      道德经英文版(无用第十一)

      ~{  三十辐,共一毂,当其无,有车之用。~}

      ~{  埏埴以为器,当其无,有器之用。~}

      ~{  凿户牖以为室,当其无,有室之用。~}

      ~{  故有之以为利,无之以为用。~}

      11. Continence

      Thirty spokes meet at a nave;

      Because of the hole we may use the wheel.

      Clay is moulded into a vessel;

      Because of the hollow we may use the cup.

      Walls are built around a hearth;

      Because of the doors we may use the house.

      Thus distinctions seem to contain,

      But their use is to transform.
