赵彦春英译《易传•系辞上》
一阴一阳之谓道。继之者善也，成之者性也。仁者见之谓之仁，知者见之谓之知，百姓日用而不知，故君子之道鲜矣。显诸仁，藏诸用，鼓万物而不与圣人同忧，盛德大业至矣哉！富有之谓大业，日新之谓盛德。生生之谓易，成象之谓乾，效法之谓坤，极数知来之谓占，通变之谓事，阴阳不测之谓神。

What is called Shade and Shine is the Word. What follows it is Good; what makes it is Nature. He who is benevolent calls it Benevolence; he who is wise calls it Wisdom. The folks use it but don’t know it, so very few talk about it. The benevolence of the Word is revealed; the use of the Word is hidden. It raises everything without saints’ worries, hence the completion of great virtues and causes! Gaining wealth is called Great Cause; making progress is called Great Virtue. Making lives live on is called Change; visualizing things is called Gen; sustaining things is called Kueen; calculating to predict is called Divination; access to the secrets of change is called Acumen; not knowing the reason of Shade and Shine is called Mystery.
