《道德经》双语朗诵第45章

第四十五章

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。

燥胜寒，静胜热。清静为天下正。

The greatest perfection seems imperfect, and yet its use is inexhaustible.

The greatest fullness seems empty, and yet its use is endless.

Great straightness seems twisted.

Great intelligence seems stupid.

Great eloquence seems awkward.

Great truth seems false.

Great discussion seems silent.

Activity conquers cold; inactivity conquers heat.

Stillness and tranquility set things in order in the universe.
