聖人非能以世之所易，勝其所難也；必以其所難，勝其所易。A sage cannot, with what the world thinks easy, overcome that which it thinks difficult, but he must, by means of what it thinks difficult, overcome that which it thinks easy.
故民愚，So, for example, if the people are stupid,
則知可以勝之； he can overcome it by means of knowledge;
世知， if the world is educated,
則力可以勝之。 he can overcome it by means of force.
民愚， When people are stupid,
則易力而難巧；they think force easy, but cleverness difficult;
世巧， but if the world is clever,
則易知而難力。then it thinks knowledge easy, but force difficult.
故神農教耕而王天下，So, when Shen-nung taught ploughing and attained supreme sway,
師其知也； the leadership was by means of his knowledge.
湯武致強而征諸侯， When Tang and Wu made themselves strong and attacked the feudal lords,
服其力也。 the subjugation was by means of force.
今世巧而民淫，Nowadays, the world is full of cleverness and people are dissolute,
方倣湯武之時，and at this juncture, when the times of Tang and Wu are imitated,
而行神農之事， to practise the actions of Shen-nung...
以隨世禁，
故千乘惑亂。 thus a country of a thousand chariots hereby falling into a state of disorder:
此其所加務者，過也。 this is paying particular attention to the wrong things.
