《西游记》第六十七章 神偷高手

What are we going to do now? cried Wukong. One -horned buffalo stole all our weapons. The warrior rubbed his chin. He looked very serious. We can't go back to the Jade Emperor. He'll be angry if he finds out we couldn't arrest the demon. You're right, said the Fire God. We need a different plan. It's getting dark out, almost night time. Maybe one of us can sneak into the cave and steal that metal ring.

我们现在该怎么办呀？ 孙悟空大声喊道。 独角水牛怪偷走了我们所有的兵器。 天将摸了摸下巴。 他看起来一脸严肃。 我们可不能回去见玉帝。 要是他知道我们抓不到妖怪，肯定会发火的。 火神说：“你说得对。” 我们得换个法子。 天快黑了，马上就要到晚上啦。 说不定我们当中可以有人偷偷溜进山洞，把那个铁圈偷出来。

The Thunder God smiled. I know who's perfect for that job. The others all looked at the God. One of us is a master thief. The Thunder God continued. He once stole all the peaches from the Royal Peach Garden. Now everyone looked at Wukong.

雷神笑了笑。 我知道谁最适合干这个活啦。 其他人都齐刷刷看向雷神。 我们当中有个神偷高手哦。 雷神接着说。 他以前还把蟠桃园里的桃子全偷光过呢。 这下大家都看向了孙悟空。

The monkey pretended to laugh. Ha ha. Yes, it's true. I used to steal things, but I know now that stealing is wrong. However, I will steal that metal ring because I need to save the Tang Monk. You all wait here. The monkey turned himself into a tiny bug and flew into the cave. He went down a long, dark tunnel followed by another tunnel. Then he heard one horned buffalo.

孙悟空假装笑了起来。 哈哈，没错，是有这回事。 我以前是偷过东西，但我现在知道偷东西是不对的啦。 不过为了救唐僧，我愿意去偷那个铁圈。 你们都在这里等着。 孙悟空变成一只小虫子，飞进了山洞里。 他飞过一条又长又黑的通道，接着又飞过另一条通道。 就在这时，他听到了独角水牛怪的声音。

Wukong flew toward the voice. The demon was sitting on the edge of a bed, talking to himself. The metal ring was still on his arm. It's time for bed, said the demon with a yawn. I hope I can eat the tag monk tomorrow. I couldn't eat him today because of that annoying monkey and his friends from heaven. The demon lay down and was soon asleep.

孙悟空朝着声音的方向飞过去。 妖怪正坐在床边上自言自语呢。 那个铁圈还套在他的胳膊上。 妖怪打着哈欠说：“该睡觉啦。” 我希望明天能吃到唐僧肉。 今天我吃不到他，都怪那只烦人的猴子和他那些天上的朋友。 妖怪躺下来，很快就睡着了。

Wukong flew over and landed on the demon's arm. I'll bite his arm, thought the monkey. He'll get itchy and have to take off the metal ring. Wukong bit the demon's arm again and again. The demon rolled over and mumbled in his sleep. Itch. Itch. He scratched his arm.

孙悟空飞过去，落在了妖怪的胳膊上。 孙悟空心里想：我要咬他的胳膊。 他痒了就会把铁圈摘下来啦。 孙悟空一口接一口地咬着妖怪的胳膊。 妖怪翻了个身，睡梦中还嘟嘟囔囔的。 痒，好痒啊。 他伸手挠了挠胳膊。
