《西游记》第一百零六章：疑问

Guan Yin looked at the messenger in surprise. What is the problem? she asked. It's about the Tang monk, said the messenger. To become a Buddha, he needs to face one hundred challenges. I was just looking at the list of challenges he's faced. There are only ninety -nine challenges on the list. He must face one more challenge to become a Buddha.

观音惊讶地看着信使 “出什么事了？”她问道 “是关于唐僧的。”信使说 他要修成佛，必须经历一百次劫难 我刚才在核对他经历过的劫难清单 清单上只有九十九次劫难 他得再经历一次劫难才能成佛

We're moving so fast said the Tang monk smiling. The travelers were flying back east. The guard from the thunderclap monastery was using a spell to carry them. I wish the whole journey had been this easy said Bajie.

“我们飞得好快呀。”唐僧笑着说 取经一行人正往东边飞回去 雷音寺的护法正用法术载着他们飞行 要是整个取经路都这么轻松就好了 猪八戒说道

Wukong laughed. Master was still mortal before we reached the Western Paradise. He couldn't be carried then. Wujing looked ahead. We'll reach the Tang Empire soon. Just then, a messenger caught up with them. The messenger whispered something in the guard's ear. The guard glanced quickly at the travelers. Then he looked back at the messenger and nodded.

悟空笑了起来 我们到西天之前，师父还是凡人呀 那时候可没法驮着他飞 沙僧看向前方 我们很快就要到大唐啦 就在这时，一名信使追上了他们 信使凑到护法耳边低声说了些什么 护法飞快地瞥了取经的众人一眼 接着他回头看向信使，点了点头

Instantly the spell broke and the travelers fell from the sky. Bam! They slammed into the ground next to a wide river. Hukong stood up and saw the guard and messenger flying back west. The monkey shook his head. What happened? The Tang monk stood up and brushed dirt from his robe. Why did the guard drop us?

法术瞬间失效，一行人从天上掉了下去 砰！他们重重摔在一条宽阔的河边的地上 悟空站起身，看见护法和信使正往西边飞回去 猴子摇了摇头 “发生什么事了？” 唐僧站起身，拍掉僧袍上的尘土 “护法为什么把我们扔下来了？”

I'll tell you why," said Bajie. He's a villain. He thinks it's funny to drop people. The pig waved his fist at the guard, who was now far away. Villain! Wukong turned slowly to the Tang monk. I think I know why he dropped us, Master. You must face 100 challenges in order to become a Buddha. You probably got to the Western Paradise before you'd faced all of them.

“我来告诉你为啥。”猪八戒说 他是个坏蛋 他觉得把人扔下来很好玩 猪八戒朝着已经飞远的护法挥了挥拳头 “坏蛋！” 悟空慢慢转向唐僧 “师父，我想我知道他为啥把我们扔下来了” 你要修成佛，必须经历一百次劫难 你说不定还没历完所有劫难就到西天了
