自然的范圍廣大無(wú)邊，稀疏而不會(huì)有一點(diǎn)漏失。天網(wǎng)，即自然之范圍，后比喻國(guó)法。“天網(wǎng)恢恢，疏而不漏”引申為雖然法律規(guī)定寬緩，卻不會(huì)遺漏有罪之人?，F(xiàn)在多用來(lái)警告那些企圖違反法律的人。

Nature is like an all-encompassing net; sparsely meshed as it is, nothing can slip through it.The net of heaven, or the scope of nature, is later used figuratively to refer to the law of the state. This concept indicates that no one would get away with a guilty deed though the law may be lenient. Nowadays, it is usually used to warn people against tendencies to violate the law.

引例 Citation

（自然的規(guī)律，是不爭(zhēng)攘而善于得勝，不說(shuō)話而善于回應(yīng)，不召喚而自動(dòng)來(lái)到，寬緩而善于籌策。自然的范圍廣大無(wú)邊，稀疏而不會(huì)有一點(diǎn)漏失。）

The heavenly way is good at conquering without strife, responding without words, making its appearance without call, and achieving results without obvious design. The heaven’s net is endless, with big meshes, yet letting nothing slip through. (Laozi)
