第二十三章
Chapter 23
希言自然。故飘风不终朝,骤雨不终日。孰为此者?天地。天地尚不能久,而况于人乎?故从事于道者,道者同于道,德者同于德,失者同于失。同于道者,道亦乐得之;同于德者,德亦乐得之;同于失者,失亦乐得之。信不足焉,有不信焉。
Sparse words are natural. A gusty wind does not last all morning; a sudden rain does not last all day. What causes these? Heaven and earth. If even heaven and earth cannot sustain things forever, how much less can humans? Therefore, one who follows the Tao identifies with the Tao; one who follows virtue identifies with virtue; one who follows loss identifies with loss. One who identifies with the Tao, the Tao also gladly embraces; one who identifies with virtue, virtue gladly embraces; one who identifies with loss, loss also gladly claims. When trust is lacking, there is no trust in return.
白话译文
少说话才合乎自然。所以狂风不会吹一个早晨,暴雨不会下一整天。是谁造成了这样的情况?是天地。天地的变化尚且不能持久,何况是人的作为呢?所以修道的人,行道的就与道合一,修德的就与德合一,失道失德的就与失败合一。与道合一的,道也乐于得到他;与德合一的,德也乐于得到他;与失败合一的,失败也来找他。诚信不足的人,别人也不会信任他。
AI 解读
老子以暴风骤雨为喻,说明任何剧烈的行为都不能持久。真正持久的力量是温和的、平静的、顺应自然的。同时揭示了一个深刻的共振法则:你与什么合一,什么就会回应你。这就是道家的'感应'原理。
