Quotes from The Legend of Bruce Lee:
“我们不能总想着胜与败,因为那样会使我们的身体僵硬。搏斗的时候,讲究的是万念俱空,这才是战胜敌人的秘诀。”
Wǒmen bùnéng zǒng xiǎng zhe shèng yǔ bài, yīnwèi nàyàng huì shǐ wǒmen de shēntǐ jiāngyìng. Bódòu de shíhou, jiǎngjiū de shì wànniànjùkōng, zhè cáishì zhànshèng dírén de mìjué.
We can not always think about victory and defeat, because doing so will make our body 僵硬(jiāngyìng) rigid. 搏斗(bódòu) When fighting, nothing should enter your mind---this is the secret to defeat the 敌人(dírén) enemy.
“你的眼睛一定要长在对方的心里,你一定要感受到对手的心在想什么。” Nǐde yǎnjing yídìng yào zhǎng zài duìfāng de xīnlǐ, nǐ yídìng yào gǎnshòu dào duìshǒu de xīn zài xiǎng shénme.
Your eyes must be in your opponent's heart, and you have to feel what's in the opponent's mind.
