In our second episode, we discuss the communication between different cultures. One way of distinguishing them is based on how specific the context is. But what do "high" and "low" really mean?

In this episode we are going to learn how to 【Introduce a friend】. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

兵法中分析战争胜负，有五个关键步骤：
看土地大小： 先要比较交战双方谁控制的土地更广阔。
算资源多少： 土地的大小，直接决定了哪一方能生产或获取的粮食、物资等资源更丰富。
计兵力规模： 资源是否丰富，又影响着能招募和供养的军队人数有多少。
比整体实力： 军队人数的多寡，是衡量双方整体军事实力谁强谁弱的关键基础。
定胜负结果： 最终，哪一方的整体军事实力更强，哪一方就赢得战争。
这五个步骤紧密相连，形成因果关系：
土地大小决定了资源多少。
资源多少决定了兵力规模。
兵力规模决定了整体实力的强弱。
整体实力的强弱对比，决定了最终的胜负结果。
因此，胜利的一方相对于失败的一方，实力优势极其巨大，就像用很重的“镒”去称量极轻的“铢”，完全不在一个等级上。反过来，失败的一方相对于胜利的一方，实力劣势非常明显，就像用很轻的“铢”去称量很重的“镒”。
当实力占绝对优势的一方指挥军队作战时，其威力就像万丈高山上的积水突然冲破堤坝，奔腾直下，势不可挡。这种由强大实力积蓄而成、一旦发动就不可阻挡的巨大威势，正是军事上制胜的关键所在。
