《西游记》第八十七章：三位年轻女子

Wukong and his companions were walking through a forest. I'm glad the road goes through this shady forest, said the Tang monk. The sun is very hot this morning. Wuxing nodded. It's nice to walk in the shade. Wukong looked around suspiciously. He knew that forests were often filled with dangers.

悟空和同伴们正穿过一片森林。 唐僧说：“真高兴这条路穿过这片阴凉的树林。” 今早的太阳太晒了。 悟净点了点头。 走在阴凉里可舒服了。 悟空警惕地环顾四周。 他知道森林里常常藏着危险。

Suddenly, Bajie fell flat on his face. He climbed back to his feet and rubbed his nose. I'm okay, I tripped on a rock. The travelers soon came to a wall running along the road. Behind the wall, they could see the roof of a house. Up ahead was a gate. I wonder who lives here, said Wujing. Shhh, said Wukong. I hear laughter.

突然，八戒摔了个嘴啃泥。 他爬起来，揉了揉鼻子。 我没事，刚才被石头绊倒了。 一行人很快就走到了路边的一堵围墙前。 围墙后面能看到一栋房子的屋顶。 前面有一扇大门。 悟净说：“不知道这里住的是谁呀。” 悟空说：“嘘，我听到了笑声。”

The monkey peeked over the wall. Three young women were laughing and kicking a ball around. I see three young women, said Wukong. Let's ask them for some food, said Wujing. That's a good idea, said Bajie. I'll go talk to them. The pig headed toward the gate.

猴子踮着脚往围墙里看。 三个年轻女子正笑着踢球玩。 悟空说：“我看到三个年轻女子。” 悟净说：“咱们去向她们讨点吃的吧。” 八戒说：“这主意太棒了。” 我去跟她们说。 这头猪径直朝大门走去。

Bajie, wait here! said the Tang monk. He looked at his companions. I will speak to the women. You three might frighten them. Frighten them? Bajie echoed. Yes, said the Tang monk. After all, Bajie, you're a large talking pig. Wujing, you're big and purple. And Wukong, you're scary sometimes. The monkey shrugged. Wujing nodded.

唐僧说：“八戒，在这儿等着！” 他看着自己的三个徒弟。 我去跟那些女子说。 你们三个说不定会吓到她们。 吓到她们？ 八戒反问道。 唐僧说：“是啊。” 八戒啊，你毕竟是头会说话的大猪。 悟净，你长得又高大，脸色还发紫。 还有悟空，你有时候看着怪吓人的。 猴子耸了耸肩。 悟净点了点头。

Fine! snapped Bajie. The Tang monk opened the gate and went through. He approached the women. Look! said one woman. We have a visitor. He's a monk! said another woman. What can we do for you? asked the third. Hello! said the Tang monk. I'm wondering if you could spare some food for my companions and me.

哼，行吧！ 八戒没好气地说。 唐僧推开大门走了进去。 他走到那几个女子面前。 一个女子说：“快看！” 有客人来了。 另一个女子说：“是个和尚！” 第三个女子问：“你有什么事吗？” 唐僧说：“你们好！” 不知道能不能给我和我的同伴们一点吃的？
