Abstract: As a leading figure in the field of American Sinology, Stephen H. West has translated more than ten classic Chinese operas, among which The Story of the Western Wing is the most representative one. Based on Yues block-printed edition of the book in the Hongzhi Period of the Ming Dynasty, his translation achieved faithfulness of both the content and form, and through which readers feel the poetic characteristics and aesthetic traditions of the original text in a pleasant way. When translating classic operas, Stephen H. West attaches great importance to the selection of the script, and at the same time is dedicated to reproducing the specific historical context and scenes of the text. His translation and research have played an important role in promoting Chinese opera in the west.
