'Happiness, then, is the best, noblest, and most pleasant thing in the world.' In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle's guiding question is: what is the best thing for a human being? His answer is happiness, but he means, not something we feel, but rather a specially good kind of life. Happiness is made up of activities in which we use the best human capacities, both ones that contribute to our flourishing as members of a community, and ones that allow us to engage in god-like contemplation. Contemporary ethical writings on the role and importance of the moral virtues such as courage and justice have drawn inspiration from this work, which also contains important discussions on responsibility for actions, on the nature of practical reasoning, and on friendship and its role in the best life. This new edition retains and lightly revises David Ross's justly admired translation. It also includes a valuable introduction to this seminal work, and notes designed to elucidate Aristotle's arguments. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

这本书的编排非常好，很明晰，而且后面的注对理解也非常有帮助。就是正文的英语太多插入语，读得费劲。。

大概是英文本里面目前为止为数不多看过的古希腊方向吧。（第二自然到底是怎么出来的？

英文不行的我一上来看这种真的很吃力，沉没在每个字句的意思中而对整体脉络丝毫没有感觉，复习的时候乖乖去读中文了……大量复杂的从句导致我必须用笔划分句子结构才能读下去（因此好像对读其他论文和日常英语的能力没有多大提高，因为写法实在不太一样），另外virtue、reason这种词既是概念术语又在论证中作为日常逻辑用语使用，不知道是只能翻译成这样还是有改进的可能……

这一轮给学生用这个译本，我自己这遍读着非常喜欢，虽然有些地方需要考虑其他译本，但总体来说在哲学（准确性和可理解性）和文字（可读性）两方面达到了较好的平衡。从学生的角度来看，感觉比Reeve的好上手，比Irwin保留了更多解读的可能性。大概比较适合第一遍或第二遍读NE的童鞋使用～

英文看了一遍竟然没留下什么印象....大概还是不习惯这种从句比较复杂的翻译吧。。 到头来还是读了中译本上手。
