon where there is no weapon to grasp; advancing against the enemy where there is no enemy.
扔無(wú)敵；執(zhí)無(wú)兵。
There is no calamity greater than lightly engaging in war.
禍莫大于輕敵，
To do that is near losing (the gentleness) which is so precious.
輕敵幾喪吾寶。
Thus it is that when opposing weapons are (actually) crossed, he who deplores (the situation) conquers.
故抗兵相若，哀者勝矣。
