Review Quotes:
Interested readers may find this new translation of The Waste Land by Zhijian Tao very helpful.
Based on his research into history, religion and world literature, Zhijian Tao offers us a new version, making changes where he finds
incorrect translations, awkward interpretation and inadequate use of explanatory notes in the previous versions.
In addition, Zhijian makes a worthwhile effort to retain the rhythmic movements of the original poem without sacrificing literary accuracy, in contrast with versions that follow a literary translation approach.
很钦佩你的目标是让Waste Land 在中国有一个理解得最准确，最透彻，最神行相似，最流畅，最文采飞扬的译本。我觉得你前进了一大步，而这个进步应该足以使你的和你钦佩的巨人们的译本一起成为研究T.S. Eliot 的学子和学者的手边读物。
