双语双音《道德经》第四十五章

45.大成若缺，其用不弊。大盈若冲，其用不穷。大直若屈，大巧若拙，大辩若讷。静胜躁，寒胜热。清静为天下正。

〖解读〗

 天下最美好的东西似乎也有欠缺，但它的作用是不会衰竭的。天下最充实的东西好像也很空虚，但它的作用是不会穷尽的。最笔直的东西看起来好像是弯曲的，最灵巧的东西看起来好像是笨拙的，最卓越的辩才好像是不善言辞的。清静可以克服扰动，寒冷可以克服炎热。做到清静无为才可以统率天下。

Perfection does not seem flawless,

but it can be used for long.

What is full still has vacancy,

but it can be used endlessly.

The straight may seem bent;

the most skilful may seem clumsy;

the most eloquent may seem slow in words.

Exercise calm rather than rash;

Be cool-headed rather than passionate.

Serenity is the right way in the world.
