What's the best translation of Either/Or?

Haven't read it yet but in light of two fairly commonly accepted axioms on lit:
1. Hong translated Kierkegaard is consistently excellent and by many considered to be the definitive translation
2. Penguin is iffy on translations of philosophy
I would go for the two volume Hong translation from Princeton unless money is an issue (Hong is 2 volumes totaling ~$60).

Both are on libgen I think.

Learn Danish as Rilke did, you filthy plebeian.
Never go penguin, Kostas.

I have hongs translation and it's solid. iirc Penguin's edition is abridged but I may be wrong. Buy them seperately - you may not want to read Or after Either (Either is considered the superior half). References Hegel a lot so may want to brush up on some of his writings beforehand.

Probably the Norwegian one.

Go for the Hong translation. I know that there are consistent inaccuracies and a new generation of translations reacting to it, but it is the standard edition for anyone working on Kierkey in English. It has the best scholarly apparatus, also, if that matters.

Norwegian and Danish are very close.
