Sun Tzu,who lived in China during the Spring and Autumn Period,is regarded as the ultimate master of war.

春秋时期的中国，孙子被誉为兵圣。

His great military work,The Art of War,has been read for more than 2,000 years.

他写了一部流传了 2000 多年的军事论著—《孙子兵法》。

Sun Tzu believed that competition between economies and logistics is the nature of war.

孙子主张战争制胜的本质是经济和后勤上的较量。

Only if the nation is prosperous and its people are strong enough will they win the war,otherwise the war will bring huge damages to the nation and people.

国富民强才能取得战争的胜利，否则会给本国人民带来巨大的伤害。

Gathering information on your enemies is the key to winning wars.

战争制胜的关键是要收集敌军的信息。

The victorious general must be familiar with his enemies just as with himself and direct troops according to the newest situation.

要像熟悉自己一样熟悉敌人，随时根据敌人的行动改变作战部署。

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without force.

战争制胜的最高境界是不战而屈人之兵。

His spirit reminds us that peace is the common objective we should pursue.

现在，孙子的思想依然提醒着我们，和平才是人类的共同目标。
