《西游记》第九十九回 顾员外的誓愿

The monster yelled from inside the cave. We ain't the Tang Monk, so you might as well leave. Oh no! Bajie fell to his knees and cried. Wujing wiped tears from his eyes. Poor master. Wukong frowned at his companions. I can't believe you two believed that monster. He sighed. Wait here.

妖怪在山洞里大喊。 我们没抓唐僧，你们趁早走吧。 天啊！ 八戒扑通跪下哭了起来。 悟净抹了抹眼里的泪水。 可怜的师父啊。 悟空皱着眉看着两个师弟。 真不敢相信你们俩居然信那个妖怪的话。 他叹了口气。 你们在这儿等着。

The monkey turned into a moth and flew into the cave. He soon found the Tang monk tied up in a dark room. Wukong turned back into himself. Wukong! Cried the Tang monk. Shhh! The monkey untied the monk. We must be quiet! Wukong recited a spell. A moment later, the sound of snoring drifted into the room.

悟空变成一只飞蛾，飞进了山洞里。 他很快就发现唐僧被绑在一间暗室里。 悟空变回了原形。 悟空！ 唐僧高声喊道。 嘘！ 悟空给唐僧松了绑。 我们得小声点！ 悟空念了个咒语。 过了一会儿，鼾声就飘进了房间里。

My spell put the monster and demons to sleep, said the monkey. Let's go! Wukong and the monk came out of the cave. Bajie and Wujing were thrilled. Master, we thought you'd been eaten, said Bajie. I knew he was fine, said Wukong. Now I'm going to make sure these villains never bother anyone again.

我的咒语把所有妖魔鬼怪都弄睡着了，悟空说。 我们走吧！ 悟空带着唐僧走出了山洞。 八戒和悟净都高兴坏了。 师父，我们还以为你被妖怪吃了呢，八戒说。 我就知道师父没事，悟空说。 现在我要让这些坏蛋再也不能祸害别人。

He pulled out his iron bar. It grew until it was the size of a very tall tree. Stand back! said the monkey. With one swing, Wukong smashed the entire cave. Rocks exploded and fell on top of one another. Wukong looked at the rubble and smiled.

他掏出了金箍棒。 金箍棒越变越大，最后长得像一棵参天大树那么高。 都往后退！悟空说道。 悟空一棒挥下去，把整个山洞都砸塌了。 碎石四处飞溅，层层堆叠在一起。 悟空看着眼前的碎石堆，满意地笑了。

Weeks went by, and the travelers arrived in a small town. Bajie's stomach growled loudly. Wukong laughed. I guess we should look for food. They saw an old monk walking down a street. Kind monk, said the Tang monk. Do you know where we can beg for some food? We are quite hungry.

几周过去了，师徒几人来到了一个小镇上。 八戒的肚子咕咕叫得震天响。 悟空忍不住笑出了声。 我看我们得找点吃的才行。 他们看见一位老和尚正沿着街道走过来。 法师您好，唐僧开口说道。 请问您知道我们能去哪里化点斋饭吗？ 我们都饿坏了。
