浅论沙僧

On monk Sha

前往西天取经的唐僧师徒四人中最不起眼,最不受人注目的是沙僧。评论家对他往往仅提其名而不论其事,关注的是三藏、悟空和八戒。在他们看来,沙僧在小说中最没有个性,属于那种可以忽略不计的人物。于此作者从沙僧的君子风范、心诚志坚、藏拙与圆通、义重情深等几方面对沙僧其人进行探讨,以明确他在取经途中的重要作用。

Monk Sha is the most common one of four teachers and prentices who go for lections in the west. For most people monk Sha is a man whom they sometimes may speak of but never want to know more about. In critics＇ opinion, Monk Tang, Monkey King and and Pig are the focus whom they pay much attention to, while Monk Sha is the one who doesn＇t have personality at all. He is even such person that can be ignored. But is it the truth？ Next, I＇ll discuss Monk Sha in several aspects：gentleman＇s manner, whole heartedness and strong will, hiding his inadequacy freasuring affections and personal loyalty to nail down his important part in the hard long- distance trip to the west.
