“穷则变，变则通，通则久。”如何翻译？

“穷”在易经的本意并非“贫穷”而是到了某一极限，到了尽头。

按易经的原文翻译：
Any circumstance hitting a limit will begin to change. Change will in turn lead to an unimpeded state, and then lead to continuity.

若“穷”理解成“丧失”或“贫乏”，可以翻译成如下。
Deprivation leads to changes, changes in turn lead to finding a way out, and in turn becomes sustainable.

Poor want to change,

change to pass,

pass will long.

Poor then change, improvise then, the general rule is long
