《道德经》英译（第四十六章）

天下有道，

却走马以粪；

天下无道，

戎马生于郊。

祸莫大于不知足，

咎莫大于欲得。

故知足之足，

常足矣。

Chapter 46

When the Way rules the world,

Coach horses fertilize fields;

When the Way does not rule,

War horses breed in the parks.

No sin can exceed

Incitement to envy;

No calamity’s worse

Than to be discontented,

Nor is there an omen

More dreadful than coveting.

But once be contented,

And truly you’ll always be so.
