“信”包含于儒家的伦理范畴，是儒家文化中实现“仁”、“义”等道德规约的必备条件，同时与“诚”、“义”意义相近互通，是儒家传统文化中道德修养的内容之一。《说文解字》中对“信”的解释为：诚也，从人从言，会意。本义为“诚实”、“讲信用”，这也是《论语》中“信”所使用的核心义项。而在英语中，由于东西方文化的差异性，在对《论语》中“信”的翻译在不同意识形态操控下呈现出了多样性，鉴于翻译这一行为在文化交流中的重要作用，本文认为有必要对《论语》英译本中对“信”的翻译进行甄别，以便真实、准确地传播传统儒家文化。

“XIN”belongs to confucians’ethic category, has a similar meaning with“CHENG”and“YI”, which contributes to the realization of “REN”and “YI”. Shuowenjiezi interprets “XIN”as “honest”and“trustworthy”, and this is the very meaning which exists in the Analectes. However, due to the dissimilarity between the Eastern and Western cultures, there are various translations of “XIN” in English.Considering the importance of translation in cross-cultural communication, it is necessary to examin and distinguish the translations among the different versions.
