❍ 可是，军事冒险主义者则坚决反对此种步骤，他们的主张是所谓“～”。(《毛泽东选集》187) But military adventurists stubbornly oppose such a step and advocate “engaging the enemy outside the gates”./今有御人于国门之外者，其交也以道， 其也以礼，斯可受御舆？《孟子·万章下》) Here now is one who stops and robs people outside the gate of the city. He offers his gift on a ground of reason,and does so in a manner according to propriety; would the reception of it so acquired by robbery be proper? 御敌于国门之外yù dí yú ɡuó mén zhī wài御：抵御，抵挡。在国境或控制区之外抵挡住敌人。fight against the enemy on the frontier, engage the enemy outside the gates |
