‘道’是有灵性的能量，化身于宇宙万物之中。宇宙大爆炸后所出现的宇宙，乃是由能量所变现出来的，符合道德经里的‘道’。英文没有相对的词，耶经里面有‘太初有道’的‘道’，但这不是同一个意义，耶经里面这个‘道’，若审查其拉丁字义，乃是‘概念’，神形成一个物件的‘概念’后，就由这概念化成实物。因此，耶稣乃是神所形成的一个人身肉体的概念，再由这概念化成耶稣，那就是所谓‘道成肉身’的意义。英文的道，是由中文音译而来：‘Tao’。

The Taoist Road 道教的道道的根本 我们中国最早谈道的经典《简易道德经》里所述：“简，道之根。易，经之本。道，事物之行径。经，事物之步法。无简之道则曲，无易之经则荒。简生道，道法于自然，失道无恒，循道而长。”说明了，简是自然现象所依的最基本规律。道以这个规律为根本就成了事物的行径。这个行径即有规则的道。不是以简为根本的行径是曲折的。所以，正直的道就是出于简即为简生道，道的动作方法依赖于自然，取决自然就是真正的道。事物要是没有这个道，就不会永远地生存下去。要是遵循这个道，不但能长久地发展而且还会不地增长壮大。 道，无形无象，无声无嗅，大而无外，小而无内，但却是产生天地万物，主宰天地万物的总能源。 道，又名真空、性、灵、炁、金丹、佛性，在不同的宗教和经典里，名称叫法不一，但本质指的都是一个。 道是产生一切形式的根本，也是主宰一切形式的根本。人们唯有去除一切的形式，才能够见道，此谓“为道日损”。可惜的是，当今大多的修道者和学术研究者，不是“为道日损”，而是“为道日增”，总想通过有为的方式，形式上的手段认识和了解大道，如此只能背道而驰。

抽象的“道”可以有无数译法。 但“道可道，非常道”里面的道， 已经专有化， 直译成Tao即可。 而这句名言则译成：The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.

道——“the way”
德——“the power of the way”
英文版《道德经》封面
中英文对照如下：
第一章
道，可道，非恒道。名，可名，非恒名。无名，天地之始；有名，万物之母。故常无欲，以观其妙；常有欲，以观其徼。此两者同出而异名，同谓之玄。玄之又玄，众妙之门。
The Way that can be told of is not an Unvarying Way; The names that can be named are not unvarying names. It was from the Nameless that Heaven and Earth sprang;
The named is but the mother that rears the ten thousand creatures, each after its kind. Truly, ―Only he that rids himself forever of desire can see the Secret Essences‖;He that has never rid himself of desire can see only the Outcomes.
These two things issued from the same mould, but nevertheless are different in name. This ―same mould‖ we can but call the Mystery,Or rather the ―Darker than any Mystery‖,The Doorway whence issued all Secret Essences.
三十八章
上德不德，是以有德；下德不失德，是以无德。上德无为而无以为；下德无为而有以为。上仁为之而无以为；上义为之而有以为。上礼为之而莫之应，则攘臂而扔之。故失道而后德，失德而后仁，失仁而后义，失义而后礼。夫礼者，忠信之薄，而乱之首。前识者，道之华，而愚之始。是以大丈夫居其厚，不居其薄；居其实，不居其华。故去彼取此。
The man of highest ―power‖ does not reveal himself as a possessor of ―power‖; Therefore he keeps his ―power‖.
The man of inferior ―power‖ cannot rid it of the appearance of ―power‖; Therefore he is in truth without ―power‖.
The man of highest ―power‖ neither acts nor is there any who so regards him; The man of inferior ―power‖ both acts and is so regarded. The man of highest humanity, though he acts, is not regarded;
Whereas a man of even the highest morality both acts and is so regarded; While even he who is best versed in ritual not merely acts, But if people fail to respond
Then he will pull up his sleeves and advance upon them. That is why it is said:
“After Tao was lost, then came the 'power';
After the 'power' was lost, then came human kindness.‖ After human kindness was lost, then came morality, After morality was lost, then came ritual.
Now ritual is the mere husk of loyalty and promise-keeping And is indeed the first step towards brawling.‖ Foreknowledge may be the ―flower of doctrine‖, But it is the beginning of folly.
Therefore the full-grown man takes his stand upon the solid substance And not upon the mere husk,
Upon the fruit and not upon the flower. Truly, ―he reject that and takes this‖.
