But let us say no more of Tripitaka meeting disaster. Sha Monk, meanwhile, had gone out of the wood to look for Bajie, a good ten li or more, without seeing a single hamlet.

三藏 zàng; 那 nà. The narrative cuts back to the searching disciples.

他tā卻què站zhàn在zài高gāo埠bù上shàng正zhèng然rán觀guān看kàn，只zhǐ聽tīng得de草cǎo中zhōng有yǒu人rén言yán語yǔ，急jí使shǐ杖zhàng撥bō開kāi深shēn草cǎo看kàn時shí，原yuán來lái是shì獃dāi子zi在zài裡lǐ面miàn說shuō夢mèng話huà哩lī。他tā却què站zhàn在zài高gāo埠bù上shàng正zhèng然rán观guān看kàn，只zhǐ听tīng得de草cǎo中zhōng有yǒu人rén言yán语yǔ，急jí使shǐ杖zhàng拨bō开kāi深shēn草cǎo看kàn时shí，原yuán来lái是shì呆dāi子zi在zài里lǐ面miàn说shuō梦mèng话huà哩lī。

He stood upon a high mound looking about, when he heard someone talking in the grass; quickly he parted the deep grass with his staff, and there was the blockhead inside, talking in his sleep.

聽得 de; 草中 zhōng. Bajie's dereliction discovered — talking in his sleep in the grass.

被bèi沙shā僧sēng揪jiū著zhe耳ěr朵duǒ，方fāng叫jiào醒xǐng了le。道dào：「好hǎo獃dāi子zi啊a！師shī父fù教jiào你nǐ化huà齋zhāi，許xǔ你nǐ在zài此cǐ睡shuì覺jiào的de？」被bèi沙shā僧sēng揪jiū著zhe耳ěr朵duǒ，方fāng叫jiào醒xǐng了le。道dào：「好hǎo呆dāi子zi啊a！师shī父fù教jiào你nǐ化huà斋zhāi，许xǔ你nǐ在zài此cǐ睡shuì觉jiào的de？」

Sha Monk grabbed him by the ears and finally roused him, saying, “A fine blockhead you are! The master sent you to beg food — did he give you leave to sleep here?”

揪著 zhe; 教你 jiào (“sent/bade”); 睡覺 jiào (“sleep”), not jué.

那nà獃dāi子zi冒mào冒mào失shī失shī的de醒xǐng來lái道dào：「兄xiōng弟dì，有yǒu甚shén時shí候hòu了le？」那nà呆dāi子zi冒mào冒mào失shī失shī的de醒xǐng来lái道dào：「兄xiōng弟dì，有yǒu甚shén时shí候hòu了le？」

The blockhead woke with a start and blurted, “Brother, what hour is it?”

那 nà; 有甚時候 shén.

沙shā僧sēng道dào：「快kuài起qǐ來lái，師shī父fù說shuō有yǒu齋zhāi沒méi齋zhāi也yě罷bà，教jiào你nǐ我wǒ那nǎ裡lǐ尋xún下xià住zhù處chù哩lī。」沙shā僧sēng道dào：「快kuài起qǐ来lái，师shī父fù说shuō有yǒu斋zhāi没méi斋zhāi也yě罢bà，教jiào你nǐ我wǒ那nǎ里lǐ寻xún下xià住zhù处chù哩lī。」

Said Sha Monk, “Get up, quick. The master says food or no food, never mind — he's told you and me to go find lodging somewhere.”

教你 jiào; 那裡 nǎ (“somewhere”).

總評 Commentary

The scene restores the chapter's comic register at the worst possible moment. While the master is bound to a soul-stake, his protector is found face-down in the grass “talking in his sleep,” hauled up by the ears like a truant. The juxtaposition is pointed: the disaster and the dereliction that caused it are shown in the same breath, and the reader holds both the peril and the absurdity at once.

Sha Monk's reproach — “did he give you leave to sleep here?” — carries the chapter's quiet judgment without moralizing. The two disciples are now, all unknowing, exactly on the path the demon foresaw: they will seek their vanished master and be drawn toward the gate. The comedy of the waking is the last light moment before the search turns grim.
