《淮南子》成书于西汉初年，迟至1884年才出现零星英语节译；及至1995年美国学者约翰·梅杰正式领衔组建翻译团队，着手翻译这部博大精深的典籍，前后历时十五载，于2010年出版英语世界的第一部全译本，于2012年出版其精华版。全译本在提供相对准确可信译文的同时，还为有效阅读提供了译本序言、篇章导言、书后附录及索引等———这种“精准全译+充分配备”的译本模式对传统典籍翻译与出版颇有启迪。

Compiled during the early Western Han Dynasty, the Huainanzi!was partially translated into English in 1884, and completely in 2010, with The Essential Huainanzi!in 2012. The first English version of the Huainanzi is the fifteen-years' achievement of the team lead by John S. Major, offering the accurate and faithful translation, and providing foreign readers with the introduction of the Huainanzi, the foreword of each chapter, the appendix and the index-such a model of the accurate-translation-plus-full supplement version greatly gives edification in terms of translating and publishing the Chinese classics.
