Journey to the West in Plain Language

Although "Journey to the West" and Sun Wukong have become household names, not everyone can read the original work. My goal is: after finishing the second grade of elementary school, I can successfully read my "Journey to the West in Vernacular". At the beginning, I translated "Journey to the West" with the attitude of giving it a try, and I planned to translate it literally. Now I have finished the first translation. It is not entirely a literal translation. It can be regarded as a clever integration of my own feelings after reading "Journey to the West" into the translation: I am quite satisfied with this method so far. The goal has changed: it should still be a little difficult for second-grade students to read, but it will definitely not be a problem for third-grade students. Currently, I have translated the appendix between the eighth and ninth chapters of the original work. Overall, I am quite satisfied with it, so I often give myself likes, send flowers, and send messages to support! Compared with other translations of Journey to the West, my translation has the following characteristics: One is to dismantle each episode. Except for the first three chapters, each subsequent chapter is broken down into three chapters: upper, middle and lower. Each chapter has been re-titled with a more appropriate title. The second is to turn long paragraphs into short paragraphs that are popular in novels now; The third is to do something and not do something. Something to do: For the overly simplified storyline, supplements were made based on the translation and combined with the socio-economic life and humanistic habits when the story took place. What we don't do: Poems and parallel prose are basically not translated to avoid losing their original flavor; however, some fine-tuning has been made to make them easier to understand. The fourth is to explain some of the puzzling or unexplainable aspects, and to round them out by adding plot points.

It should be the best vernacular version of Journey to the West that I have ever read, although the author has not finished it yet. The translation is quite accurate and the author's writing style is also very good. The author's understanding of some controversial issues is also reasonable. So I recommend this book to everyone!
