“得道多助，失道寡助”，出自《孟子·公孫丑下》。“道”即道義、正義（morality and justice）。中國人自古推崇道義，認為道義是決定戰(zhàn)爭或事業(yè)成敗的根本力量。

“得道多助，失道寡助”意思是“只有奉行道義，才能贏得內(nèi)部的團結(jié)一致、贏得民心（only by upholding justice can one achieve internal unity and popular support）；否則就將不得人心，從而陷入孤立無援的境地（otherwise, popular support is lost and the ruler or leader becomes isolated and helpless）。

這句話可以翻譯為“A just cause enjoys abundant support while an unjust cause finds little support”。

例句：

得道多助，你本應(yīng)明白這個道理，我對你很失望。
You should have understood that a just cause enjoys abundant support. I'm very disappointed in you.
