（注：译者翻译此文时参考了南怀瑾老师的著作《老子他说》及林语堂先生的译作" The Wisdom of Laozi", 并在此基础上融入了译者本人对原文的理解，因此该译文并非标准答案，如有缘人读到，请以你自己的理解为准。）
天下皆谓我道大，似不肖。
The whole word says that my teaching of Tao makes no sense because it's too vast to be understood.
若肖，久矣其细也夫。
The problem is that if it resembles other teachings, the true nature implied will be lost with time.
我有三宝，持而保之。
For my teaching of Tao, I have three treasures for you to use and carry on.
一曰慈，二曰俭，三曰不敢为天下先。
The first is to love.
The second is to focus.
The third is dare not to be narcissistic.
慈故能勇，俭故能广，不敢为天下先故能成器长。
Through love, one can be fearless.
With concentration, excellence can be achieved.
Being not self-centred enables one to grow mature and lead with the trend.
今舍慈且勇，舍俭且广，舍后且先。死矣！
These days, however, abandoning love and concentration, chased only by limitless desires regardless of relevant conditions, it only results in ruthlessness, restlessness and vain. Under these circumstances, one is destined to fail!
夫慈以战则胜，以守则固。天将救之，以慈卫之。
Love always wins the wars and consolidates in defence. Why is that? Because it is love that guards us and is given to help us survive.
