《西游记》第十九章：邪恶的阴谋

The head priest called for two other priests who quickly ran into the room. Is everything okay, Master? One priest asked. I can't give this robe back to the Tang monk, said the head priest. But you must give it back, said the other priest.

住持叫来另外两名僧人，他们很快跑进了房间。 师父，您没事吧？ 其中一名僧人问道。 我不能把这件袈裟还给唐僧，住持说。 可您必须还给他们呀，另一名僧人说。

This robe is a Buddhist treasure said the head priest it comes from the Western Paradise as Buddhist we must do everything we can to keep it in our monastery the Tang monk won't let you keep it said the first priest the head priest smiled there was an evil look in his eye I have he said

这件袈裟是佛门至宝，住持说，它来自西方极乐世界。 作为佛门弟子，我们必须想尽办法把它留在咱们寺里，唐僧不会同意的 把袈裟留给咱们的，第一个僧人说。住持笑了，眼里闪着不怀好意的光：我有 办法，他说道。

Wukong was awake, meditating on a rooftop when he heard footsteps. He looked down and saw two priests walking across the courtyard. They were carrying bundles of firewood. It's the middle of the night, thought Wukong. Why are they starting a fire? The priests stacked the firewood next to the building the Tang monk was sleeping in.

悟空还没睡，正在屋顶打坐，忽然听到了脚步声。 他往下一看，只见两个僧人正穿过院子。 他们手里抱着一捆捆的柴火。 这大半夜的，悟空心里纳闷。 他们生火做什么呀？ 两个僧人把柴火堆在了唐僧睡觉的屋子旁边。 这大半夜的，悟空心里嘀咕。 两个僧人把柴火堆在了唐僧睡觉的屋子旁边。 他们手里抱着一捆捆的柴火。 这大半夜的，悟空心里犯疑。

Aha! Thought Wukong. I'll bet that head priest wants to keep our row. He's planning to kill us. Wukong waited until the priest lit the wood on fire. Then he used his magic powers. The priest screamed and ran as the fire shot across the one building went up in flames and then another. Soon most of the monastery's buildings were on fire. Walls crumbled and roofs caved in.

哈哈！悟空心想，我敢打赌肯定是那个住持想霸占咱们的袈裟，他 打算把我们都害死。悟空一直等到僧人把柴火点着，然后他 使出了法术。火苗窜得到处都是，僧人们尖叫着四散奔逃 一栋房子烧起来了，接着又是一栋。很快，寺院里大部分的 房子都着了火。墙体纷纷倒塌，屋顶也塌了下来。

Run for your life! cried one priest. Our monastery is ruined! cried another. There was one building, however, that the fire didn't touch. The Tang monk slept peacefully as the rest of the monastery burned down. The next morning, the Tang monk woke up and opened the door. He gasped.

快跑啊！逃命啊！ 一名僧人哭喊着。 咱们的寺院全毁了！ 另一个僧人哭喊道。 不过，有一栋房子一点儿都没被火烧到。 寺院其他地方都烧起来了，唐僧还在安安稳稳地睡觉。 第二天早上，唐僧醒过来，打开了房门。 他倒抽了一口冷气。
