"Knowers never talk and talkers never know,"
I heard this from Laozi, a master well-known.
But was Laozi himself a real knower? If so,
Why there were five thousand words of his own?

Knowers are reticent but talkers don't know,
This saying by Saint Laozi of that I have heard.
Yet if Laozi is one of those who think they know,
Why did he write a book of five-thousand-word?

好,欣赏,学习,但是这两个"never'在现实中似乎不一定吧?

Apprehenders're reticent yet babblers ignorant
This saying from a wiseman Laozi I heard.
Yet if Laozi was one of those who're silent,
Why did he write a note of five-thousand-word?

你说得对,所以这句话也正是白居易批判的靶子。

Babblers're nescient yet apprehenders silent,
This saying from a wiseman Laozi I heard.
Yet if Laozi was one of those who're ignorant,
Why did he write a note of five-thousand-word?


意思译反了吧?

Wise men keep silent yet talkers know nothing,
From Laozi I have heard this saying.
If he really had a wise head,
Why did he write a 5000-word book instead?
