请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
《三十六计》(Thirty-Six Stratagems )是有关战术的古书。三十六计按照计谋名称排列,共有六类。书中计谋的名称有不同的起源,有些源自历史故事,如“围魏救赵”;有些源自古代军事术语,如“声东击西”;有些源自习语,如“指桑骂槐”。 每个计谋都带有解释和说明。注释多引自宋朝以前战争的激烈言论,也有些引自古代著名谋略家的名言。《三十六计》创作完成后被大众广泛阅读,“三十六计,走为上计”的说法也被经常使用。
译文参考:

Each stratagem name is followed by an explanation and notes. The notes are mostly sharp statements quoted from war examples before the Song Dynasty as well as from famous ancient strategists. After the composition of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, it has been widely read in the general public and the phrase “of all thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best” is also frequently used.
