前言

The Analects, known as a classic on Confucius' teachings and experiences, was compiled by his disciples and second-generation disciples during the Spring and Autumn Period （722－480BC） in Chinese history. It is comprised of 20 separate "books", which are broken down into 492 passages. Though many of the passages are short, they often carry profound meaning.For more than two thousand years, The Analects and Confucian thought have had an immeasurable impact on the Chinese people and Chinese culture. Confucian tradition constitutes the core and bedrock of the Chinese civilization, consistently making an impact on the development of China throughout history. Though Chinese students today no longer recite the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucian thought is still subtly influencing the ethos of the Chinese people. Confucianism is still very much alive with its positive values concerning society and ethics.

章節(jié)摘錄

插圖：1, Junzi （君子） literally means "son of the ruler', and therefore refers to a member of the aristocracy. In The Analects, the term was used by Confucius to describe his ideal person, the type who through self-improvement, becomes superior in ethics, gains peace of mind and there- fore is fit to govern. To Confucius, people of low social ranks but willing to study and improve themselves can become junzi, whereas those scholars who are morally unfit cannot, thus giving the term strong ethical implications. Junzi has been translated as gentleman, but he is not the gentleman as used in today's English. In the present translation, I am using a "man of honor' to emphasize the difference and denote its ethical character.2, Xiaoren （小人） literally means the common people, but Confucius used it mostly to refer to those who had petty interest in mind. In this translation, I am using "petty minded people", and only occasionally "petty people" Here again, "petty-mindedness" has an ethical implication.3, Shi （士） refers to the lowest echelon of the aristocracy. With their knowledge, they could become officials when they enjoyed the appreciation of the rulers. But then, the majority would retain their original status. Here I am following the traditional English rendition "scholar' to simplify matters.

媒體關(guān)注與評論

As the translator of this book not only has an excellent command of the English language but is well accomplished in the study of Chinese and Western comparative culture, this translation of The Analects is easy to read and understand without missing the book's essence. The introduction and synopses for the different chapters will help the reader's understanding of Confucius and provide him or her with a deeper impression of Chinese traditional and current culture.　　——Zhao Qizheng Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the CPPCC，President of Journalism School of Renmin UniversityMr. Lin Wusun is one of the few scholars in China who knows both Chinese and Western cultures well and is versed in the English language. To render a Chinese classic into a foreign language is a for midable task and to make the translation easily understood by a reader of a different culture is even more difficult. Wusun has done it. His translation of Confucius Analects will help readers understand better Confucius philosophy and serve as a bridge between the Chinese and other cultures.　　——Wu Jianmin Professor and Former President of China Foreign Affairs UniversityLin Wusun brings outstanding knowledge of English and of Western thought to his translation of TheAnalects, producing a result that is sensitive to Western readers' thinking as he conveys Confucius' teachings and wisdom. This is, therefore, a very welcome addition to the body of works available in English on Confucius' philosophy and teachings.　　——Dr. Ken Lieberthal Director of the John L Thornton China Center and senior fellow in Foreign Policy and Global Economy and Development at Brookings InstituteThis is the most authoritative translation to come from China. Together with the Introduction, the translator, who is a leading scholar on comparative studies of Chinese and Western philosophies, guides the reader through the essence of Chinese thought against the background of Western philosophy.　　——Huang Youyi Vice President of Federation of International Translators
