Wukong Leaves His Body

Journey to the West, Chapter 28, Wukong Leaves His Body.

《西游记》第二十八章：悟空出窍

Ba Jie looked out the kitchen window. Wu Kang and Wu Jing were outside talking. Wu Kang, Wu Jing! Said the pig quietly. Come over here. I want to tell you something. The two companions came over to the window. What is it? Asked Wu Jing.

八戒朝厨房窗外望去。 悟空和悟净正在外面说话。 悟空，悟净！ 猪八戒小声喊道。 快过来，我有事要跟你们说。 两个伙伴走到窗边。 什么事呀？ 悟净问道。

I heard the two priests talking, said the pig. There's a ginseng tree at this abbey. They said its fruit is delicious and valuable. Wukong smiled. The fruit must taste wonderful. We should eat some, said Wujing. Bajie rubbed his belly. Yes, he said. We should. You two wait here, said Wukong. I'll go pick some of that fruit. I'll go.

“我刚才听见两个道士说话呢。”八戒说。 这座道观里有一棵人参果树。 他们说树上的果子好吃得很，还特别珍贵。 悟空笑了。 那果子肯定味道棒极了。 “我们应该去摘几个来吃。”悟净说。 八戒揉了揉自己的肚子。 对啊，他说。 是该去摘点。 “你们俩在这儿等着。”悟空说。 我去摘几个那种果子。 我这就去。

The monkey went behind the abbey and found the giant ginseng tree. The fruit sparkled in the sunlight. He plucked three pieces from the tree's branches and went back to the kitchen. He handed Bajie and Wujing each a ginseng fruit. Wujing took a bite. This fruit is delicious!

悟空跑到道观后面，找到了那棵巨大的人参果树。 果子在阳光下闪闪发亮。 他从树枝上摘了三个果子，就回厨房去了。 他给八戒和悟净每人递了个人参果。 悟净咬了一口。 这果子太好吃啦！

Yes, said Wukong. It truly is. Bajie opened his mouth wide and threw his ginseng fruit in. Gulp. Bajie, you should be ashamed of yourself, said Wukong. You didn't even chew. I was too hungry to chew, said the pig. He groaned. And now I wish I had another ginseng fruit. I didn't even taste that one.

是啊，悟空说。 真的特别好吃。 八戒张大嘴巴，把人参果整个扔了进去。 咕咚。 “八戒，你也太不像话了。”悟空说。 你连嚼都没嚼呢。 “我太饿了，都顾不上嚼了。”八戒说。 他哼哼唧唧的。 现在我好想再吃一个人参果啊。 我刚才那个连味儿都没尝出来呢。

At that moment, the two priests were walking past the kitchen. Did you hear what the pig said? whispered one priest. I think the Tang monks' companions are eating the ginseng fruit. The two priests ran outside and searched the ginseng tree. Three pieces of fruit were gone. This is terrible! said one priest. The great immortal will be very upset!

就在这时，两个道士正从厨房门口经过。 你听见那猪刚才说的话了吗？ 一个道士小声说。 我觉得唐僧的徒弟们正在偷吃人参果呢。 两个道士跑到外面，去人参果树上数果子。 少了三个果子。 “这可糟了！”一个道士喊道。 大仙知道了肯定会非常生气的！
