If the original text is annotated, you can save yourself the time of looking it up in the dictionary and read it more easily.
For those who have a poor foundation in classical Chinese and just want to know the content quickly, you can refer to it. For those who have studied deeply, it is best not to look at translation. There are two advantages of not reading translation: first, not being misled. All translations have their own limitations. Although most of them are accurate, they will lose their original flavor. Second, it is not conducive to improving your reading ability. Classical Chinese looks difficult to understand. Continue to read by yourself. Read more books and your reading ability will improve quickly.
The best assistant for reading ancient Chinese is a dictionary.
