《西游记》第十一章：大闹天宫

Erlang quickly tied up Wukong and brought him up to heaven. I want Sun Wukong destroyed, said the Jade Emperor. Soldiers tied Wukong to a pillar in a courtyard. They struck him with swords. But his body was as hard as a diamond. The swords shattered. Wukong laughed. Your swords can't hurt me.

二郎神很快捆住悟空，把他押去了天庭。 “把孙悟空给我处死。”玉皇大帝说。 天兵们把悟空绑在院子里的一根柱子上。 他们挥剑朝他砍去。 可他的身体像钻石一样坚硬。 剑全都碎了。 悟空大笑起来。 “你们的剑伤不到我。”

The Jade Emperor turned to a messenger. Bring in the fire gods. Several fire gods entered the courtyard and threw balls of flame at Wukong. The courtyard filled with smoke. But when the smoke cleared, not one hair on Wukong's body was burned. Thank you. Wukong laughed. I was feeling a little cold. Wukong laughed.

玉皇大帝转头看向一名使者。 “去把火神们叫过来。” 好几位火神走进院子，朝悟空扔出火球。 院子里顿时浓烟滚滚。 可等烟散去，悟空身上连一根毫毛都没被烧到。 “多谢啦。” 悟空大笑道。 “我刚才还觉得有点冷呢。” 悟空又笑了起来。

Gather the thunder gods said the Jade Emperor Several thunder gods entered the courtyard The Jade Emperor smiled as lightning bolts shot toward Wukong But even the lightning couldn't harm the monkey That tickled said Wukong with a smile The Jade Emperor shook his head It seems that Wukong can't be destroyed

“去把雷神都召集来。”玉皇大帝说。 好几位雷神走进了院子。 看着一道道闪电劈向悟空，玉皇大帝露出了笑容。 可就连闪电也伤不到这只猴子。 “好痒呀。”悟空笑着说。 玉皇大帝摇了摇头。 看来孙悟空是杀不死的。

That's because he ate all the peaches, said Lausa. Just one peach would make someone live forever. He ate every peach in the garden. The Emperor frowned. Then how will we get rid of him? I have an idea, said Lausa. I'll put him in the large pot I use for making potions. Maybe we can burn him up slowly.

“那是因为他吃了所有的蟠桃。”老君说。 哪怕只吃一颗蟠桃都能长生不老。 他把蟠桃园里的桃子全吃光了。 玉帝皱起了眉头。 “那我们要怎么除掉他？” “我有个办法。”老君说。 “我把他放进我炼丹用的大炉子里。” “说不定我们可以慢慢把他炼化。”

Perfect said the Jade Emperor. Soldiers brought Wukong to a room in Laozi's palace. A large pot sat in the middle of the room. Laozi put Wukong into the pot. And then closed the lid. Laozi started a fire under the pot. Day and night he tended the fire. He kept it burning for 49 days. Wukong must have been destroyed by now. Thought Laozi.

“太好了。”玉皇大帝说。 天兵们把悟空带到了老君宫殿的一个房间里。 房间的正中央放着一口大炼丹炉。 老君把悟空塞进了炼丹炉里。 接着盖上了炉盖。 老君在炉下生起了火。 他日夜守着炉火。 他让火整整烧了七七四十九天。 悟空现在肯定已经被炼化了。 老君心想。
