Design, attempt, wish, hope, confidence; also quarrelling, a plan that may fail, annoyance. The design is uncertain in its import, because the significations are widely at variance with each other.

Good advice, counsel, instruction, slander, babbling.
这张牌在做什么
It represents the sideways move: getting what you can and leaving the rest. It appears when open fight is unwise. The shadow is deception dressed as cleverness.
