卻què說shuō那nà怪guài懼jù怕pà猴hóu王wáng，回huí於yú水shuǐ底dǐ，正zhèng在zài窩wō中zhōng歇xiē息xī，只zhǐ聽tīng得de叫jiào他tā法fǎ名míng。情qíng知zhī是shì觀guān音yīn菩pú薩sà；又yòu聞wén得de說shuō「取qǔ經jīng人rén在zài此cǐ」：他tā也yě不bú懼jù斧fǔ鉞yuè，急jí翻fān波bō伸shēn出chū頭tóu來lái，又yòu認rèn得de是shì木mù吒zhā行xíng者zhě。你nǐ看kàn他tā笑xiào盈yíng盈yíng，上shàng前qián作zuò禮lǐ道dào：「尊zūn者zhě失shī迎yíng。菩pú薩sà今jīn在zài何hé處chù？」木mù吒zhā道dào：「我wǒ師shī未wèi來lái，先xiān差chāi我wǒ來lái吩fēn咐fù你nǐ早zǎo跟gēn唐táng僧sēng做zuò個gè徒tú弟dì。叫jiào把bǎ你nǐ項xiàng下xià掛guà的de骷kū髏lóu與yǔ這zhè個gè葫hú蘆lú，按àn九jiǔ宮gōng結jié做zuò一yì隻zhī法fǎ船chuán，渡dù他tā過guò此cǐ弱ruò水shuǐ。」悟wù淨jìng道dào：「取qǔ經jīng人rén卻què在zài那nǎ裡lǐ？」木mù吒zhā用yòng手shǒu指zhǐ道dào：「那nà東dōng岸àn上shàng坐zuò的de不bú是shì？」悟wù淨jìng看kàn見jiàn了le八bā戒jiè道dào：「他tā不bù知zhī是shì那nǎ裡lǐ來lái的de個gè潑pō物wù，與yǔ我wǒ整zhěng鬥dòu了le這zhè兩liǎng日rì，何hé曾zēng言yán著zháo一yí個gè取qǔ經jīng的de字zì兒ér？」又yòu看kàn見jiàn行xíng者zhě，道dào：「這zhè個gè主zhǔ子zi，是shì他tā的de幫bāng手shǒu，好hǎo不bú利lì害hài，我wǒ不bú去qù了le。」木mù吒zhā道dào：「那nà是shì豬zhū八bā戒jiè，這zhè是shì孫sūn行xíng者zhě，俱jù是shì唐táng僧sēng的de徒tú弟dì，俱jù是shì菩pú薩sà勸quàn化huà的de，怕pà他tā怎zěn的de？我wǒ且qiě和hé你nǐ見jiàn唐táng僧sēng去qù。」却què说shuō那nà怪guài惧jù怕pà猴hóu王wáng，回huí于yú水shuǐ底dǐ，正zhèng在zài窝wō中zhōng歇xiē息xī，只zhǐ听tīng得de叫jiào他tā法fǎ名míng。情qíng知zhī是shì观guān音yīn菩pú萨sà；又yòu闻wén得de说shuō「取qǔ经jīng人rén在zài此cǐ」：他tā也yě不bú惧jù斧fǔ钺yuè，急jí翻fān波bō伸shēn出chū头tóu来lái，又yòu认rèn得de是shì木mù咤zhā行xíng者zhě。你nǐ看kàn他tā笑xiào盈yíng盈yíng，上shàng前qián作zuò礼lǐ道dào：「尊zūn者zhě失shī迎yíng。菩pú萨sà今jīn在zài何hé处chù？」木mù咤zhā道dào：「我wǒ师shī未wèi来lái，先xiān差chāi我wǒ来lái吩fēn咐fù你nǐ早zǎo跟gēn唐táng僧sēng做zuò个gè徒tú弟dì。叫jiào把bǎ你nǐ项xiàng下xià挂guà的de骷kū髅lóu与yǔ这zhè个gè葫hú芦lú，按àn九jiǔ宫gōng结jié做zuò一yì只zhī法fǎ船chuán，渡dù他tā过guò此cǐ弱ruò水shuǐ。」悟wù净jìng道dào：「取qǔ经jīng人rén却què在zài那nǎ里lǐ？」木mù咤zhā用yòng手shǒu指zhǐ道dào：「那nà东dōng岸àn上shàng坐zuò的de不bú是shì？」悟wù净jìng看kàn见jiàn了le八bā戒jiè道dào：「他tā不bù知zhī是shì那nǎ里lǐ来lái的de个gè泼pō物wù，与yǔ我wǒ整zhěng斗dòu了le这zhè两liǎng日rì，何hé曾zēng言yán著zháo一yí个gè取qǔ经jīng的de字zì儿ér？」又yòu看kàn见jiàn行xíng者zhě，道dào：「这zhè个gè主zhǔ子zi，是shì他tā的de帮bāng手shǒu，好hǎo不bú利lì害hài，我wǒ不bú去qù了le。」木mù咤zhā道dào：「那nà是shì猪zhū八bā戒jiè，这zhè是shì孙sūn行xíng者zhě，俱jù是shì唐táng僧sēng的de徒tú弟dì，俱jù是shì菩pú萨sà劝quàn化huà的de，怕pà他tā怎zěn的de？我wǒ且qiě和hé你nǐ见jiàn唐táng僧sēng去qù。」

逐句解 Line by line

卻què說shuō那nà怪guài懼jù怕pà猴hóu王wáng，回huí於yú水shuǐ底dǐ，正zhèng在zài窩wō中zhōng歇xiē息xī，只zhǐ聽tīng得de叫jiào他tā法fǎ名míng。却què说shuō那nà怪guài惧jù怕pà猴hóu王wáng，回huí于yú水shuǐ底dǐ，正zhèng在zài窝wō中zhōng歇xiē息xī，只zhǐ听tīng得de叫jiào他tā法fǎ名míng。

Now the monster, in dread of the Monkey King, had gone back to the bottom of the water and was resting in his lair, when he heard someone call his religious name.

懼怕猴王 ('afraid of the Monkey King'; 那 nà, 中 zhōng, 得 de) — the demon hides not from Bajie but from the monkey, whose stroke he could not face.

情qíng知zhī是shì觀guān音yīn菩pú薩sà；又yòu聞wén得de說shuō「取qǔ經jīng人rén在zài此cǐ」：情qíng知zhī是shì观guān音yīn菩pú萨sà；又yòu闻wén得de说shuō「取qǔ经jīng人rén在zài此cǐ」：

He knew at once it was the Bodhisattva Guanyin, and heard besides the words 'The scripture-seekers are here':

情知 ('knew in his heart'; 得 de) — the demon recognizes his summoner and the phrase that changes everything, the disclosure the pilgrims had withheld.

他tā也yě不bú懼jù斧fǔ鉞yuè，急jí翻fān波bō伸shēn出chū頭tóu來lái，又yòu認rèn得de是shì木mù吒zhā行xíng者zhě。他tā也yě不bú惧jù斧fǔ钺yuè，急jí翻fān波bō伸shēn出chū头tóu来lái，又yòu认rèn得de是shì木mù咤zhā行xíng者zhě。

Fearing no axe or halberd now, he swiftly stirred the waves, thrust out his head, and saw that it was Mokṣa the Pilgrim.

不懼斧鉞 ('fearing no headsman's axe') — at the Bodhisattva's word he comes out openly, unafraid; 認得 (得 de), 行 xíng.

你nǐ看kàn他tā笑xiào盈yíng盈yíng，上shàng前qián作zuò禮lǐ道dào：「尊zūn者zhě失shī迎yíng。菩pú薩sà今jīn在zài何hé處chù？」你nǐ看kàn他tā笑xiào盈yíng盈yíng，上shàng前qián作zuò礼lǐ道dào：「尊zūn者zhě失shī迎yíng。菩pú萨sà今jīn在zài何hé处chù？」

See how, all smiles, he came forward and made his bow: 'Reverend one, forgive my not receiving you. Where is the Bodhisattva now?' Mokṣa said:

笑盈盈 ('brimming with smiles') and 失迎 ('failed to welcome you') — the fiend who traded curses is at once all courtesy, the transformation the name has wrought.

木mù吒zhā道dào：「我wǒ師shī未wèi來lái，先xiān差chāi我wǒ來lái吩fēn咐fù你nǐ早zǎo跟gēn唐táng僧sēng做zuò個gè徒tú弟dì。木mù咤zhā道dào：「我wǒ师shī未wèi来lái，先xiān差chāi我wǒ来lái吩fēn咐fù你nǐ早zǎo跟gēn唐táng僧sēng做zuò个gè徒tú弟dì。

'My mistress has not come; she sent me ahead to tell you to follow the Tang Monk at once and become his disciple.'

先差我來 ('sent me on ahead'; 差 chāi, to dispatch, not chà) — Mokṣa delivers Guanyin's command that the demon join the pilgrimage.

叫jiào把bǎ你nǐ項xiàng下xià掛guà的de骷kū髏lóu與yǔ這zhè個gè葫hú蘆lú，按àn九jiǔ宮gōng結jié做zuò一yì隻zhī法fǎ船chuán，渡dù他tā過guò此cǐ弱ruò水shuǐ。」叫jiào把bǎ你nǐ项xiàng下xià挂guà的de骷kū髅lóu与yǔ这zhè个gè葫hú芦lú，按àn九jiǔ宫gōng结jié做zuò一yì只zhī法fǎ船chuán，渡dù他tā过guò此cǐ弱ruò水shuǐ。」

'She bids you take the skulls hung at your neck, together with this gourd, and bind them by the Nine Palaces into a dharma-boat, to ferry them across this Weak Water.'

項下掛的骷髏 ('the skulls hung at your neck'; 的 de) — the demon's own grisly ornament is to be the material of the boat, as Guanyin instructed.

悟wù淨jìng道dào：「取qǔ經jīng人rén卻què在zài那nǎ裡lǐ？」木mù吒zhā用yòng手shǒu指zhǐ道dào：「那nà東dōng岸àn上shàng坐zuò的de不bú是shì？」悟wù净jìng道dào：「取qǔ经jīng人rén却què在zài那nǎ里lǐ？」木mù咤zhā用yòng手shǒu指zhǐ道dào：「那nà东dōng岸àn上shàng坐zuò的de不bú是shì？」

Wujing said: 'And where are the scripture-seekers?' Mokṣa pointed with his hand: 'Isn't that them, seated on the eastern bank?'

那裡 ('where'; 那 nǎ, interrogative) against 那東岸 ('that eastern bank'; 那 nà, demonstrative) — the two readings of 那 side by side, question and answer.

悟wù淨jìng看kàn見jiàn了le八bā戒jiè道dào：「他tā不bù知zhī是shì那nǎ裡lǐ來lái的de個gè潑pō物wù，悟wù净jìng看kàn见jiàn了le八bā戒jiè道dào：「他tā不bù知zhī是shì那nǎ里lǐ来lái的de个gè泼pō物wù，

Wujing looked and, seeing Bajie, said: 'I don't know where that vile creature came from —

那裡來的 ('come from where'; 那 nǎ) — Wujing, not yet reconciled, still speaks of Bajie as an unknown ruffian.

與yǔ我wǒ整zhěng鬥dòu了le這zhè兩liǎng日rì，何hé曾zēng言yán著zháo一yí個gè取qǔ經jīng的de字zì兒ér？」与yǔ我wǒ整zhěng斗dòu了le这zhè两liǎng日rì，何hé曾zēng言yán著zháo一yí个gè取qǔ经jīng的de字zì儿ér？」

'he battled me these two whole days, and never once uttered a single word about fetching scriptures!'

何曾言著 ('when did he ever speak'; 著 zháo) — the demon's complaint confirms the Bodhisattva's diagnosis exactly: the fight was a failure to disclose.

又yòu看kàn見jiàn行xíng者zhě，道dào：「這zhè個gè主zhǔ子zi，是shì他tā的de幫bāng手shǒu，好hǎo不bú利lì害hài，我wǒ不bú去qù了le。」又yòu看kàn见jiàn行xíng者zhě，道dào：「这zhè个gè主zhǔ子zi，是shì他tā的de帮bāng手shǒu，好hǎo不bú利lì害hài，我wǒ不bú去qù了le。」

Then, catching sight of the Pilgrim, he said: 'That master there is his helper — terribly fierce; I won't go.'

好不利害 ('how very formidable'; 行 xíng, 子 zi) — Wujing balks at the monkey, whose blows drove him under; his old dread reasserts itself.

木mù吒zhā道dào：「那nà是shì豬zhū八bā戒jiè，這zhè是shì孫sūn行xíng者zhě，木mù咤zhā道dào：「那nà是shì猪zhū八bā戒jiè，这zhè是shì孙sūn行xíng者zhě，

Mokṣa said: 'That is Zhu Bajie, and this is Sun Wukong,

那是 ('that is'; 那 nà) — Mokṣa names the two disciples to set the demon's fears at rest.

俱jù是shì唐táng僧sēng的de徒tú弟dì，俱jù是shì菩pú薩sà勸quàn化huà的de，怕pà他tā怎zěn的de？我wǒ且qiě和hé你nǐ見jiàn唐táng僧sēng去qù。」俱jù是shì唐táng僧sēng的de徒tú弟dì，俱jù是shì菩pú萨sà劝quàn化huà的de，怕pà他tā怎zěn的de？我wǒ且qiě和hé你nǐ见jiàn唐táng僧sēng去qù。」

'both disciples of the Tang Monk, and both converts of the Bodhisattva — why fear them? Come, let me take you to meet the Tang Monk.'

俱是菩薩勸化的 ('both won over by the Bodhisattva'; 的 de) — the reassurance that binds all three as fellow-converts, dissolving the demon's last reluctance.

總評 Commentary

The demon's transformation is instantaneous and complete, and the narrative makes its cause plain: it is the name and the message, not any show of force, that draw him out. Hidden in dread of the monkey's stroke, he hears his religious name and the words 'the scripture-seekers are here,' and at once fears 'no axe or halberd,' comes out 'all smiles,' and makes his courteous bow. The fiend who spat curses and cannibal threats is, at a word from Guanyin's envoy, a decorous disciple-in-waiting.

His two objections are quietly telling. His complaint against Bajie — that they fought two days and 'never once uttered a single word about fetching scriptures' — confirms the Bodhisattva's diagnosis to the letter. And his lingering dread of the monkey, whom he still calls 'terribly fierce,' shows the fear was always of the Great Sage alone; it takes Mokṣa's assurance that both are Guanyin's own converts to lay it to rest. The passage completes the chapter's argument that this barrier was never a matter for force, but for recognition among those the Bodhisattva had already claimed.
