『論語』は邦訳がたくさんあるので何も英訳を読む必要はないのですが、英訳のほうがかえってわかりやすいこともあります。たとえば、「巧言令色」の邦訳は、「ことば上手の顔よし」、「弁舌さわやかに表情たっぷり」などいろいろですが、これがどうしていけないのかよくわからない。Legge 訳の fine words and an insinuating appearance のほうが、猫なで声でお世辞笑いしているイメージが鮮明です。
本書は、西洋人支那学者による『論語』の本格的な註釈書です。頁は大きく三分されていて、上段は論語の原文。句読点はついていますが、大きな活字を使った縦書き。中段はその英訳。もちろん横書き。下段は註ですが、虫めがねがないと読めないぐらい小さい字の英文に大きな漢字が混じっている。印刷屋の苦労がしのばれます。初版は1892年。いまだに版を重ねている優れ物です。巻末には、索引のほか、漢字辞典、コンコーダンスを兼ねた漢字表（部首別）がついていますので、漢字の古い英語表記を知るのに便利です。

Essential if you are serious about Confucius

The other reviews on this page are quite insightful; I have a few more comments:
1. Modern readers tend not to be enamored of Legge's prose, but it has its own coherence and merit. What is most remarkable, however, is the accuracy of his translations, in view of their date. You may not agree with his views and interpretations; you may not like his phraseology; but he simply does not make mistakes. His translations are supported by copious (if dense) footnotes that explain the rationale behind his translating decisions. (To be sure, these notes are intended for highly informed readers.) You can never say that Legge is wrong; you can say that you prefer to read the text a different way.
2. A point that no one seems to have made: one advantage of this edition is that it is one of the few available in the West with the complete Chinese text.
In sum: this is a reasonably priced paperback that includes the original Chinese text and the first great Western translation of the Analects. If you are serious about Confucius, you cannot ignore this book.

After You've Read the Other Translations, Try This One
2001/11/7
By Thomas F. Ogara

形式:ペーパーバック
There are lots of good reasons to condemn Legge's translations of the Chinese classics to the graveyard of moribund scholarship. He's barely readable - yes, it's true. Legge was no giant of the written word when he did these translations to begin with, and the passage of time has made the phrasing seem so archaic that you wonder if he was trying to sound unintelligible even when he wrote it.
Legge also uses a transliteration system that is so eccentric as to be indecipherable if you are trying to trace out the actual sounds of the Chinese words. The reason for this seems to be that the pronunciation of Chinese has changed sufficiently to make his transliteration obsolete.
But Legge has one advantage that no other translator had, or ever can have again. He did his translations when the Confucian scholarly tradition was still alive in China, and as a result he could consult with scholars within this tradition to determine the meaning of the phrases as they were understood in the traditional context. It's a little like having an erudite clergyman explain the meaning of a phrase in the Bible rather than an archeologist - while both explanations are valid in their own way, the clergyman's explanation will indicate a living belief rather than a dissection.
And that is Legge's great value. Most Chinese language scholars will give him a nod, even today. For the beginner, he's not a good place to start, admittedly. But he has his virtues.

the best single translation and commentary on subject

I have read the entire book for a doctoral research project. There simply is no other Author that even comes close to offering such execellent commentary on the confucian classics. He references many of the ancient and more recent Chinese commentators in his footnotes. Very comprehensive. He gives you both the Chinese original and then the English translation with the commentary translated into English. If you want to better understand the Chinese and where they come from, Legges translations of the Chinese classics is a must.Ray
