意味

Collection of sayings; analects; recorded utterances. A compiled record of the notable words and teachings of a thinker, master, or historical figure.

A noun for a genre of text that records the sayings and teachings of an eminent person, similar in concept to the English 'analects.' The most famous example is the 論語 (Analects of Confucius). In modern usage, 語録 can refer to any collected quotations — from a business leader's speeches to a famous writer's aphorisms — reflecting an interest in preserving significant utterances for posterity.
