Yes, that would certainly be a good - and subjective - list-shortening method. But I just meant 'translation' literally - translating into English from the original Chinese - like Legge, Rutt, Wilhelm, Lynn, Wu Jing Nuan... . Doesn't mean that other books are not useful, or not making original contributions, only that they're not translations. (Hope it doesn't, anyway, as I can hardly call myself a translator.)
So, like, do your own thing, man
Translation's too hard!
Having a conversation with Frank is like getting athlete's foot
and it spreads from thread to thread. I need a good fungicide.
Thank you - bookmarking.
54.3 - "When the bride-to-be seeks, it will be the little sister who is married instead."
- really? Very different. Seeking rather than waiting/ growing hair, and then a different woman altogether getting married...?

More like - Hilary is left wondering what this division into two women might mean.Hilary delightedly gets a new spin on her yearly reading !
I like it too !
I expect he thought fan meant 'instead'? Things are turned around, the situation is turned around, and then the younger sister marries instead of the bride?Well, that one sure ain't perfect. I wonder what he thought Fan meant. Or the two Yi's for that matter. I guess there are things to be said for being anal-retentive about the grammar, a discipline which would absolutely destroy Rutt.
Hm - I'm certainly familiar with the idea that the marrying maiden's 'lowering herself' when she shouldn't be. Agreed, that's one of those ideas that gets added by moral-happy people. But this translation seems to be implying that because she 'seeks' (or waits?) she loses and the other woman gains. Hence '??'....This translation takes a moral stand against the bride-to-me. But there is nothing in this hexagram to support such opprobrium. This moving line is Yin becoming Yang and hex 54.3>>34 this girl knows what she wants and gets it; changing her lowly status as Yin in hex 54 to the powerful 4-Yang line block of 34. Wilhelm also notes that this girl by her efforts raises her status to the highest available. Like the Jamaican slave girls who by bearing children by their white British masters started their family on the road to becoming Colin Powell and Malcolm Gladwell.
This is an idiosyncratic translation expressing the author's views and prejudice not the essence of the Yi or its text. Your question marks are far more accurate then this new text.

On the positive side, at least the marrying maiden isn't growing a beard.

Creative endeavors in any and all fields share the magic and the joy of their creativity. The work details are just puzzles to solve and burdens to carry over the mountains and rivers to bring them home to share them with the Universe.
