What is the best translation of Tao Te Ching?
Or if there is no such thing as the best,then which one do you recommend?
I want to read it english,since it made me feel something so weird.

Cover doesn't matters as long as the content is fine.

A little bit of time on google says Stephen Mitchell's translation is pretty well liked but no idea if that's true. There was a thread about this a week or so ago where some anons talked about it so probably worth checking archives.

I liked it.I found it excellent
But reading an english translation sounds good in the case of ancient chinese philosophy,since it could change meaning úton útfélen.

Nem annyira rossz,bár nem tettem ki őket extrém körülményeknek.
A borítója kartonből van pl.tehát eléggé büdzsé kiadás.
De kibírnak 3-4 olvasást simán ha nem egy nemtörödőm gyökér vagy aki csak belebasz mindent a táskába.
De egy ezresért mit vársz?

It's essentially the same as Lao-Tzu
It's just a translation.Don't get mad over it.

AC Graham's is the best translation of Zhuangzi.

In fact, after googling, Victor Mair's looks like the best English translation.
