道德经-20

20. 绝学,无忧。 唯之与阿,相去几何? 美之与恶,相去何若? 人之所畏,不可不畏? 荒兮其未央哉! 众人熙熙,如享太牢,如春登台。 我独泊兮其未兆,如婴儿之未孩,傫傫兮,若无所归。 众人皆有余,而我独若遗。 我愚人之心也哉,沌沌兮! 俗人昭昭,我独昏昏。 俗人察察,我独闷闷。 澹兮其若海,飂兮若无止。 众人皆有以,而我独顽似鄙。 我独异于人,而贵食母。

 

Stop thinking, and end your problems.
What difference between yes and no?
What difference between success and failure?
Must you value what others value,
avoid what others avoid?
How ridiculous!

Other people are excited,
as though they were at a parade.
I alone don’t care.
I alone am expressionless.
Like an infant before it can smile.

Other people have what they need.
I alone possess nothing.
I alone drift about.
Like someone without a home.
I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.

Other people are bright.
I alone am dark.
Other people are sharp.
I alone am dull.
Other people have a purpose.
I alone don’t know.
I drift like a wave on the ocean.
I blow as aimless as the wind.

I am different from ordinary people.
I drink from the Great Mother’s breasts.

 

抛弃显学成见等路况知识,可以无忧在途。 那些去应诺附从的与那些去呵斥抗拮的,能有多大差别?那些在欣赏喜慰的与那些在 嫌恶厌弃的,又相差多少?他人所畏避的,难道就非畏避不可吗?这种盲从风气久远 以来到处蔓延,什么时候都没完没了! 人们真是喧闹喜乐、风光满面,就像享用着盛宴的美食,就像春日里奔赴高台。唯独 我淡淡漠漠的,找不出任何随潮同流的迹象,就像婴儿还不懂得言笑作态,娴静而慵 懒,因不附从于任何潮流而显得无所归属。 人们似乎都有充足的装备,而我却显得什么也不足。我真是愚人的心肠呵,混混沌沌 的。人们似乎精明而睿智,而我却显得糊里糊涂。人们勤紧而利索,而我却在无可无 不可地闲散游荡。摇曳灵活呵,就像大海一样;飘忽散漫呵,无拘无束。人们似乎都 有足堪仗恃的本领,而我却总是不轻易出离混沌无名,就像不堪成器的鄙朴一样。我 将继续我的特立独行,我崇尚求得于道。

人生的忧患从认字开始。
