《西游记》第四十一回 交换

Wukong was angry at the guard at the southern gate of heaven. Why can't you close the gate and dim the stars? The guard looked nervous. I can do that only if I have permission from the Jade Emperor. I'm trying to save the Tang Monk! cried Wukong. A demon is planning to eat him! I'm sorry, said the guard, but I can't help you.

悟空对着南天门的守卫大发雷霆。 你们为什么不能关上大门、调暗星光？ 守卫看起来很紧张。 我只有得到玉帝的准许才能这么做。 我是要去救唐僧啊！ 悟空大喊道。 有个妖怪打算吃了他！ “抱歉，”守卫说，“我帮不了你。”

Wukong's eyes became dark and angry. He pulled the iron bar out of his ear. A messenger ran into the Cloud Palace and bowed. Son Wukong is at the southern gate of heaven, your majesty. He's going to destroy heaven if we don't do what he says.

悟空的眼睛沉了下来，满是怒火。 他从耳朵里掏出了金箍棒。 一个信使跑进凌霄宝殿，躬身行礼。 陛下，孙悟空现在正在南天门呢。 要是我们不照他说的做，他就要把天庭砸个稀巴烂。

The Jade Emperor slammed his fist down. That rotten monkey, what does he want? He wants us to close the gate and dim the stars, said the messenger. Why? asked the Emperor. He wants to pretend heaven got sucked into a gourd, said the messenger. The Jade Emperor looked confused. Why does he want to do that?

玉帝猛地一拳砸在案上。 这泼猴，他想要干什么？ 信使答道：“他要我们关上南天门，调暗星光。” 玉帝问：“为什么？” 信使说：“他想假装天庭被吸进一个葫芦里了。” 玉帝一脸困惑。 他为什么要这么做？

He didn't say said the messenger he just said he's trying to save the Tang monk The Jade Emperor sighed you have my permission to close the gate and dim the stars. I don't want any more trouble from that monkey The messenger returned to the gate We will close the gate and dim the stars. He said Good said Wukong. He put the iron bar back in his ear Wait until I say heaven

信使说：“他没说，只说他是要去救唐僧。” 玉帝叹了口气：“朕准了，你们去关大门调暗星光吧。我可不想再被那只猴子找麻烦。” 信使回到了南天门。 他说：“我们会关上大门、调暗星光的。” “太好了。”悟空说完，把金箍棒塞回了耳朵里。 等我喊“天”的时候你们再动手。

Wukong returned to his body, which was still in disguise as a demon. Now I will call to heaven, said the monkey to the demon. The whole place will get sucked into this gourd. He held up the gourd. Heaven! Right away the sky went dark. Amazing! cried the demon. All of heaven is now in that gourd?

悟空回到了自己的身体里，他这会儿还假扮成妖怪呢。 悟空对妖怪说：“现在我要喊上天庭了。” 整个天庭都会被吸进这个葫芦里。 他举起了葫芦。 “天！” 天空立刻暗了下来。 妖怪大叫：“太厉害了！” 整个天庭都被装进那个葫芦里了？
