1. When we renounce1 learning we have no troubles.
The (ready) 'yes,' and (flattering) 'yea;'--
Small is the difference they display.
But mark their issues, good and ill;--
What space the gulf2 between shall fill? What all men fear is indeed to be feared; but how wide and without end is the range of questions (asking to be discussed)!
2. The multitude of men look satisfied and pleased; as if enjoying a full banquet, as if mounted on a tower in spring. I alone seem listless and still, my desires having as yet given no indication of their presence. I am like an infant which has not yet smiled. I look dejected and forlorn, as if I had no home to go to. The multitude of men all have enough and to spare. I alone seem to have lost everything. My mind is that of a stupid man; I am in a state of chaos3. Ordinary men look bright and intelligent, while I alone seem to be benighted4. They look full of discrimination, while I alone am dull and confused. I seem to be carried about as on the sea, drifting as if I had nowhere to rest. All men have their spheres of action, while I alone seem dull and incapable5, like a rude borderer. (Thus) I alone am different from other men, but I value the nursing-mother (the Tao).
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。
【译文】
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。
