《西游记》第九十七回 八戒遇妖

Bajie took a step back as a dark mist surrounded the people on the road. When the mist cleared, he saw they were really a monster and several little demons. The monster grinned at him. Yes, you are here for the feast, pig. We're going to eat you for lunch. What? Bajie raised his rake and swung as the monster approached. The demons rushed toward the cape from all sides.

路上的行人周围忽然黑雾弥漫，八戒连忙往后退了一步。 雾散之后，他才看清那些人原来是一个妖怪和几只小妖精。 妖怪冲着他咧嘴笑。 没错呀，你就是来赴宴的肥猪对吧。 我们正打算拿你当午餐呢。 什么？ 妖怪朝他走过来，八戒举起九齿钉耙就挥了过去。 小妖精们从四面八方朝他冲了过来。

That rotten monkey lied to me! cried Bajay. He spun around and knocked over two demons with his Rake. The monster threw a punch. Bajay blocked the punch with his Rake. Ahhh... cried the monster, rubbing his hand.

那只臭猴子骗我！ 八戒大喊道。 他转过身，一耙就打倒了两个小妖精。 妖怪一拳打了过来。 八戒举起钉耙挡住了这一拳。 哎哟喂…… 妖怪揉着自己的手痛呼道。

Bajie kicked a demon sneaking up behind him. That monkey is always causing problems. The pig muttered. He slammed the rake down on another demon. So what if I like to eat? Did he really have to trick me? The monster attacked again. Bajie thrust his rake toward him, still complaining about Wukong. Wukong is small. He doesn't need to eat as much as I do.

八戒一脚踹倒了偷偷摸到他身后的小妖精。 那只猴子净给我惹麻烦。 猪八戒嘟囔着，一耙狠狠砸向另一个小妖精。 我爱吃怎么了？他至于这么耍我吗？ 妖怪又攻了过来，八戒一边挥耙迎上去，一边还在抱怨悟空。 悟空个子小，哪像我要吃那么多东西呀。

The monster suddenly stopped fighting and looked at Bajie curiously. You just said Wu Kong. Are you talking about Sun Wu Kong, the monkey who defeated Heaven's entire army 500 years ago? Um, yes, said Bajie. Do you know him? I've heard he's traveling with the Tang Monk, said the monster. You must be traveling with the Tang Monk too! Why are you interested in the monk? asked Bajie suspiciously.

妖怪忽然停了手，好奇地看着八戒。 你刚刚说悟空？ 你说的是五百年前大闹天宫、打退了十万天兵的孙悟空吗？ 呃，对呀。八戒说道。 你认识他？ 我听说他正跟着唐僧取经呢。妖怪说道。 那你肯定也是跟着唐僧的！ 你问唐僧做什么？ 八戒疑惑地问道。

The monster licked his lips. I've heard that anyone who eats the Tang Monk will live forever! Panicked, Bajie ran from the demons and back to his companions. He pointed at Wukong. You tricked me! The monkey was laughing. Ha ha ha ha ha! How was the feast, Bajie?

妖怪舔了舔嘴唇。 我听说吃了唐僧肉就能长生不老呀！ 八戒吓坏了，连忙甩开小妖精，跑回同伴身边。 他指着悟空。 你骗我！ 悟空正笑得开心呢。 哈哈哈哈哈！八戒，那宴席怎么样呀？
