...See, I see a leaf!
Immediately one thinks of a spearhead shaped thing,
outlined in black and filled in with flat green.
No leaf looks like that.
“No, leaves … leaves are not green.”
That's why Laozi said,
“The five colors make a man blind.
The five tones make a man deaf.”
Because if you can only see five colors, you are blind.
And if you can only hear five tones in music, you are deaf.
You see, if you, if you force sound into five tones, you force colors into five colors,
you're blind and deaf.
The world of color is infinite,
as is the world of sound.
And it is only through stopping fixing conceptions on the world of color and sound
that you really begin to hear it and see it.

[05:42.129]...See, I see a leaf!
[05:45.032]Immediately one thinks of a spearhead shaped thing,
[05:49.098]outlined in black and filled in with flat green.
[05:52.582]No leaf looks like that.
[05:55.474]“No, leaves … leaves are not green.”
[05:59.387]That's why Laozi said,
[06:00.735]“The five colors make a man blind.
[06:03.404]The five tones make a man deaf.”
[06:05.940]Because if you can only see five colors, you are blind.
[06:09.644]And if you can only hear five tones in music, you are deaf.
[06:14.273]You see, if you, if you force sound into five tones, you force colors into five colors,
[06:19.297]you're blind and deaf.
[06:21.620]The world of color is infinite,
[06:23.703]as is the world of sound.
[06:25.104]And it is only through stopping fixing conceptions on the world of color and sound
[06:31.297]that you really begin to hear it and see it.

...看！我看到一片叶子。
人们立刻想到一个尖头形状的东西，
有着黑色轮廓，填满平坦的绿色。
但没有叶子看起来那样。
“不，叶子……叶子不是完全的绿。”
这就是老子所说的：
“五色令人目盲；
五音令人耳聋。”
因为如果你只能看到五种颜色，你就盲目了。
如果你只能在音乐中听到五种音调，你就失聪了。
你看，如果你强行将声音压缩成五种音调、强迫颜色仅限于五种颜色，
你就是盲目的、失聪的。
色彩的世界是无限的，
声音的世界也同样如此。
只有停止对色彩和声音的固定观念，
你才能真正开始听见它、看见它。
