Jason et al... I find this translation OK for my usage. It has a paragraph of

characters alternating with the English translation. This is a description from

Wikipedia. Written by a CHAer?

 

Yellow Empero's [sic] Canon of Internal Medicine (stated to be Wang Bing's

version, but a quick examination shows it to appear to be identical to the

authoritative version, but without the commentary), translated by Nelson

Liansheng Wu and Andrew Qi Wu. China Science & Technology Press, Beijing, China,

1999, 831 pages. ISBN 7-5046-2231-1. Complete translation of both Suwen and

Lingshu. Contains the Neijing text in simplified Chinese characters, along with

alternate variants of Neijing text (also in simplified characters). The

alternate variants of the Neijing are not translated, only the main version is

translated. None of the commentary by Wang Bing is translated. Incorrectly

translated in places along with additional " commentary " inserted into the

translation, but not labeled as such. No notes. Credentials: unknown.

Doug,

 

 

 

This text is nice because it contains the characters, but I have found it

extremely inaccurate. So I agree with the below description, " Incorrectly

translated in places along with additional " commentary " inserted into the

translation, but not labeled as such.

 

 

 

However, one will also notice that it just omits sentences/passages often

throughout the text. Anything that is " Englished [sic] by " must be

questioned. But it is definitely better than nothing.

Oh well, as I say for my purposes, getting in the ballpark of the translation

and then being able to look up the actual characters make it useful.
