Title: Syntax
Review: Compared with other translations of Confucius this one suffers from a singular handicap. The syntax of the English translation is simply not English. I assume that it attempts to mimic the Chinese syntax, but the effect is to render most of the passages nearly unreadable for an English speaking reader. Unless you need to have the original Chinese on hand, this book is inferior to most of the others I have read.
