The Man in the Canoe

Journey to the West, Chapter 53, The Man in the Canoe.

《西游记》第五十三回：独木舟里的男子

From behind Guan Yin, Wukong peeked at Red Boy. The demon was trapped by the swords all pointed at his face. Get these swords away from me! Cried the demon. You must become a Buddhist. Said Guan Yin. Then I'll release you. I promise! Cried Red Boy. I'll do whatever you say!

悟空躲在观音身后偷偷打量红孩儿。 妖怪被密密麻麻对准他脸的宝剑困住了。 快把这些剑拿开！ 妖怪大喊道。 你必须皈依佛门。 观音说道。 之后我就放了你。 我答应！ 红孩儿大喊道。 你说什么我都照做！

Guan Yin recited a spell and the swords vanished. Red Boy's eyes flashed with anger. Bodhisattva, watch out! cried Wukong. Red Boy charged toward Guan Yin. Wukong jumped in front of him. The monkey was about to strike the demon when Guan Yin held up five metal bands. She threw them at Red Boy. Instantly they clapped around his head, wrists and ankles.

观音念了个咒语，宝剑全都消失了。 红孩儿眼里闪过怒火。 菩萨小心！ 悟空大喊道。 红孩儿朝着观音冲了过去。 悟空一下子跳到他身前。 悟空正要打妖怪，观音却举起了五个金箍。 她把金箍朝红孩儿扔了过去。 金箍瞬间就箍住了他的头、手腕和脚踝。

Evil demon! Said Guan Yin. How dare you try to attack me! Unable to move, Red Boy glared at Guan Yin. Wukong raised his iron bar to strike him. No, Wukong. Said Guan Yin. Don't hurt the demon. I will take him back to Mount Podolaka to be my student. Yes, Bodhisattva. Said the monkey.

孽障！ 观音说道。 你竟敢试图袭击我！ 动弹不得的红孩儿恶狠狠地瞪着观音。 悟空举起金箍棒就要打他。 不可，悟空。 观音说道。 不要伤害这个妖怪。 我要把他带回普陀山做我的弟子。 是，菩萨。 悟空应道。

Guan Yin took the vase down to earth. She recited a spell and all the water flowed back into the vase. She then led Red Boy toward the south. Wukong went into Red Boy's cave and freed the Tang monk. Then he found Bajie and freed him. The three of them went down the mountain and found Wu Jing.

观音把净瓶收回凡间。 她念了个咒语，所有的水都流回了净瓶里。 之后她就带着红孩儿往南方去了。 悟空走进红孩儿的洞穴，救出了唐僧。 接着他又找到八戒，把他也救了出来。 三人下山后找到了悟净。

The group continued west. They traveled for weeks and then months. One day they came to a wide river. I can't believe we have to cross another river, muttered Bajie. There are many rivers between here and the west, said Wukong. We'll have to cross them all. How will we cross this one? asked the Tang monk.

一行人继续往西赶路。 他们走了好几个星期，又走了好几个月。 有一天，他们来到了一条很宽的河边。 真不敢相信我们又要过河了，八戒嘟囔道。 从这儿到西天之间有好多河呢，悟空说道。 我们全都得渡过去才行。 我们要怎么过这条河呢？唐僧问道。
