　　凡地有绝涧、天井、天牢、天罗、天陷、天隙，必亟去之，勿近也。

　　吾远之，敌近之；吾迎之，敌背之。

　　军旁有险阻、潢井、葭苇、林木、翳荟者，必谨覆索之，此伏奸之所处也。

　　这句啥意思：

　　凡遇到或通过“绝涧”、“天井”、“天牢”、“天罗”、“天陷”、“天隙”这几种地形，必须迅速离开，不要接近。

　　我们应该远离这些地形，而让敌人去靠近它；我们应面向这些地形，而让敌人去背靠它。

　　军队两旁遇到有险峻的隘路、湖沼、水网、芦苇、山林和草木茂盛的地方，必须谨慎地反复搜索，这些都是敌人可能埋设伏兵和隐伏奸细的地方。

　　英文这么说：

　　Country in which there are precipitous cliffs with torrents¹ running between, deep natural hollows,confined places, tangled² thickets³, quagmires⁴ and crevasses,should be left with all possible speed and not approached.

　　While we keep away from such places, we should get the enemy to approach them; while we face them,we should let the enemy have them on his rear.

　　If in the neighborhood of your camp there should be any hilly country, ponds surrounded by aquatic⁵ grass,hollow basins filled with reeds, or woods with thick undergrowth, they must be carefully routed out and searched;for these are places where men in ambush⁶ or insidious⁷ spies are likely to be lurking⁸.

　　几种地形的白话分析

　　绝涧：溪谷深峻，水流其间；天井：类似于盆地； 天牢：高山环绕，易进难出；天罗：草深林密，难以出入；天陷：地势低洼，道路泥泞； 天隙：两山相向，涧道狭窄。
