书籍介绍
Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.
Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.

Timeless Wisdom
因为是英语，所以反倒读起来容易了很多。总体感觉道理篇幅太大，一本为quote而生的小本。
道家学说这么深奥的东西，能翻译成这样已经很不错了。其实和佛教的dharma，马基雅维利的fortuna都有相似之处，顺势而为，保持灵活和适应力可能是最简单实际的道理。
Do your best to avoid this one!
自傲的西方人，根本不知道什么是无为，不知道什么是道，什么是中。无为被译为Do nothing，福祸相依那里完全被略去不翻。
最差的翻译！愤怒！
道德经百个译本，这个是个人比较喜欢的。道德经的untranslatability真是无处不在！
