文言文翻译成英语的书有什么推荐的吗

Answer 1

推荐许渊冲翻译的中国古代诗词，在准确表达意思的基础上还有押韵，非常厉害。书可以找到不同的版本。
这里给出一些例子：
关雎

关关雎鸠,
在河之洲.
窈窕淑女,
君子好逑.
Cooing And Wooing
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
By riverside are cooing
A pair of turtledoves;
A good young man is wooing
A fair maiden he loves.

A great wind rises, oh! The clouds are driven away.
I come to my native land, oh! Now the world is under my sway.
Where can I brave men, oh! To guard my four frontiers today!

I could pull mountains down, oh! With main and might,
But my good fortune wanes, oh! My steed won’t fight.
Whether my steed will fight, oh! I do not care.
What can I do with you, oh! My lady fair!
