為達標而擬的方案
把將軍布陣的那套思路從戰場搬到生活與工作裡：你心裡有個要攻下的目標，於是事先排好一連串動作去拿下它。戰場換成了市場、考試、談判，但「事前排兵、為了贏」的骨架沒變。
a plan of action · noun · B2
A planned set of actions you decide on in order to reach a goal.
策略、對策
核心畫面
You can picture strategy as a general standing over a map of the battlefield, deciding before the fighting starts where each army will move so the whole campaign works out. The word still carries that high-up, before-the-action planning: not the small move you make in the moment, but the big shape you lay out in advance to win.

可以把 strategy 想成一位將軍站在戰場地圖前，在開打之前就先決定哪一支軍隊往哪裡走，好讓整場戰役順利收場。這個字到今天都還帶著那種「居高臨下、事前布局」的味道：重點不是當下的一個小動作，而是你為了贏，事先擺出來的那盤大棋。From the word’s history
From Greek 'stratēgia', the office or art of the 'stratēgos' (army leader / general) — literally generalship. The military planning sense is the original; the modern 'plan to reach any goal' sense grew out of it.
源自希臘文 'stratēgia'，意思是「將領之職、將領之術」，也就是『統帥用兵的本領』。軍事布局是這個字最早的意思，後來才從戰場擴大到『為達成任何目標而做的整體規劃』。

謀劃這件事本身
再往抽象退一步：不指某一份計畫，而指「會精打細算地布局」這種本事或活動本身。將軍之所以是將軍，靠的就是這種能力——這裡講的就是那份能力，而不是某一場仗的打法。
