解析

第一句

“Journey to the West” is probably the most influential one of the four classic novels in the Chinese literature and surely the most widely known novel at abroad.

句子结构方面:
并列句,用and连接。
句子主干:《西游记》是小说。

句型:
A be probably the most influential one of B. A也许是B中最具有影响力的一部。
A be the most widely known B A是最为广为人知的B。

词汇:
书名,英译时应该加书名号;
Chinese literature : 中国文学;
当然: surely,(容易忽略翻译);
在国外,at broad。

第二句

This novel depicts the hard journey that a famous monk, Hsuan-tsang, accopanied by three followers, travels through the western regions of China to India for Buddhist scripture.

句子结构方面:
that引导的同位语从句,先行词为journey。Hsuan-tsang为同位语,对于monk的补充说明,accopanied by 为非谓语动词作monk的后置定语,表示被动。to 目的地,for 表示目的。
句子主干:玄奘穿越地区。

句型:
travel through 地区 to 地方 for 目的: 穿越某个地区去具体地方干啥

词汇:
描绘:depict,describe,多用depict。
区别:
Depict is a synonym of describe. Describe is a synonym of depict.
As verbs the difference between describe and depict is that describe is to represent in words while depict is to render a representation of something, using words, sounds, images, or other means.
僧侣:monk
随从:follower
取经:Buddhist scripture

第三句

Although the theme of the story is based on Buddhism, the book employs a lot of materials of Chinese folk tales and myths to create various vivid images of characters and animals.

句子结构方面:
although引导的让步状语从句,后半句用to do来做非谓语。创造和前面提及的素材是有关系的,这种关系容易忽略,用这些素材来创造形象,表目的关系。另外对于英语,一个句子只能有一个谓语,前面已经有了一个动词(empoly),所以把剩下的动词进行非谓语处理。
句子主干:小说采用了素材来创造形象。

句型:
be based on : 基于

词汇:
主题:theme
佛教:Buddhism
采用:empoly
民间故事:folk tales
神话:myths
素材:materials
各种:various
栩栩如生:vivid
人物形象:images of characters

第四句

The most famous of these is Sun Wukong, whose stories of fighting various demons are familiar to almost every Chinese kids.

句子结构方面:
首先,其中与上句有关系,用指示代词,these。其次,后半句的他与前半句也有紧密联系,考虑定语从句,引导词可以用whose.
句子主干:故事被熟知。

句型:A be familiar to B. A 被B所熟知。

词汇:
与各种各样妖魔作斗争:fight various demons.
