和他1961年的《中國大史家司馬遷的史記選譯》Records of the Grand Historian of China, 1961

當時，台灣盜印普遍，所以

• Records of the Grand Historian of China, 1961
• Ssu-ma Ch'ien, Grand Historian of China, 1958

都有翻印。

哈佛的名漢學家楊聯陞在 HARVARD ASIAITIC JOURNAL都有書評，漢譯可參考楊聯陞《漢學書評》(北京：商務印書館，2016)。

當時台灣梁容若教授主編的《書和人》也從日本選兩篇書評翻譯：

1.

 2. 今鷹真〈評美國瓦特遜著《司馬遷傳》和《史記》英譯 〉，陳淑女翻譯

楊聯陞在Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies Vol. 21, Dec., 1958 發表兩篇書評，上文
說的說的評Ssu-ma Ch'ien, Grand Historian of China by Burton Watson ，比起下篇，在質與量都比不上這篇：Chinese Porcelains From The Ardebil Shrine by John Alexander Pope (pp. 214-220)

世界陶瓷史很複雜，楊聯陞日文水準和哈佛大學的藏書，才可能讓他大力發揮綜合、評論。
