《西行漫记》原书名《红星照耀中国》,为什么译作此名?胡愈之曾经作过解释。他说:“因为在工农红军长征以后,关于我们党在西北情况的比较真实客观的报道,只有一本书:范长江同志写的《中国的西北角》……从此,‘西’或‘西北’就成了我们党听在地的代称。《西行漫记》这一书名,一般人看了就可以联想到我们党。”(胡愈之同志谈《西行漫记》中译本翻译出版情况,载人民出版社的《译讯》1979年第1期) The original title of “The Wourney to the West” original name “Red Star shines on China”, why translated for this name? Hu Yuzhi once explained. He said: “Because after the Long March of the Workers’ and Peasants Red Army, there was only one book about the comparatively true and objective reports of our party in the northwest:” The northwestern corner of China “written by Comrade Fan Changjiang ... From then on, the west or northwest ’Became the name of our party to listen to the land. ”The name of the westbound commentary“, most people can be reminded of our party read. ”(Comrade Hu Yu“ on the westbound comrade translation translation, People’s Publishing House contains the ”translation" 1979 the first period)
