色即是空,空即是色

Don't care for worldly affairs because it is hollow.
However we can live carefree;we have known it is illusory.

色即是空可能指以下其中一个意思:

1. 佛教用语,沿自《般若波罗密多心经》,前后数句是:“色不异空,空不异色;色即是空,空即是色。”空,表示少,虚无,没有等抽象概念;色,空的对立面,表示多,现实,存在。 “色即是空,空即是色”包含了事物相互转化的哲学道理。 注:现代人对这里的‘色’常误解为色情的意思,是对原文的曲解。

Your understanding of the source text seems not so correct.

Try to study more about what the ST really means before translating it.
