  老子道德經第一章
  
  道可道　非常道
  名可名　非常名
  無名天地之始　有名萬物之母
  故常無　欲以觀其妙
  　常有　欲以觀其徼
  此兩者　同出而異名　同謂之玄
  玄之又玄　眾妙之門
  
  1
  Tao.
  I want to tell you about it, but what I can say is not it.
  I want to give it a name, but any name says something else.
  The universe begins with this cannot-name,
  From it come all things that can be named.
  Therefore, use the no-name concept (e.g., art, music, religion)
  to wonder about the whole,
  And use the named ideas (e.g., science, philosophy)
  to study and communicate the details.
  See, these are just the two different angles of the same thing,
  Call it nature, force, field, god, or simply,
  Tao.

• 闃垮��July 17, 2004 老子道德經第二章 天下皆知美之為美　斯惡已 　　皆知善之為善　斯不善已 故有無相生　難易相成 　長短相形　高下相傾 　音聲相和　前後相隨 是以聖人處無為之事　行不言之教 萬物作而弗始　生而弗有 　　為而弗恃　功成而不居 夫唯弗居　是以不去 2 When you see beauty, you also label ugliness. When you know good, you also define evil. Lao Tzu says, Have and have-not come togeth

• July这段到像纪伯伦。:))
• 闃垮��嘻嘻，一定是当年读 Gibran 读多了，还抄给人读，还从英文翻译成中文。:) The language of love is universal. Love is a poem. 老子：爱是“作而弗始，生而弗有，為而弗恃，功成而不居”。:) Gibran:Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but
• July是啊，失恋的时候一定要读纪伯伦，才能想得开：））
• 闃垮��[Image] October 24, 2004 老子道德經第三章 不尚賢　使民不爭 不貴難得之貨　使民不為盜 不見可欲　使民心不亂 是以聖人之治 　虛其心　實其腹　弱其志　強其骨 　常使民無知無欲 　使夫智者不敢為也 　為無為　則無不治 3. When wealth is prized, competition arises. When perfection is valued, deceit begins. When desires are encouraged, confusion sets in. Think less, eat well, give up ambiti
• July 是的，人要有一颗谦卑的心，要随遇而安。
• ben ben阿珊, 你做义工的那篇呢? 还在做吗? 你已经走到了我们前面.我看了,还跟人讲了一遍.
• 闃垮��August 9, 2004 老子道德經第五章 天地不仁　以萬物為芻狗 聖人不仁　以百姓為芻狗 天地之間　其猶橐龠乎 虛而不屈　動而愈出 多言數窮　不如守中 The nature has nothing to do with love; Everything is just an abstraction. The wise men don't talk about love either; They see everyone as equals, detachedly. Sometimes I think of the bellows-- when it holds still it is full of air, the more
• 闃垮��October 16, 2004 老子道德經第六章 谷神不死　是謂玄牝 玄牝之門　是謂天地根 綿綿若存　用之不勤 6. The Goddess of void is eternal. She is the mother of all. From her birth canal, The universe is born. With her mysterious power, She preserves us all, forever.
• 闃垮�� 只写了那一篇，后来还有几篇没写呢，又鼓捣别的去了。好象总有做不完的事，欠了一大堆文字。我把这几篇置前来做。
• 闃垮��July 23, 2004 老子道德經第七章 天長地久 天地所以能長且久者 以其不自生故能長生 是以聖人後其身而身先 外其身而身存 非以其無私邪 故能成其私 7. How immortal the Nature is! For it fosters not its own life. The sage puts behind his body, Thus gains his true self. He dwells elsewhere his mind, Thus immortalizes his spirit. For does he not fulfillment find In not being one, But one
• July阿姗，你这么安静啊？想你啊！我昨天买到了一本Feng的译本。可是有朋友告诉我，喜欢你的译本啊：）
• 鍏�鍗佷竴瀛� 这个双重否定好像有些背离原意。
• 闃垮��我是引申多了一些，但意思还是对的吧.... 非以其無私邪 故能成其私 For isn't it true that by not being himself (i.e. being with Nature) he finds the Self (fulfillment)?
• 闃垮��2004.08.21 老子道德經第八章 上善若水 水善利萬物而不爭 處眾人之所惡　故幾於道 居善地　心善淵　與善仁 言善信　政善治 事善能　動善時 夫唯不爭　故無尤 8. Sometimes I think about water. Silently, it is the source for all lives; Humbly, it flows to the lowland. It reminds me of Tao. So I must learn from water: Live close to the land. Search inwardly, deeply. Be gentle with other
• 鍏�鍗佷竴瀛� Let us change the question into a statement: He does not find fulfillment in not being one but one with the Nature. I find this double negative difficult to understand. The statement would perhaps make more sense if put in either one of the following two forms: He finds fulfillment in not being one but one with the Nature. He does not find fulfillment in being one but one wit
• WOAThis is superb work...... really enjoy reading the translation far more than the original “antique” phrases. Should there be a single word to best portray Christianity, I'd personally vote for FIRE -- to go hand in hand with devotion, aggression and passion etc, whereas WATER fits right into the heart of oriental culture and beliefs like Buddism and Taoism. Here is a quote from Dec 2005 edi
• 鍏�鍗佷竴瀛�又读了几遍。同意阿姗。这个反问句这样翻译很好。
• 闃垮�� 前几天在网上看到一个收集各种版本道德经翻译的，想给你看。才记得当时我参考过三四个版本，见到 "for does he not fulfillment find" 这句，非常喜欢，就抄过来了。没想到还有这么多版本。看来大家都是喜欢反问句： 非以其無私邪 故能成其私 Ah-San: For does he not fulfillment find In not being one, But one with the Nature? Beck: Is it not because they do not live for themselves that they find themselv
• 闃垮��October 7, 2004 老子道德經第九章 持而盈之　不如其已 揣而銳之　不可長保 金玉滿堂　莫之能守 富貴而驕　自遺其咎 功成身退　天之道也 9. Too full a cup is likely to spill; Too sharp a knife will soon blunt; Too much treasure cannot be guarded; Too rich and famous leads to trouble. When the work is done, quit. Anything that's too much is too much.

• 鍏�鍗佷竴瀛�Bravo, A-Shan!
• WOA强烈要求给白宫每一个email地址抄送阿珊版道德经，副总统以上要求背诵默写五十遍。
• 闃垮��谢谢。我也很喜欢第十章这篇。当时想着时事，花了不少心机。
• Aluo
• baituoi appreciate your attempts at translating this masterpiece, but at times your translation is misleading. also, you tend do leave out what some might consider to be important elements (translations od entire sentences, phrases, etc).
• 闃垮�� Thank you for your feedback. I consider my version as an "interpolation" rather than "translation" of the original text. How I interpolate depends on the events of the day and my mood of the time. You can say that these are projections of the original text on my life and my thoughts at the times of my writing. I would like to continue this series here.
• greentea阿珊版真好看～～还有新的吗？
