Chapter II
The On‑Guard Position

第二章
警戒式

A Perfect Stance
完美的架构

A stance too narrow provides you speed,
架构过窄，固然迅捷，

But leaves you imbalance which you don’t need.
却易令你失衡，此弊当避。

A stance too wide gives you power,
架构过宽，可增力量，

But you’ll soon learn you’re a bit slower.
但与之伴随的，是动作迟滞。

There must be a stance that you can use
必有一种架构，可以依凭，

To keep you in balance and to refine.
令你身势均衡，日趋精纯。

The perfect stance that will not confuse
至善之构，勿使人无措，

Is the on‑guard position which does not confine.
便是舒适无拘的警戒站姿。

You can maneuver with ease of motion
你可以全向自在移动、随心进退，

As you are free from any notion.
不再被固有的成见所桎梏。
