Title: Great Translation
Review: Actually I read this book in Chinese version for uncountable times, in general we, the Chinese, read it for fun without much rethinking on what is right and what is wrong. For me, I read it when my brain does not work so I would like something different to refresh my brain.This time, I read this novel in English version compared with Chinese version line by line. Actually I feel that the translator knows the Chinese language better than me, because many nuances, when I read in Chinese version I do not pay attention because of strange and unusual words, were translated. These translations even help me to better understand those Chinese words.It is a pity that many poems in Chinese version were not translated in English version, some of those poems in fact reflect what the authors considered the behaviors of protagonists and what the authors viewed on Chinese society. Certainly those poems are extremely difficult to translate.
