Step 1 : Introduction to the question "3. "He fights, and runs away, perhaps occupies and another day of fight." English to Chinese to English"
...1. So close, you can taste it. 2. He who fights and runs away, may live to fight another day. 3. You are never too old to learn. 4. Revenge is a dish best served cold. I found two versions of the origin of "He who fights.."; the first attributed to the Greek statesman (and soldier) Demosthenes, who allegedly said, "The man who runs away may fight again" after being criticized for deserting the battlefield during the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 B.C. A more common version is the quote by author/poet Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774), who stated: "For he that fights and runs away, may live to fight another day, but he, who is in battle slain, can never rise and fight again."
