除非你真的手头紧，否则我强烈建议你买一本靠谱的英译本。糟糕的翻译完全是灾难。关于塞内卡的著作，我推荐这几本：
→《Letters on Ethics》（芝加哥大学出版社）——我认为这是权威英译本，由两位顶级学者 Margaret Graver 和 A. A. Long 操刀。这本收录了全部 124 篇信件
Unless you absolutely cannot afford to, I firmly suggest to invest in a solid English translation. A bad translation is a deal breaker. For Seneca's works, I recommend these:

They may eventually do a one or two volume "best of" compilation…
