译文注解、简称和其他相关内容说明

1. 在本书中《晏子春秋》的书名简称为“YZCQ”。

2. 本书每一段英文翻译之前都列有《晏子春秋》简体字原文，原文依据的是先秦两汉古籍逐字索引丛刊史部第四种《晏子春秋逐字索引》，刘殿爵、陈方正主编，香港商务印书馆1993年11月第一版。该索引可以在线浏览和检索，请搜索汉达文库，网址链接：http://www. cuhk.edu.hk/ics/rccat/en/database.htm l

3. 先秦两汉古籍逐字索引丛刊史部第四种《晏子春秋逐字索引》所依据的底本是《四部丛刊》本（此后简称SBCK）《晏子春秋》，该版本又是依据“仁和丁松生八千卷楼藏明活字本”影印。《晏子春秋逐字索引》中列出了不同版本《晏子春秋》和其他古籍中引用的《晏子春秋》的异文。在《晏子春秋逐字索引》中，圆括号“（）”中的内容代表衍文，应当删除；方括号“[ ]”中的内容代表脱文，应该增补。因此，如果表示应该将“X”删除，将“Y”增补，那么在文中会表示成（X）[Y]。在我的译文中，如果对《晏子春秋逐字索引》的文本有不同意见从而有所改变，我会在注解中特别注明，并将它们的文献依据注在括号中。

4. 在本书中，如果采用《晏子春秋逐字索引》注解中所做的校勘，我会在译文的注解中简称为“YZCQ-ICS”并附录页码注解号码，例如“YZCQ-ICS,9,n.2”的意思是请参见《晏子春秋逐字索引》第9页注2.

6. 除特别注明之外，本书所用先秦两汉文献均依据刘殿爵、陈方正主编的由香港商务印书馆1992年以来出版的“先秦两汉古籍逐字索引丛刊”。本书在引用时，会在书名后面附录卷数、页码、行数：比如“Mozi 墨子，8.3/54/25”，指“先秦两汉古籍逐字索引丛刊”《墨子逐字索引》，第8卷第3节，第54页，第25行。

7. 本书所涉及的基本历史，依据中华书局1959年至1974年陆续出版的《二十四史》点校本。
