邀觀山景 Come See My Mountain
行者聞言,跳下崖來,用手攙住八戒道:「賢弟,累你遠來,且和我耍耍兒去。」八戒道:「哥啊,這個所在路遠,恐師父盼望去遲,我不耍子了。」行者道:「你也是到此一場,看看我的山景何如?」那獃子不敢苦辭,只得隨他走走。行者闻言,跳下崖来,用手搀住八戒道:「贤弟,累你远来,且和我耍耍儿去。」八戒道:「哥啊,这个所在路远,恐师父盼望去迟,我不耍子了。」行者道:「你也是到此一场,看看我的山景何如?」那呆子不敢苦辞,只得随他走走。
逐句解 Line by line
At these words the Pilgrim leapt down from the cliff, took Bajie by the hand, and said: "Worthy brother, you’ve come a long way for my sake — come, play a while with me first."
攙住 is "to take by the arm"; in 耍耍兒 the colloquial 兒 is er. Wukong’s sudden warmth — leaping down, taking Bajie’s hand — signals that the flattery has softened him.
Bajie said: "Brother, this place is far off — I fear the master will be watching for us and we’ll be late; I’ll not stop to play."
耍子 ("to play, dally") takes 子 as suffixal zi; 盼望, "to watch and hope for." Bajie, mindful of the errand, presses to leave.
The Pilgrim said: "Since you’ve come all this way, at least look at my mountain scenery — how do you find it?"
到此一場 ("having come all this way"). Wukong will have his tour first, in no hurry — the master of the ground sets the pace.
The blockhead dared not refuse outright, and could only go along with him.
那 is deictic nà; 苦辭 is "to decline firmly"; 只得 ("could only") takes 得 as dé. Bajie yields, deferring to Wukong on his own mountain.
The power has shifted back to Wukong. Softened by the flattery yet in no hurry to leave, he insists on showing Bajie the mountain first — and Bajie, for all his anxiety about the errand, "dares not refuse outright" and must trail along. The small comedy of the tour, imposed by the host on the impatient guest, re-establishes Wukong’s command and delays, teasingly, the resolution the plot is driving toward.
