Arrested!

Journey to the West, Chapter 101, Arrested.

《西游记》第一百零一章：被捕

This is ridiculous, said the Tang monk. Why are we under arrest? Soldiers were bringing the travelers back to the town. You robbed Squire Koo's house last night, said one of the soldiers. What? cried Bajie. We would never rob somebody, especially not the Squire. He was kind to us.

唐僧说：“这也太荒唐了。” 我们为什么要被抓啊？ 士兵们正把一行人押回镇上。 一个士兵说道：“你们昨晚抢了顾乡绅的家。” 八戒大叫：“什么？” 我们绝不会抢别人东西，更不会抢顾乡绅，他对我们可好了。

You had all the stolen items, replied the soldier. You also had the two horses that were stolen from his stable. We got everything from the real robbers, said the Tang monk. We were going to return it all to Squire Ku. The soldier laughed. Ha ha! Oh, you got everything from the real robbers. Tell me, where are the real robbers now, hmm?

士兵回答：“你们身上带着所有失窃的财物。” 你们还有两匹从他马厩里偷来的马。 唐僧说：“这些东西我们是从真正的劫匪手里拿到的。” 我们正打算把所有东西都还给顾乡绅呢。 士兵笑了起来。 哈哈！哦，原来你们是从真正的劫匪手里拿到的啊。 那你说说，真正的劫匪现在在哪呢，嗯？

Wukong sighed. I let them go. The soldier laughed again. Oh, that was very kind of you. Wukong could tell that the soldier didn't believe him. By now they had reached the town. A crowd of people had gathered to watch. The soldiers brought the travelers into the courthouse.

悟空叹了口气。 我把他们放走了。 士兵又笑了。 哦，你可真是心善啊。 悟空看得出来，士兵根本不相信他的话。 这时候他们已经到镇上了。 一群人围过来看热闹。 士兵们把一行人押进了县衙。

The judge frowned at the monk and the others. Lock them up! This is a mistake! The Tang monk pleaded. We can't go to jail! We're making an important journey to visit Buddha! The judge shook his head. Buddha doesn't allow killers in the Western Paradise. Killers? Said Wu Jing. What are you talking about?

县官皱着眉看着唐僧一行人。 把他们关起来！ 这是个误会！ 唐僧恳求道。 我们不能坐牢啊！ 我们还要去西天拜佛祖，有要事在身呢！ 县官摇了摇头。 西天极乐世界可不欢迎杀人凶手。 杀人凶手？ 沙僧说道。 你在说什么啊？

You killed Squire Koo! said the judge. The Tang monk's face went pale. The Squire is dead? The judge narrowed his eyes at the monk. Yes and Lady Koo saw you do it. The travelers were shoved into a jail cell and the door was slammed Shut! The Tang monk started to cry. This is terrible!

县官说：“你们杀了顾乡绅！”唐僧的脸唰一下就白了。顾 乡绅死了？县官眯起眼睛看着唐僧：“没错，顾夫人亲眼看见 是你们干的。”一行人被推进大牢，牢门砰的一声 关上了！唐僧哭了起来：“这也太倒霉了！”
