The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao; The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; The named is the mother of all things. Therefore, always desireless, you observe its essence; Always desiring, you observe its manifestations.
請將《道德經》第一章翻譯成英文與日文。
原文如下：
道可道，非常道；名可名，非常名。
無名天地之始；有名萬物之母。
故常無欲，以觀其妙；
常有欲，以觀其徼。
此兩者，同出而異名，
同謂之玄。
玄之又玄，眾妙之門。
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth;
The named is the mother of all things.
Therefore, always desireless, you observe its essence;
Always desiring, you observe its manifestations.
Their unity is called mystery.
Mystery of mysteries, the gate to all wonders.
名の名とすべきは常の名にあらず。
無名は天地の始まり；
有名は万物の母。
故に、常に無欲をもってその妙を観、
常に有欲をもってその徼を観る。
両者は同じくして出でて名を異にす、
これを玄と謂う。
玄のまた玄、衆妙の門。
