美剧里的《孙子兵法》
《孙子兵法》(The Art of War)这部中国古典名著不只是兵法,还是商战和管理学的百科全书,其博大精深的道理在几千年后的现代社会依然有其勃勃的生机,连美剧都喜欢引用其中的名言警句。
比如,热门美剧《越狱》里,FBI探员Mahone就说过“知己知彼百战百胜” (Sun Tzu said that if you know your enemy, you need not fear 100 battles. I know these men, who they are, where they came from, where they want to go.)
其他的还有:
《超人新冒险》(Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman)
Lex Luthor: Sun Tzu was a general of ancient, Imperial China. He teaches us, I'm paraphrasing of course, that knowledge precedes victory; confusion precedes defeat.
《识骨追踪》(Bones)
Brennan: In 500 BC, Sun Tzu devotes attention to intelligence gathering in The Art of War. He argues that all wars are based on deception.
《欢乐合唱团》(Glee)
Kurt: Sun Tzu says in his Art of War to never let the enemy know you. Our greatest weapon could be the element of surprise.
