樵qiáo子zi道dào：「和hé尚shàng，他tā那nǎ裡lǐ有yǒu這zhè許xǔ多duō工gōng夫fu，只zhǐ是shì把bǎ你nǐ拿ná住zhù，綑kǔn在zài籠lóng裡lǐ，囫hú圇lún蒸zhēng吃chī了le。」行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào：「這zhè個gè更gèng好hǎo，更gèng好hǎo。疼téng倒dào不bù忍rěn疼téng，只zhǐ是shì受shòu些xiē悶mèn氣qì罷bà了le。」樵qiáo子zi道dào：「和hé尚shàng不bú要yào調tiáo嘴zuǐ。那nà妖yāo怪guài隨suí身shēn有yǒu五wǔ件jiàn寶bǎo貝bèi，神shén通tōng極jí大dà極jí廣guǎng。就jiù是shì擎qíng天tiān的de玉yù柱zhù，架jià海hǎi的de金jīn梁liáng，若ruò保bǎo得de唐táng朝cháo和hé尚shàng去qù，也yě須xū要yào發fā發fā昏hūn是shì。」行xíng者zhě道dào：「發fā幾jǐ個gè昏hūn麼me？」樵qiáo子zi道dào：「要yào發fā三sān四sì個gè昏hūn是shì。」行xíng者zhě道dào：「不bù打dǎ緊jǐn，不bù打dǎ緊jǐn。我wǒ們men一yì年nián，常cháng發fā七qī八bā百bǎi個gè昏hūn兒er，這zhè三sān四sì個gè昏hūn兒er易yì得de發fā，發fā發fā兒er就jiù過guò去qù了le。」樵qiáo子zi道dào：「和hé尚shàng，他tā那nǎ里lǐ有yǒu这zhè许xǔ多duō工gōng夫fu，只zhǐ是shì把bǎ你nǐ拿ná住zhù，捆kǔn在zài笼lóng里lǐ，囫hú囵lún蒸zhēng吃chī了le。」行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào：「这zhè个gè更gèng好hǎo，更gèng好hǎo。疼téng倒dào不bù忍rěn疼téng，只zhǐ是shì受shòu些xiē闷mèn气qì罢bà了le。」樵qiáo子zi道dào：「和hé尚shàng不bú要yào调tiáo嘴zuǐ。那nà妖yāo怪guài随suí身shēn有yǒu五wǔ件jiàn宝bǎo贝bèi，神shén通tōng极jí大dà极jí广guǎng。就jiù是shì擎qíng天tiān的de玉yù柱zhù，架jià海hǎi的de金jīn梁liáng，若ruò保bǎo得de唐táng朝cháo和hé尚shàng去qù，也yě须xū要yào发fā发fā昏hūn是shì。」行xíng者zhě道dào：「发fā几jǐ个gè昏hūn么me？」樵qiáo子zi道dào：「要yào发fā三sān四sì个gè昏hūn是shì。」行xíng者zhě道dào：「不bù打dǎ紧jǐn，不bù打dǎ紧jǐn。我wǒ们men一yì年nián，常cháng发fā七qī八bā百bǎi个gè昏hūn儿er，这zhè三sān四sì个gè昏hūn儿er易yì得de发fā，发fā发fā儿er就jiù过guò去qù了le。」

樵qiáo子zi道dào：「和hé尚shàng，他tā那nǎ裡lǐ有yǒu這zhè許xǔ多duō工gōng夫fu，只zhǐ是shì把bǎ你nǐ拿ná住zhù，綑kǔn在zài籠lóng裡lǐ，囫hú圇lún蒸zhēng吃chī了le。」樵qiáo子zi道dào：「和hé尚shàng，他tā那nǎ里lǐ有yǒu这zhè许xǔ多duō工gōng夫fu，只zhǐ是shì把bǎ你nǐ拿ná住zhù，捆kǔn在zài笼lóng里lǐ，囫hú囵lún蒸zhēng吃chī了le。」

Said the woodcutter: “Monk, where would they find so much leisure? They will simply take you, bind you in a basket, and steam you whole to eat.”

囫圇 (húlún), "whole, entire." 籠, "a steaming-basket." 他那裡有, rhetorical "where would they have…" — 那 here nǎ.

行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào：「這zhè個gè更gèng好hǎo，更gèng好hǎo。疼téng倒dào不bù忍rěn疼téng，只zhǐ是shì受shòu些xiē悶mèn氣qì罷bà了le。」行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào：「这zhè个gè更gèng好hǎo，更gèng好hǎo。疼téng倒dào不bù忍rěn疼téng，只zhǐ是shì受shòu些xiē闷mèn气qì罢bà了le。」

Pilgrim laughed: “That is better still, better still. As for pain, there would be no pain to bear — only a little stuffiness to put up with.”

悶氣 (mèn qì), "stuffiness, stifling air." 疼倒 (téng dào) — 倒 adversative dào.

樵qiáo子zi道dào：「和hé尚shàng不bú要yào調tiáo嘴zuǐ。那nà妖yāo怪guài隨suí身shēn有yǒu五wǔ件jiàn寶bǎo貝bèi，神shén通tōng極jí大dà極jí廣guǎng。就jiù是shì擎qíng天tiān的de玉yù柱zhù，架jià海hǎi的de金jīn梁liáng，若ruò保bǎo得de唐táng朝cháo和hé尚shàng去qù，也yě須xū要yào發fā發fā昏hūn是shì。」樵qiáo子zi道dào：「和hé尚shàng不bú要yào调tiáo嘴zuǐ。那nà妖yāo怪guài随suí身shēn有yǒu五wǔ件jiàn宝bǎo贝bèi，神shén通tōng极jí大dà极jí广guǎng。就jiù是shì擎qíng天tiān的de玉yù柱zhù，架jià海hǎi的de金jīn梁liáng，若ruò保bǎo得de唐táng朝cháo和hé尚shàng去qù，也yě须xū要yào发fā发fā昏hūn是shì。」

Said the woodcutter: “Monk, do not wag your tongue. Those fiends carry five treasures upon them, and their powers are vast beyond measure. Were you the very jade pillar that props up the sky, the golden beam that spans the sea, to see a monk of Tang through safely you would still have to swoon a good few times.”

調嘴 (tiáo zuǐ), "to wag the tongue, wisecrack" — 調 read tiáo. 擎天玉柱 / 架海金梁, "sky-propping jade pillar, sea-spanning golden beam." 那 nà; 保得 — 得 potential de.

行xíng者zhě道dào：「發fā幾jǐ個gè昏hūn麼me？」行xíng者zhě道dào：「发fā几jǐ个gè昏hūn么me？」

Said Pilgrim: “Swoon how many times?”

發昏 (fā hūn), "to swoon, faint."

樵qiáo子zi道dào：「要yào發fā三sān四sì個gè昏hūn是shì。」樵qiáo子zi道dào：「要yào发fā三sān四sì个gè昏hūn是shì。」

Said the woodcutter: “You would have to swoon three or four times.”

三四個昏 (sān sì gè hūn), "three or four swoons."

行xíng者zhě道dào：「不bù打dǎ緊jǐn，不bù打dǎ緊jǐn。我wǒ們men一yì年nián，常cháng發fā七qī八bā百bǎi個gè昏hūn兒er，這zhè三sān四sì個gè昏hūn兒er易yì得de發fā，發fā發fā兒er就jiù過guò去qù了le。」行xíng者zhě道dào：「不bù打dǎ紧jǐn，不bù打dǎ紧jǐn。我wǒ们men一yì年nián，常cháng发fā七qī八bā百bǎi个gè昏hūn儿er，这zhè三sān四sì个gè昏hūn儿er易yì得de发fā，发fā发fā儿er就jiù过guò去qù了le。」

Said Pilgrim: “No matter, no matter. In a single year we commonly swoon some seven or eight hundred times; these three or four are easily had — a swoon or two and it will all be over.”

不打緊 (bù dǎ jǐn), "no matter, of no consequence." 昏兒 — 兒 suffixal er (thrice); 易得發 — 得 de.

總評 Commentary

The woodcutter corrects Pilgrim’s culinary speculations — the demons will simply steam him whole — and Pilgrim, undeterred, pronounces this “better still,” a mere matter of “stuffiness.” But the officer’s warning now delivers the episode’s real intelligence: the demons carry five treasures and command powers so vast that even a cosmic pillar or sea-spanning beam would have to “swoon a few times” to bring the monk through.

The 發昆 (“swooning”) banter that closes the exchange is pure comic deflation: told he must faint three or four times, Pilgrim boasts that the band faints seven or eight hundred times a year and will manage these with ease. The joke domesticates the officer’s dire warning, but the number five — five treasures — has been planted, and it is these that will drive the whole Gold- and Silver-Horn arc to come.
