中英文《道德经》Chapter 10

10.载营魄抱一，能无离乎？专气致柔，能如婴儿乎？涤除玄鉴，能无疵（ci：一声）乎？爱民治国，能无为乎？天门开阖（he：二声），能为雌乎？明白四达，能无知乎？生之畜之。生而 不有，为而不恃，长而不宰，是谓“玄德”。

Can body and soul united

never sever?

Can the controlled breath

be softened as a baby's?

Can the purified mental mirror

be free from blemish?

Can a people-loving ruler not interfere

in the state affairs?

Can the lower doors not open and close

as the upper doors in heaven?

Is it possible to understand and make understand

without knowledge?

Give life and make live,

but lay no claim,

benefit but do not interfere,

lead but do not rule.

Such is the mysterious virtue.
