　汉译英

“虚”指世界或者心灵的一种状态。大体有两种不同的含义：其一，指世界的本原，万物皆由虚无中来。但古人对“虚”的这一含义又有不同理解：或认为“虚”就是空虚乌有;或认为“虚”指“气”的存在状态，因为“气”的存在隐微无形，故以“虚”称之，但并非完全空无。其二，指虚静的或没有成见的内心状态。

Xu refers to a state of the cosmos or a state of mind. Basically, it has two

different meanings. The first refers to the origin of the universe, indicating

that everything originates from xu, Different ancient thinkers have different

interpretations of this notion: Some take xu as being devoid of anything; others

believe it is the state of existence of qi (气). Because qi is invisible and

formless, It is said to be empty, but not a vacuum totally devoid of anything.

The second meaning of xu refers to a state of mind that is peaceful, not

preoccupied or simply free of any preconceptions.
