《西游记》第八十一回：神龙出手相助

Bajie and Wuxing swung their weapons at the demon. The demon laughed. I'm much too powerful for you. From inside the cymbals, Wukong heard the fight. He heard grunts and the sounds of weapons clashing. The Tang monk cried. No! Then there was silence.

八戒和悟净挥舞着兵器朝妖怪打去 妖怪哈哈大笑 你们根本不是我的对手 被困在钹里的悟空听到了外面打斗的声音 他听到了闷哼声，还有兵器相撞的哐当声 唐僧大叫起来 不要啊！ 接着外面就没了动静

What happened out there? shouted Wukong. There was no answer. The monkey punched and kicked the inside of the symbols for hours. But the two symbols would not come apart. This is terrible, he said to himself. How will I get out of here? The monkey was about to strike the symbols again when he heard a voice.

外面发生什么事了？ 悟空大声喊道 没有人回应他 猴子对着金钹的内壁拳打脚踢 打了好几个小时 可这两片金钹怎么都分不开 这下可糟了，他自言自语道 我要怎么才能出去啊？ 猴子正准备再次抬手砸金钹 突然听到了一个声音

Wukong, are you in there? Who is that? Wukong asked. I'm the gold dragon, said the voice. The Jade Emperor sent me to help you. I'll wedge my horn between the symbols and pry them apart. Please hurry, said Wukong. Slowly the dragon's horn poked through, but the symbols were still tightly clasped together.

悟空，你在里面吗？ 是谁在外面？ 悟空问道 我是金龙，那个声音说道 玉帝派我来帮你的 我会把我的角塞进金钹的缝隙里，把它们撬开 拜托你动作快点，悟空说 金龙的角慢慢戳了进来 可金钹还是紧紧合在一起，半点缝隙都没有

Wukong groaned. I can't escape. Maybe we can find another way to pry the symbols apart. Said the dragon. Actually, I have a different idea. Said the monkey. Wukong turned his iron bar into a drill. He made a hole in the dragon's horn. Then he made himself tiny and climbed into the hole. Pull your horn out now! Said Wukong.

悟空唉声叹气 我逃不出去了 说不定我们能找别的办法把金钹撬开 金龙说道 其实呀，我有个别的主意 猴子说道 悟空把他的金箍棒变成了一把钻头 他在金龙的角上钻了个洞 接着他把自己变得很小很小，钻进了那个洞里 现在把你的角拔出去！ 悟空说道

The dragon pulled and pulled and finally got his horn out. The monkey jumped out of the hole and returned to his normal size. Thank you, said Wukong. Now we must free my friends. We have to be quiet, said the dragon. The demon is sleeping. Wukong nodded. Then he turned toward the symbols and raised his iron bar. Smash! The symbols shattered.

金龙拔呀拔呀，终于把他的角拔了出来 猴子从洞里跳了出来，变回了正常大小 谢谢你啦，悟空说 现在我们得去救我的朋友们 我们得轻点声，金龙说 妖怪正在睡觉呢 悟空点了点头 接着他转过身对着金钹，举起了金箍棒 啪嚓！ 金钹被砸得稀碎
