草亭園圃
The Hunter's Bower and Garden
吃了齋飯，收了盤碗，漸漸天晚。伯欽引著三藏出中宅，到後邊走走。穿過夾道，有一座草亭。推開門，入到裡面。只見那四壁上掛幾張強弓硬弩，插幾壺箭；過梁上搭兩塊血腥的虎皮；牆根頭插著許多槍刀叉棒；正中間設兩張坐器。伯欽請三藏坐坐。三藏見這般兇險腌臢，不敢久坐，遂出了草亭。又往後再行，是一座大園子，卻看不盡那叢叢菊蕊堆黃，樹樹楓楊掛赤。又見呼的一聲，跑出十來隻肥鹿，一大陣黃獐，見了人，呢呢痴痴，更不恐懼。三藏道：「這獐鹿想是太保養家了的？」伯欽道：「似你那長安城中人家，有錢的集財寶，有莊的集聚稻糧。我們這打獵的，只得聚養些野獸，備天陰耳。」他兩個說話閑行，不覺黃昏，復轉前宅安歇。吃了斋饭，收了盘碗，渐渐天晚。伯钦引著三藏出中宅，到后边走走。穿过夹道，有一座草亭。推开门，入到里面。只见那四壁上挂几张强弓硬弩，插几壶箭；过梁上搭两块血腥的虎皮；墙根头插著许多枪刀叉棒；正中间设两张坐器。伯钦请三藏坐坐。三藏见这般凶险腌臜，不敢久坐，遂出了草亭。又往后再行，是一座大园子，却看不尽那丛丛菊蕊堆黄，树树枫杨挂赤。又见呼的一声，跑出十来只肥鹿，一大阵黄獐，见了人，呢呢痴痴，更不恐惧。三藏道：「这獐鹿想是太保养家了的？」伯钦道：「似你那长安城中人家，有钱的集财宝，有庄的集聚稻粮。我们这打猎的，只得聚养些野兽，备天阴耳。」他两个说话闲行，不觉黄昏，复转前宅安歇。

When they had eaten their vegetarian meal and cleared away the bowls and platters, it gradually grew late. Boqin led Sanzang out of the central hall to stroll about the back. They passed through a covered passage and came to a thatched pavilion; pushing open its door, they went inside. There Sanzang saw, hung on the four walls, several strong bows and stiff crossbows, and quivers of arrows stuck up here and there; over the beams were slung two reeking tiger-skins; against the foot of the wall were planted a great many spears and knives, tridents and staves; and in the very middle stood two seats. Boqin invited Sanzang to sit a while; but Sanzang, seeing how savage and gory a place it was, dared not stay long, and so came out of the thatched pavilion.
The armory-pavilion, hung with weapons and reeking tiger-skins, is the working heart of a hunter's establishment, and its “savage and gory” aspect makes the gentle monk ill at ease — a small touch that keeps the two characters distinct even amid the hospitality.

Going on further to the back, they came to a great garden, where one could not take in all the clump on clump of chrysanthemum-buds heaped in yellow, and the tree on tree of maple and poplar hung with crimson. Then, with a sudden rushing sound, out sprang a dozen or so fat deer and a great herd of yellow river-deer, which, at the sight of men, only gazed foolishly and showed no fear at all. Sanzang said: “I suppose the Guardian keeps these deer as a household stock?” Boqin said: “Just as in your city of Chang'an the well-to-do lay up treasure, and the landed lay up stores of grain, so we hunters can only rear a few wild beasts, to provide against the days of foul weather.” The two of them talked and strolled, and before they knew it dusk had come, and they turned back to the front hall to rest.
Boqin's homely analogy — the hunter's herd of half-tame deer set beside the townsman's hoarded treasure and the farmer's stored grain — grounds the wild frontier in the ordinary economy of livelihoods. The scene stays concrete and rustic throughout.
總評 Commentary
An interlude of quiet domestic observation, in which the chapter lingers over the texture of Boqin's establishment. The two spaces the hunter shows his guest are finely contrasted: the thatched armory, bristling with bows and blades and hung with bloody tiger-skins, before which the squeamish monk cannot bear to linger; and the great autumn garden, heaped with chrysanthemums and crimson maples, where a herd of half-tame deer gazes at the visitors without fear. Boqin's explanation of the deer — that a hunter lays up game as a townsman lays up treasure or a farmer his grain — sets the wild frontier household within the familiar order of livelihoods, and the whole passage, unhurried and richly particular, deepens the picture of the world into which the pilgrim has been received before the solemn business of the memorial service begins.
