中英文《道德经》Chapter 25

25.有物混成，先天地生。寂兮寥兮，独立而不改，周行而不殆，可以为天地母。吾不知其名，强字之曰道，强为之名曰大。大曰逝，逝曰远，远曰反。故道大，天大，地大，人亦大。域中 有四大，而人居其一焉。人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然。

There was chaos before Heaven and Earth.

Void and vast, independent and undeterred,

It moves in cycle and never runs out steam.

it may be the mother of all between Heaven and Earth.

I do not know its name, but call it the Divine Law if I may.

I could also name it the Great.

The Great will pass by,

Passing implies a long way,

Regardless the distance, it will come back.

Therefore the divine law is great,

so are Heaven, Earth and man as well.

In the universe, man is among the four.

Man emulates Earth;

Earth Heaven; Heaven the divine law.

The divine law emulates spontaneity.
