道德经英文版(恩始第六十三)
~{ 为无为,事无事,味无味。~}
~{ 图难于其易,为大于其细;天下难事,必作于易,天下大事,必~}~{作于细。是以圣人终不为大,故能成其大。~}
~{ 夫轻诺必寡信,多易必多难。是以圣人犹难之,故终无难矣。~}
Practice no-action;
Attend to do-nothing;
Taste the flavorless,
Magnify the small,
Multiply the few,
Return love for hate.
Deal with the difficult while it is yet easy;
Deal with the great while it is yet small;
The difficult develops naturally from the easy,
And the great from the small;
So the gentle, by dealing with the small,
Achieve the great.
Who finds it easy to promise finds it hard to be trusted;
Who takes things lightly makes things difficult;
The gentle recognize difficulty, and so have none.
