尼可罗·马基雅维利:君主论·摘录 70
尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 领导 · 人性
Turning now to the opposite characters of Commodus, Severus, Antoninus Caracalla, and Maximinus, you will find them all cruel and rapacious-men who, to satisfy their soldiers, did not hesitate to commit every kind of iniquity against the people; and all, except Severus, came to a bad end; but in Severus there was so much valour that, keeping the soldiers friendly, although the people were oppressed by him, he reigned successfully; for his valour made him so much admired in the sight of the soldiers and people that the latter were kept in a way astonished and awed and the former respectful and satisfied. And because the actions of this man, as a new prince, were great, I wish to show briefly that he knew well how to counterfeit the fox and the lion, which natures, as I said above, it is necessary for a prince to imitate.

白话
马基雅维利转向反面例子:康茂德、塞维鲁、卡拉卡拉和马克西米努斯都残酷贪婪,为满足士兵而压迫民众,除塞维鲁外都不得善终。塞维鲁之所以成功,是因为他极具勇武,既让士兵满意,又让民众敬畏。他的勇武使他受到士兵和民众的钦佩,民众被震慑,士兵则恭敬满足。马基雅维利认为,塞维鲁作为新君主,懂得效仿狐狸和狮子,即既狡猾又勇敢。
上下文
出自《君主论》,马基雅维利分析塞维鲁的成功,强调君主需兼具狐狸的狡猾和狮子的勇猛。

在复杂环境中,你更偏向只用一种策略,还是能灵活结合狡猾与强硬?
