歌訣十七、接單補雙法

莫說兩手仗堅兵，
一來一往是其能。
閉住右手左無用，
雙手齊來更無功。

"Let's say an assailant attacks with a weapon in both hands,
All he can do is send one hand in while the other goes back.
Shut down one hand and his other hand become useless,
If comes in with both hands then he has nothing at all"

Translation by Andrea Falk in A Shadow of Fallen Blosoms
