道德經

20	道德經:	絕學無憂，唯之與阿，相去幾何？ 善之與惡，相去若何？ 人之所畏，不可不畏。 荒兮其未央哉！衆人熙熙，如享太牢，如春登臺。 我獨怕兮其未兆；如嬰兒之未孩；儽儽兮若無所歸。 衆人皆有餘，而我獨若遺。我愚人之心也哉！ 沌沌兮，俗人昭昭，我獨若昏。 俗人察察，我獨悶悶。 澹兮其若海，飂兮若無止，衆人皆有以，而我獨頑似鄙。 我獨異於人，而貴食母。
	Dao De Jing:	(Being different from ordinary men) When we renounce learning we have no troubles. The (ready) 'yes,' and (flattering) 'yea;' Small is the difference they display. But mark their issues, good and ill; What space the gulf between shall fill? What all men fear is indeed to be feared; but how wide and without end is the range of questions (asking to be discussed)! The multitude of men looks satisfied and pleased; as if enjoying a full banquet as if mounted on a tower in spring. I alone seem listless and still, my desires having as yet given no indication of their presence. I am like an infant which has not yet smiled. I look dejected and forlorn as if I had no home to go to. The multitude of men all have enough and to spare. I alone seem to have lost everything. My mind is that of a stupid man; I am in a state of chaos. Ordinary men look bright and intelligent, while I alone seem to be benighted. They look full of discrimination, while I alone am dull and confused. I seem to be carried about as on the sea, drifting as if I had nowhere to rest. All men have their spheres of action, while I alone seem dull and incapable, like a rude borderer. (Thus) I alone am different from other men, but I value the nursing-mother (the Dao). Chapter 20 - LaFargue Break with Learning, and there will be no trouble.  'Yeah' and 'yes sir' - is there a big difference between them?  'Excellent' and 'despicable' - what's the real difference between them? "What others hold in respect, we can't fail to respect." Craziness.  Aren't we over this yet? "All the others are beaming and beaming like people enjoying a great ceremonial feast, like people climbing an overlook tower in the spring. I am alone still - no indications at all yet like an infant who hasn't yet even smiled. So sad. Like someone with no place to go home to. All the others have a superabundance I alone seem to have missed out. Oh, my simpleton's mind! So confused. Ordinary men are so bright I alone am so dull. Ordinary men are so sharp I alone am so stupid. Churned up like the ocean, blown about, like someone with no place to rest. All the others all have their function. I alone am thick-headed, like someone from the backcountry." I am alone, different from others - treasuring the nourishing Mother. 第 二 十 Section Dao – Chapter XX 眾 人 皆 有 餘 而 我 獨 若 遺 儽 儽 兮 若 無 所 歸 如 嬰 兒 之 未 孩 如 春 登 臺 我 獨 泊 兮 其 未 兆 眾 人 熙 熙 如 享 太 牢 不 可 不 畏 荒 兮 其 未 央 哉 相 去 若 何 人 之 所 畏 相 去 幾 何 善 之 與 惡 絕 學 無 憂 唯 之 與 阿 而 貴 食 母 我 獨 異 於 人 而 我 獨 頑 且 鄙 眾 人 皆 有 以 我 獨 悶 悶 俗 人 察 察 我 獨 昏 昏 沌 沌 兮 俗 人 昭 昭 我 愚 人 之 心 也 哉 Between Wei and O What after all is the difference? Can it be compared to the difference between good and bad? The saying “what others avoid I too must avoid” How false and superficial it is? All men, indeed, are wreathed in smiles, As though feasting after the Great Sacrifice, As though going up to the Spring Carnival. I alone am inert, like a child that has not yet given sign; Like an infant that has not yet smiled. I droop and drift, as though I belonged nowhere. All men have enough and to spare; I alone seem to have lost everything. Mine is indeed the mind of a very idiot, So dull am I. The world is full of people that shine; I alone am dark. They look lively and self-assured; I alone depressed. (I seem unsettled as the ocean; Blown adrift, never brought to a stop.) All men can be put to some use; I alone am intractable and boorish. But wherein I most am different from men Is that I prize no sustenance that comes not from the Mother's breast. Waley 20 绝弃令人烦恼的死知识, 作自己想作的事, 有何不好? 善与恶又有什么差别? 如果只把知识当做登向士途的台阶, 那么读书就变成与个人荣辱紧密相关, 那么读书确实令人生畏, 也确实不可不畏。大道与世俗相差太远了! 大道是这样宽广, 而人们却熙熙攘攘的挤在一条仕途的小路上, 如享太牢, 如春登台。只有我恬淡无动于衷, 好像一个失落的婴儿, 若无所宅。 众人都有怀有志, 盈溢胸心的样子。而我却是廓然无为无欲, 若有所失的样子。我真是愚人的心肠啊! 心中沌沌然然。世人都光耀自炫, 而我却昏昏昧昧。世人都精明机巧, 而我却无所识别的样子。一边静的像海似的, 另一面却像不止的飙风。别人都好像很有作为, 唯我不求上进。我同世人不同, 追求道的生活。 白话翻译 Between yea and nay How much difference is there? Between good and evil How great is the distance? What others fear One must also fear. The multitude are joyous As if partaking of the offering Or going up to a terrace in spring. I alone am inactive and reveal no signs, And wax without having reached the limit. Like a baby that has not yet learned to smile, Listless as though with no home to go back to. The multitude all have more than enough. I alone seem to be in want. My mind is that of a fool - how blank! Vulgar people are clear. I alone am drowsy. Vulgar people are alert. I alone am muddled. Calm like the sea; Like a high wind that never ceases. The multitude all have a purpose. I alone am foolish and uncouth. I alone am different from others And value being fed by the mother. Lau 20 Renoncez à l'étude, et vous serez exempt de chagrins. Combien est petite la différence de weï (un oui bref) et de o (un oui lent) ! Combien est grande la différence du bien et du mal ! Ce que les hommes craignent, on ne peut s'empêcher de le craindre. Ils s'abandonnent au désordre et ne s'arrêtent jamais. Les hommes de la multitude sont exaltés de joie comme celui qui se repaît de mets succulents, comme celui qui est monté, au printemps, sur une tour élevée. Moi seul je suis calme : (mes affections) n'ont pas encore germé. Je ressemble à un nouveau-né qui n'a pas encore souri à sa mère. Je suis détaché de tout, on dirait que je ne sais où aller. Les hommes de la multitude ont du superflu ; moi seul je suis comme une homme qui a perdu tout. Je suis un homme d'un esprit borné, je suis dépourvu de connaissances. Les hommes de la multitude sont remplis de lumières ; moi seul je suis comme plongé dans les ténèbres. Les hommes du monde sont doués de pénétration ; mois seul j'ai l'esprit trouble et confus. Je suis vague comme la mer ; je flotte comme si je ne savais où m'arrêter. Les hommes de la multitude ont tous de la capacité ; moi seul je suis stupide ; je ressemble à un homme rustique. Mois seul je diffère des autres hommes parce que je révère la mère qui nourrit (tous les êtres). Julien 20 Zwischen Gewiß und Jawohl: was ist da für ein Unterschied? Zwischen Gut und Böse: was ist da für ein Unterschied? Was die Menschen ehren, muß man ehren. O Einsamkeit, wie lange dauerst Du? Alle Menschen sind so strahlend, als ginge es zum großen Opfer, als stiegen sie im Frühling auf die Türme. Nur ich bin so zögernd, mir ward noch kein Zeichen, wie ein Säugling, der noch nicht lachen kann, unruhig, umgetrieben als hätte ich keine Heimat. Alle Menschen haben Überfluß; nur ich bin wie vergessen. Ich habe das Herz eines Toren, so wirr und dunkel. Die Weltmenschen sind hell, ach so hell; nur ich bin wie trübe. Die Weltmenschen sind klug, ach so klug; nur ich bin wie verschlossen in mir, unruhig, ach, als wie das Meer, wirbelnd, ach, ohne Unterlaß. Alle Menschen haben, ihre Zwecke; nur ich bin müßig wie ein Bettler. Ich allein bin anders als die Menschen: Doch ich halte es wert, Nahrung zu suchen bei der Mutter. Wilhelm 20 Dao De Jing I. 20.
