《史记·八书·历书》
天下治理得好，历法就不会乱了次第；天下混乱，连诸侯也不会执行王者的历法。
天下有道，则不失纪序；无道，则正朔不行於诸侯。
If the world is well-governed, the calendar will not lose its order; if the world is in chaos, even the vassals will not execute the King's calendar.

**Step 1:**
**Original Text**: 天下有道，则不失纪序；无道，则正朔不行於诸侯。
**Literal Translation**: The world has the Way, then it will not lose its order; the world has no Way, then the true calendar will not be executed by the feudal lords.

**Step 2:**
**Adjustment**:
- "天下有道： the world has the Way" -> "If the world is well-governed"
- "则" -> "then"
- "正朔" ->  "the true calendar"
- "不行於諸侯" -> "will not be executed by the feudal lords"

**Step 3:**
**Adjusted Translation**: If the world is well-governed, then it will not lose its order; if the world is in chaos, then even the vassals will not execute the King's calendar.

**Final English translation**: If the world is well-governed, the calendar will not lose its order; if the world is in chaos, even the vassals will not execute the King's calendar.</s>
