| SIMPLIFIED | PINYIN | ENGLISH | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 推举 | tuījǔ | to select | |
| 贤人 | xiánrén | sage, wise man | |
| 金银财宝 | jīnyíncáibǎo | 'wealth and treasure' | |
| 欲望 | yùwàng | desire |
同样如果君主推举贤人做官那么人民就学会了竞争君主爱惜金银财宝那么人民就懂得了偷盗所以要想治理好国家就应该让人民头脑空肚子饱身体强壮但没有欲望这叫做无为而治就是什么都不需要做的顺其自然的治国方法

By the same token, if a monarch selects wise men to become officials, the people will become competitive; if he covets wealth and treasure, the people will learn to steal. Therefore, in order to properly administer a country, the peoples' minds should be empty, their bellies full, and their bodies strong, but they should have no desires. This is called "governing by doing nothing;" using it, you need not do anything. It's a method of governance that follows the natural course of nature.
嗯有道理
ng4 嗯yǒudàolǐ 有道理
Ah. That makes sense.
我再问你身体最硬的和最软的部位分别是什么

I'll ask you again: what are the hardest and softest parts of the human body?
最硬的是牙齿最软的是舌头
zuì 最yìng 硬de 的shì 是yáchǐ 牙齿zuì 最ruǎn 软de 的shì 是shétóu 舌头
The hardest are the teeth and the softest is the tongue.
