关于本书
《最新英文全译全注本》是吴国珍先生继2012年出版的《最新英文全译全注本》之后的又一力作,也是他2005年退休后殚精竭虑英译“四书”的又一重要成果。为使英译忠于原文,作者首先精心打造出全新的、公允而平白的古文今译,而英译方面,则能秉承专家对其《论语》英译所作的“准确、简练、通俗、地道”的一贯风格,打造出清新、流畅、简约、准确的全新译文。此书在对外推介时,专家的评语是:“吴老师的《孟子》英译,同样是下足了功夫:他的‘孟子年表’、‘孟子思想介绍’和每一章所包含的诸多历史背景故事的详细注释,全部以英文呈现,对目标读者可谓贡献良多;他的正文英译,更能体现原文特有的韵味。我读吴老师的英译,第一印象是行文干净利落、语言准确道地、表意简洁流畅,并时能感受到书中原本就有的那种令人荡气回肠的韵味,这对于本应是枯燥乏味的典籍英译来说是很难得的。”本书末添加一“索引”,让所有《孟子》名句全在读者的掌握之中,堪称又一亮点。
