Abstract

Weapons, magic and spells in Journey to the West not only play a crucial part in immortal-and-demon fights but also contain profound culture connotations which pose great difficulty to non-Chinese readers. This paper, by analyzing Jenner's English translation on weapons, magic and spells from the perspective of translation strategies, finds out that foreignization is the main means to deal with such alien items and cultural barriers alongside, thus facilitating the dissemination of Chinese culture into English-speaking countries and areas.
