Anthony C. Yu's celebrated translation of "The Journey to the West" reinvigorated one of Chinese literature's most beloved classics for English-speaking audiences when it first appeared thirty years ago. Yu's abridgment of his four-volume translation, "The Monkey and the Monk," finally distills the epic novel's most exciting and meaningful episodes without taking anything away from their true spirit.
These fantastic episodes recount the adventures of Xuanzang, a seventh-century monk who became one of China's most illustrious religious heroes after traveling for sixteen years in search of Buddhist scriptures. Powerfully combining religious allegory with humor, fantasy, and satire, accounts of Xuanzang's journey were passed down for a millennium before culminating in the sixteenth century with "The Journey to the West." Now, readers of "The Monkey and the Monk" can experience the full force of his lengthy quest as he travels to India with four animal disciples, most significant among them a guardian-monkey known as "the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven." Moreover, in its newly streamlined form, this acclaimed translation of a seminal work of world literature is sure to attract an entirely new following of students and fans.
"A new translation of a major literary text which totally supersedes the best existing version. . . . It establishes beyond contention the position of "The Journey to the West" in world literature, while at the same time throwing open wide the doors to interpretive study on the part of the English audience."--"Modern Language Notes," on the unabridged translation

读后感
梁实秋说：有个性就可爱。 二师兄很呆。 五庄观内，猴子三人偷吃人参果，怒摧人参树。清风明月正面交涉无果，惟恐力敌不过，于是哄骗师徒四人入房用膳后迅速反锁。此时，八戒一边狼吞虎咽，一边笑道：“这童子差了。你这里风俗不好，却怎的关了门里吃饭？”——有这样的风俗...
评分 评分我没有看完过《西游记》这本书。鄙人看过《吴承恩小传》，百花文艺出版社80年代的版本。根据作者考证，吴承恩是1504年生人，江苏淮安县人。吴承恩写西游记的时候大约是中年四十多岁，父亲已经故去，吴承恩那时候还没有做官，一直科举考不上进士，属于当时社会的边缘人，不过他...
评分四大名著已看完水浒和西游记了。感觉水浒更白话，里面对人物的描写占大头，故事性更强。西游记里对景观的描写占大头，还有许多佛理性的描写，故事性稍逊。两本书对我来说都有些涩，对许多文言文诗句是一知半解，可是还是坚持读完了。 西游记里着重刻画了孙悟空、唐僧、猪...

翻译的不怎么样的...转译太多了，太符合英文语境了，什么your majesty的词根本无法体会神魔小说的魅力
评分借着中国历史课的机缘终于读完了英文缩减版的西游记，凑合着中文版一起读着感觉还不错呢。在英文版里很多人物都失去了幼年动画里那种调皮捣蛋的形象，显得极为严肃和真实人，而本书的删节也将孙悟空的形象更好的放大和突出，何谓真大圣，相比愚昧的唐僧不知有趣好玩多少。虽然内心抵触很多诗词、术语的翻译，但也知道外人能翻译出来实属不易。越是读越是感觉到中文与中华文化的博大精深吧，也只能感慨到这种程度了 Truly Impressed Me. Christine.
