4月15日，这部电视剧的导演杨洁去世了。但如她所愿，她的工作将“永远停留”。

So what has made Journey to the West a great TV series？Good acting may be one of the reasons. Yang Jie picked actors carefully. She went across the country to find talented play actors， screen actors， opera actors and even students. Liu Xiao Ling Tong played Monkey King in the series. He acted exactly like a monkey！ Before that， he played a monkey in Peking Opera for years.

是什么让《西游记》成为一部经典的电视剧呢？良好的表演可能是原因之一。导演杨洁选演员很仔细。她在全国各地寻找有才华的演员、银幕演员、戏剧演员，甚至学生。六小龄童在剧中扮演孙悟空，他演得完全像一只猴子！在演孙悟空之前，他就在京剧里扮演了好几年的猴子。

Besides （除了） the acting， the series also has lively lines （生动的台词）. It changed some lines in the book and made the roles （角色） more real. In the book， Red Boy asked Guanyin“Are you the help of Sun Xingzhe（你是孙行者请来的救兵吗）”. In the drama， the line became “Are you the help of the monkey （你是猴子请来的救兵吗）”. It shows how cocky （自大的） Red Boy is！

除了良好的表演，这部剧还有生动活泼的台词。它改变了小说中的一些台词，使角色更加真实立体。在小说中，红孩儿问观音的话是：“你是孙行者请来的救兵吗？”而在剧中，这句话变成了：“你是猴子请来的救兵吗？”这句话突出显示了红孩儿的傲慢、自大！

All these things made the TV series a classic （经典）. To many， it is like a good friend. And it will always be！

所有这些都让这部电视剧成为了经典。对许多人来说，它就像一个好朋友，并且将永远是好朋友！
