Features: In the 1980s, when I still lived in Wyoming, I once traveled to Seattle with my family. In a Chinese bookstore on Chinatown, I found a bilingual (Chinese-English) edition of "The Four Books" and was overjoyed. From then on, whenever I had free time, I would take out the book to read. Gradually, I discovered that the translator, James Legga, was a British missionary who came to China a hundred years earlier. His Victorian-style English was elegant, but it lacked freshness and fluency.
