文质彬彬·每日好词语 | 兵以义动

　　兵以义动

　　为了道义而出兵。犹今之所言“为正义而战”。中国人自古崇尚“义兵”“义师”，即为了维护“义”而发动的战争。所谓“义”，就是禁止暴力，为民除害。战争虽然是暴力行动，但它不应该是主动施暴的行动，而是为了反抗、制止施暴而采取的暴力行动。它体现了中国人坚守道义和仁爱的精神。

　　Fight for a Righteous Cause

　　This term means sending an army to fight a just war, similar to the present idea of "fighting for righteousness". Since ancient times, the Chinese people have held high esteem for an army sent to war for the sake of justice. Here yi means stopping any aggressive act of violence, and eliminating the suffering of the people. War is an act of violence, and no one should initiate a war. Instead, war is a last resort to resist and prevent any violence inflicted on the people. The term demonstrates the ideals of justice and benevolence upheld by the Chinese nation.

　　引例 今兵以义动，持疑而不进，失天下之望。（《三国志·魏书·武帝纪》）（如今我们是为了道义而出兵，要是因迟疑而不主动进兵，会让天下的人失望。）

　　Now we launch an army to fight for a righteous cause. If we hesitate and do not take actions right away, we will disappoint the whole nation. (The History of the Three Kingdoms)
