故经之以五事,校之以计,而索其情:一曰道,二曰天,三曰地,四曰将,五曰法。



Theartofwar,then,isgovernedbyfiveconstantfactors,tobetakenintoaccountinone''sdeliberations,whenseekingtodeterminetheconditionsobtaininginthefield.



Theseare:(1)TheMoralLaw;(2)Heaven;(3)Earth;(4)TheCommander;(5)Methodanddiscipline.



道者,令民于上同意,可与之死,可与之生,而不危也;



TheMoralLawcausesthepeopletobeincompleteaccordwiththeirruler,sothattheywillfollowhimregardlessoftheirlives,undismayedbyanydanger.



天者,阴阳、寒暑、时制也;



Heavensignifiesnightandday,coldandheat,timesandseasons.



地者,远近、险易、广狭、死生也;



Earthcomprisesdistances,greatandsmall;dangerandsecurity;opengroundandnarrowpasses;thechancesoflifeanddeath.

凡此五者,将莫不闻,知之者胜,不知之者不胜。



Thesefiveheadsshouldbefamiliartoeverygeneral:hewhoknowsthemwillbevictorious;hewhoknowsthemnotwillfail.



故校之以计,而索其情,曰:主孰有道?



Therefore,inyourdeliberations,whenseekingtodeterminethemilitaryconditions,letthembemadethebasisofacomparison,inthiswise:--



将孰有能?天地孰得?法令孰行?兵众孰强?士卒孰练?赏罚孰明?吾以此知胜负矣。

故能而示之不能,用而示之不用,近而示之远,远而示之近。



Hence,whenabletoattack,wemustseemunable;whenusingourforces,wemustseeminactive;whenwearenear,wemustmaketheenemybelievewearefaraway;whenfaraway,wemustmakehimbelievewearenear.

攻其无备,出其不意。

此兵家之胜,不可先传也。



Thesemilitarydevices,leadingtovictory,mustnotbedivulgedbeforehand.



夫未战而庙算胜者,得算多也;未战而庙算不胜者,得算少也。多算胜少算,而况于无算乎!吾以此观之,胜负见矣。

作战第二



II.WagingWar



孙子曰:凡用兵之法,驰车千驷,革车千乘,带甲十万,千里馈粮。则内外之费,宾客之用,胶



漆之材,车甲之奉,日费千金,然后十万之师举矣。



SunTzusaid:Intheoperationsofwar,wherethereareinthefieldathousandswiftchariots,asmanyheavychariots,andahundredthousandmail-cladsoldiers,withprovisionsenoughtocarrythemathousandli,theexpenditureathomeandatthefront,includingentertainmentofguests,smallitemssuchasglueandpaint,andsumsspentonchariotsandarmor,willreachthetotalofathousandouncesofsilverperday.Suchisthecostofraisinganarmyof100,000men.



其用战也,胜久则钝兵挫锐,攻城则力屈,



Whenyouengageinactualfighting,ifvictoryislongincoming,thenmen''sweaponswillgrowdullandtheirardorwillbedamped.Ifyoulaysiegetoatown,youwillexhaustyourstrength.



久暴师则国用不足。



Again,ifthecampaignisprotracted,theresourcesoftheStatewillnotbeequaltothestrain.



夫钝兵挫锐,屈力殚货,则诸侯乘其弊而起,虽有智者不能善其后矣。

故兵闻拙速,未睹巧之久也。



Thus,thoughwehaveheardofstupidhasteinwar,clevernesshasneverbeenseenassociatedwithlongdelays.



夫兵久而国利者,未之有也。



Thereisnoinstanceofacountryhavingbenefitedfromprolongedwarfare.



故不尽知用兵之害者,则不能尽知用兵之利也。



Itisonlyonewhoisthoroughlyacquaintedwiththeevilsofwarthatcanthoroughlyunderstandtheprofitablewayofcarryingiton.



善用兵者,役不再籍,粮不三载,
