Section De – Chapter XL
In Tao the only motion is returning;
The only useful quality, weakness.
For though all creatures under heaven are the products of Being,
Being itself is the product of Not-being.
Waley 40
对立统一是道运转的动力, 柔软同通是道的作用。
天下万物生于有, 有生于无。
白话翻译
Turning back is how the way moves;
Weakness is the means the way employs.
The myriad creatures in the world are born from
Something, and Something from Nothing.
Lau 40
Le retour au non-être (produit) le mouvement31 du Tao.
La faiblesse est la fonction du Tao.
Toutes les choses du monde sont nées de l'être ; l'être est né du non-être.
Julien 40
Rückkehr ist die Bewegung des SINNS.
Schwachheit ist die Wirkung des SINNS.
Alle Dinge unter dem Himmel entstehen im Sein.
Das Sein entsteht im Nichtsein.
Wilhelm 40
