50	道德經:	出生入死。 生之徒，十有三；死之徒，十有三；人之生，動之死地，十有三。 夫何故？以其生，生之厚。 蓋聞善攝生者，陸行不遇兕虎，入軍不被甲兵；兕無所投其角，虎無所措其爪，兵無所容其刃。 夫何故？以其無死地。
	Dao De Jing:	(The value set on life) Men come forth and live; they enter (again) and die. Of every ten three are ministers of life (to themselves); and three are ministers of death. There are also three in every ten whose aim is to live, but whose movements tend to the land (or place) of death. And for what reason? Because of their excessive endeavours to perpetuate life. But I have heard that he who is skilful in managing the life entrusted to him for a time travels on the land without having to shun rhinoceros or tiger, and enters a host without having to avoid buff coat or sharp weapon. The rhinoceros finds no place in him into which to thrust its horn, nor the tiger a place in which to fix its claws, nor the weapon a place to admit its point. And for what reason? Because there is in him no place of death.

《道德经》第五十章

【原文】

出生入死。

生之徒十有三，死之徒十有三，

而民生生，动皆之死地之十有三。

夫何故也？以其生生也。

盖闻善摄生者，

陵行不避兕[sì]虎，入军不被[bèi]甲兵。

兕无所投其角，虎无所措其爪，兵无所容其刃。

夫何故也，以其无死地焉。

道德经这章讲了两种养生之道。一种是因营养过剩、骄奢淫逸，故而短命夭折；一种是因行动不慎而造成伤亡。老子认为，人活在世，应善于避害，则可以保全生命长寿。注意人为因素对生命的影响，要求人们不要靠着掠取强夺来保养自己，而要以清静无为的态度远离死地。

50

Between being born and dying

Three out of ten are companions of life;

Three out of ten are companions of death.

And three out of ten in their lives progress from activity to death;

Why is this?

Because they strive too intensely afterlife.

It is well known that those who know how to live properly can go out

Without fear of meeting rhinoceros or tiger.

Caught in the fray, weapons cannot harm them.

The rhinoceros cannot gore them with its horn;

The tiger cannot maul them with its claws;

And weapons can find no place to pierce.

Why is this?

For them, there is no such thing as death.
