管子语录 汉英双解

【原文】善者势利之在，而民自美安，不推而往，不引而来，不烦不扰，而民自富。如鸟之覆卵，无形无声，而唯见其成。《禁藏》

【汉解】善治国考，掌握住利源之所在，人民就自然羡慕而甘心接受；无需推动，他们也会前进；无需引导，他们也会跟来；不烦民又不扰民，而人民自富。这就象鸟孵卵一样，不见其形，不闻其声，小鸟就破巢而出了。

【英译】Those who are skilled in government control the presence of wealth so that the people are naturally content. Without pushing them, they go; without pulling them, they come. Without trouble or worry, the people enrich themselves. It is like a bird sitting on its eggs: there is neither shape nor sound, but the young suddenly appear quite complete.
