道德经 第四十三章

孙祎卓

1. The softest thing in the world dashes against and overcomes the hardest; that which has no (substantial) existence enters where there is no crevice. I know hereby what advantage belongs to doing nothing (with a purpose).
2. There are few in the world who attain to the teaching without words, and the advantage arising from non-action.

      天下之至柔，驰骋天下之至坚。
　　  无有入于无间。
      吾是以知无为之有益。
      不言之教，无为之益，天下希及之。
【译文】
       天下最柔弱的行为者，同时也是行遍天下无所不克的最坚强者。虚无的道可以进入一切存在起作用。我因此懂得了不执着于名的“无为”的好处。“不言”的劝教，“无为”的好处，普天下没有什么比得上。
