原文:
上德不德,是以有德;下德不失德,是以无德。
译文:
具备“上德”的人不表现为外在的有德,因此实际上是有“德”;具备“下德”的人表现为外在的不离失“道”,因此实际是没有“德”的。
我的翻译:
The man with highest virtue doesn't regard himself as a virtuous person,so he is a really virtuous person.
The man with lower virtue regards himself
as a virtuous person, so he isn't a really virtuous person
