文质彬彬·每日好词语｜狭路相逢勇者胜

　　狭路相逢勇者胜

　　在狭窄的路上相遇，勇猛的一方能获胜。这是战国时期赵国名将赵奢提出的军事思想，意思是在与敌遭遇而无可避让的情况下，必须焕发战斗精神、必胜意志和大无畏的气概；而这种精神状态和气势往往是获得胜利的先决条件。其基本原理与“夫战，勇气也”相通。这也是应对其他任何困难或严峻形势时所应遵循的基本要领。

　　When Confronting the Opponent on a Narrow Path, the Boldest Will Prevail

　　If two people or armies cross paths on a narrow road, the boldest will prevail. This was part of the military thinking of Zhao She, a well-known general of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period. He meant that if one meets the enemy and cannot avoid a confrontation, one must rouse one's fighting spirit, courage and resolve to win, and that this is actually what makes victory possible. The term has the similar meaning to the expression "fighting is based on courage." The spirit also applies to other periods of difficulty or hardship.

　　引例 （赵）奢对曰：“其道远险狭，譬之犹两鼠斗于穴中，将勇者胜。”（《史记·廉颇蔺相如列传》）（赵奢回答说：“道路遥远，地形险峻狭窄，就像是两只老鼠在洞里争斗，哪方勇猛哪方就会获胜。”）

　　Zhao She said, "The path ahead is long, steep and narrow. Like two mice fighting in a burrow, the bravest will win." (Records of the Historian)
