\"见势打势\" \"借势打势\" taking advantage your opponent's momentum to attack Explanation: The first reference, below, has concrete examples and the baidu entry for 借势打势 seems helpful, too: "借势打势 means giving prompt and precise attack by taking advantage of an opponent’s posture and strength” Ordinarily, of course, 见势 and 借势 can be equated with 乘势 “seize an opportunity." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 days (2009-06-29 11:00:43 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Correction: "taking advantage of your opponent's momentum to attack." Sorry about that. Reference: http://www.21wulin.com/wulin/wuxue/tanwulundao/3857.html Reference: http://baike.baidu.com/view/249964.html?fromTaglist |
