【#文质彬彬每日好词语# | 兵贵神速】用兵打仗贵在行动特别迅速。作战取胜的关键，在于主动权的把握。而主动权的把握，可归结为对时机的掌控，因为战况瞬息万变，战机稍纵即逝，故军队动作一定要快，以确保作战行动的突然性和成功率。否则，主动权便有可能转到敌方手里。如果战事拖久，不仅会节外生枝，还会造成士气低落、战斗力下降甚至陷于被动。此语还用于激励人们做事情一定要果断迅速。其中不仅包含中华兵学智慧，也深蕴一切过程皆依时间展开这一哲理。

The key to winning a war is to act speedily. And the key to victory in warfare lies in seizing the initiative. Seizing the initiative means seizing the opportunity, because war situations change rapidly and opportunities to fight come and go instantly. So the army must act quickly to ensure the suddenness and success rate of combat operations. Otherwise, the initiative may easily fall into the enemy's hands. If the war is prolonged, not only will there be unexpected consequences, but there will also be lowering of the army's morale, leading to less effective combat and even falling into passivity. This concept is also used to motivate people to do things decisively and quickly. It not only embodies the wisdom of Chinese military science, but also the philosophy that all procedures unfold according to time.

引例：兵之情主速。乘人之不及，由不虞之道，攻其所不戒也。（《孙子·九地》）（用兵作战的原则就是要快。乘敌人措手不及时动手，走敌人意料不到的道路，攻击敌人没有戒备的地方。）

The nature of warfare lies in speed. It is essential to take advantage of the enemy being unprepared, taking routes it does not expect, and attacking places it has left unguarded. (The Art of War)
