得道多助,失道寡助,出自《孟子·公孙丑下》。道即道义、正义(morality and justice)。中国人自古推崇道义,认为道义是决定战争或事业成败的根本力量。
得道多助,失道寡助意思是只有奉行道义,才能赢得内部的团结一致、赢得民心(only by upholding justice can one achieve internal unity and popular support);否则就将不得人心,从而陷入孤立无援的境地(otherwise, popular support is lost and the ruler or leader becomes isolated and helpless)。
这句话可以翻译为A just cause enjoys abundant support while an unjust cause finds little support。
例句:
得道多助,你本应明白这个道理,我对你很失望。
You should have understood that a just cause enjoys abundant support. Im very disappointed in you.
