《西游记》第四十章：神奇的葫芦

Bajie was in the cave when the door opened. Two small demons entered, dragging Wu Jing and the Tang monk. What happened? cried Bajie after the demons left. A demon attacked us. said Wu Jing. I tried to fight him, but he was too powerful. I'm worried, said the Tang monk. We don't know what happened to Wu Kong.

八戒正待在山洞里，这时洞门开了 两个小妖精拽着悟净和唐僧走了进来 出什么事了？ 小妖精们离开后，八戒连忙喊道 有个妖怪袭击了我们 悟净说道 我想跟他对战，可他实在太厉害了 唐僧说：“我好担心啊” 我们都不知道悟空现在怎么样了

In another room inside the cave, Goldenhorn talked to some smaller demons. They all laughed when Goldenhorn told them Wukong was trapped under three mountains. Let's celebrate, said one demon. Not yet, said Goldenhorn. I'm afraid son Wukong might escape. He handed a gourd to one of the demons. Take this magic gourd to the monkey. Say his name and he will be sucked into the gourd. After an hour he will turn into liquid.

在山洞的另一个房间里，金角大王正和几个小妖精说话 金角大王说悟空被压在三座山下，小妖精们听了都哈哈大笑 一个小妖精说：“咱们庆祝一下吧” 金角大王说：“还不行” 我怕那猴头孙悟空会逃掉 他把一个葫芦递给其中一个小妖精 你拿着这个宝葫芦去找那猴子 喊他的名字，他就会被吸进葫芦里 过一个时辰他就会化成水了

Yes master! said the small demon. Wukong pushed as hard as he could but the mountains were too heavy. How will I ever get out of this? thought the monkey.

小妖精说：“是，大王！” 悟空拼尽全力往上顶，可山实在太重了 猴子心里想：我要怎么才能逃出去呀？

He was about to push again when the mountains rose into the air. Wukong jumped to his feet and looked around. A spirit stood nearby. Wukong, I am the spirit of these mountains. Please forgive me. I tried to stop that demon from taking my mountains, but he was too powerful.

他正要再使劲顶，那三座山突然升到了空中 悟空蹦起身，四处张望 一位山神站在旁边 “悟空，我是这几座山的山神” “求求你原谅我” “我想拦住那个妖怪，不让他搬走我的山，可他太厉害了”

The spirit bowed and then vanished with the mountains. I'm lucky that spirit arrived, said Wukong. Now I must find my companions. I wonder where that demon lives. I'm going to find my companions. He spotted a small demon coming down the road. The demon was carrying a gourd. Wukong ducked behind a rock before the demon saw him.

山神鞠了一躬，然后带着那几座山消失了 悟空说：“幸好山神来了，我真走运” 现在我得去找我的伙伴们 也不知道那个妖怪住在哪儿 我这就去找我的伙伴们 他看见一个小妖精沿着路走了过来 那个小妖精手里拿着一个葫芦 悟空赶在小妖精看见他之前，躲到了一块石头后面
