  老子道德經第十一章
  
  三十輻　共一轂
  當其無　有車之用
  埏埴以為器
  當其無　有器之用
  鑿戶牖以為室
  當其無　有室之用
  故有之以為利　無之以為用
  
  11.
  The spokes centers around the wheel's hub;
  It's the hole in the hub that makes a vehicle useful.
  
  The clays are shaped into a vessel;
  It's the space inside that makes the container useful.
  
  The doors and windows are cut to build a house;
  It's the openings that makes a room useful.
  
  Therefore, the body only serves as the evidence of existence;
  It's the empty nothingness that makes it useful.
  
  
  
  wheel 1: 1 hub, 2 spoke, 3 felly, 4 tire
  
  
  it's the openings that makes a "car" useful.

• 81ziBravo! I might have said something like: Sitting in the deepest void, I am still and quiet. Where is your interpretation of this statement?
• 闃垮�� Yes, yours is better. 我把这句跟后面那几句并在一起了，因为意思都差不多。“不知常　妄作凶”＝知常，不妄作凶＝懂得永恒之道，不会妄动为祸害＝不会遭凶＝沒身不殆。 容＝包容＝accepting 公＝无私＝just 全＝保全＝preserved 天＝自然＝natural 道＝合于大道＝with nature 久＝永恒＝eternity 沒身不殆＝终身无危=lives on

When I realize how smart I am, I fool myself with my intelligence. When I don't feel love for others, I know how to be polite and courteous. When my life is in confusion and chaos, Any step I take is a step
• 娴�鐢�十八针对仁义礼的，从字面译是不是就可以？阿姗internalize了。 很喜欢十二和十五，不过十二最后两句是值得商榷。
• 闃垮�� 电视上正在播道德经的传道节目。想起我这里还没写完。听从浮生的，修改一下 18 章。我写的不是翻译，而是自老子的诗文出发，写自己对生活的认知。这一章原文很直接易懂，我写的离原文比较远了。我现在离道也远，写的东西没有什么光华。 18. When people loses touch with human nature, they come up with theory of doing good; When people take pride in how smart they are, they cheat each other with their in
