摘　　要：典籍有别于一般文本,典籍英译离不开两种注释:典籍旧注和译文加注。时代隔阂导致典籍难读,旧注沟通古今,是译者解读原著之重要门径。典籍英译,旨在实现跨文化交流,仅靠译文,潜在"语义真空"难以有效填补,丰富文化信息难以充分传递,多层文义内涵难以全面展示;适当加注,则利于实现"文化传真"。《尚书》素称"佶屈聱牙",在学术史上最为复杂,理雅各融合众多旧注成果,采用深度翻译策略,较好地实现了"文化传真",堪称典籍译作之经典。Two kinds of annotations are indispensable in translating ancient Chinese classics into English：the annotations by the experts on those ancient classics,to be studied by the translator at the comprehension stage of the translation;and the annotations given by the translator him-/herself in the translated texts,for the benefit of the readers.Legge employs what Appiah calls＂Thick Translation＂ in his rendering of Shangshu,the most ancient and complicated Chinese classic,and achieves great success.We have every reason to say that he has set a brilliant example for other translators of the ancient Chinese classics to follow.
