他tā兄xiōng弟dì三sān眾zhòng各gè舉jǔ神shén兵bīng，一yì齊qí攻gōng打dǎ；那nà大dà仙xiān只zhǐ把bǎ蠅yíng帚zhǒu兒er演yǎn架jià。他tā兄xiōng弟dì三sān众zhòng各gè举jǔ神shén兵bīng，一yì齐qí攻gōng打dǎ；那nà大dà仙xiān只zhǐ把bǎ蝇yíng帚zhǒu儿er演yǎn架jià。

The three brothers each raised their divine weapons and attacked all at once; but the Great Immortal only parried with his fly-whisk.

各舉神兵 (gè jǔ shénbīng) "each raised his divine weapon." 蠅帚兒 (yíng zhǒu'r) "a fly-whisk," 蠅 (yíng), with suffix 兒 (er)—the same effortless defence.

那nǎ裡lǐ有yǒu半bàn個gè時shí辰chén，他tā將jiāng袍páo袖xiù一yì展zhǎn，依yī然rán將jiāng四sì僧sēng一yì馬mǎ並bìng行xíng李lǐ一yí袖xiù籠lóng去qù。那nǎ里lǐ有yǒu半bàn个gè时shí辰chén，他tā将jiāng袍páo袖xiù一yì展zhǎn，依yī然rán将jiāng四sì僧sēng一yì马mǎ并bìng行xíng李lǐ一yí袖xiù笼lóng去qù。

In scarcely half a watch, he gave his gown-sleeve a spread and, as before, bagged the four monks, the one horse, and the luggage into his sleeve.

那裡有半個時辰 (nǎlǐ yǒu bàn gè shíchen) "in scarcely half an hour," rhetorical 那 (nǎ). 並行李一袖籠去 (bìng xíngli yí xiù lǒng qù) "and the luggage, bagged in one sleeve," 行 (xíng).

返fǎn雲yún頭tóu，又yòu到dào觀guàn裡lǐ，眾zhòng仙xiān接jiē著zhe。返fǎn云yún头tóu，又yòu到dào观guàn里lǐ，众zhòng仙xiān接jiē著zhe。

He turned his cloud, came again to the abbey, and the immortals received him.

又到觀裡 (yòu dào guàn lǐ) "came again into the abbey," 觀 (guàn). 眾仙接著 (zhòng xiān jiē zhe) "the immortals received [him]," durative 著 (zhe).

仙xiān師shī坐zuò於yú殿diàn上shàng，卻què又yòu在zài袖xiù兒er裡lǐ一yí個gè個gè搬bān出chū：將jiāng唐táng僧sēng綁bǎng在zài階jiē下xià矮ǎi槐huái樹shù上shàng；八bā戒jiè、沙shā僧sēng各gè綁bǎng在zài兩liǎng邊biān樹shù上shàng；將jiāng行xíng者zhě捆kǔn倒dǎo。仙xiān师shī坐zuò于yú殿diàn上shàng，却què又yòu在zài袖xiù儿er里lǐ一yí个gè个gè搬bān出chū：将jiāng唐táng僧sēng绑bǎng在zài阶jiē下xià矮ǎi槐huái树shù上shàng；八bā戒jiè、沙shā僧sēng各gè绑bǎng在zài两liǎng边biān树shù上shàng；将jiāng行xíng者zhě捆kǔn倒dǎo。

The immortal master sat down on the hall and drew them out of his sleeve again, one by one: he bound the Tang Monk to a low pagoda-tree at the foot of the steps; Bajie and Wujing he bound to trees on either side; and the Pilgrim he trussed up on the ground.

袖兒裡 (xiù'r lǐ) "within the sleeve," suffix 兒 (er). 矮槐樹 (ǎi huái shù) "a low pagoda-tree," 槐 (huái). 將行者捆倒 (jiāng xíngzhě kǔn dǎo) "trussed the Pilgrim down," 倒 (dǎo) "to lay down."

總評 Commentary

The second capture repeats the first with grim economy: the whisk against three weapons, the sleeve that swallows the whole party, the pilgrims drawn out and bound. That Wukong is "trussed up on the ground" while the others are tied to trees marks him as the chief culprit, singled out for the harsher handling that the rest of the chapter—wrapping, lacquering, and the cauldron—will devise for him.
