论《战国策》的“策士”形象

The Schemers in Intrigues of The Warring States

《战国策》不仅是一部历史著作,还是一部优秀的散文集,刻画了众多的人物形象,其中,尤为引人注目的是"策士"的形象。本文把《战国策》中的"策士"分为四类:长于图谋策划、运筹帷幄的"谋士";善于奔走游说、应对辩难的"辨士";爱替人"排难解纷",有"高行义节"的"义士";不惜舍命而报主的"壮士"、"勇士"。这些"策士"在《战国策》中纵横捭阖,展现出了精彩纷呈的人生,读后让人回味再三。

Intrigues of the Warring States is not only a political book but also a great collection of essays. In this book, the author depicts various characters, and among them the schemers arethe most conspicuous. The schemers are divided into four groups in this book. the first are the counselors who are good at giving advice and devising strategies; the second are disputers who have excellent rhetoric skills; the third are high-minded,chivalrous and helpful people; the last are warriors, and they are ready to sacrifice their lives for their masters. These schemers manoeuvre among different political groupings and live colorful lives and they leave many things for us to think about after reading.
