The Elder, hearing this from horseback, said: “You blockhead — here we are walking along, and how is it you talk nonsense again?”

夯貨 (hāng huò), "blockhead, oaf." 長老 — 長 read zhǎng.

八bā戒jiè道dào：「你nǐ兒ér子zi便biàn胡hú說shuō。你nǐ不bú看kàn見jiàn孫sūn行xíng者zhě那nà裡lǐ哭kū將jiāng來lái了le？他tā是shì個gè鑽zuān天tiān入rù地dì，斧fǔ砍kǎn火huǒ燒shāo，下xià油yóu鍋guō都dōu不bú怕pà的de好hǎo漢hàn；如rú今jīn戴dài了le個gè愁chóu帽mào，淚lèi汪wāng汪wāng的de哭kū來lái，必bì是shì那nà山shān險xiǎn峻jùn，妖yāo怪guài兇xiōng狠hěn。似sì我wǒ們men這zhè樣yàng軟ruǎn弱ruò的de人rén兒er，怎zěn麼me去qù得de？」八bā戒jiè道dào：「你nǐ儿ér子zi便biàn胡hú说shuō。你nǐ不bú看kàn见jiàn孙sūn行xíng者zhě那nà里lǐ哭kū将jiāng来lái了le？他tā是shì个gè钻zuān天tiān入rù地dì，斧fǔ砍kǎn火huǒ烧shāo，下xià油yóu锅guō都dōu不bú怕pà的de好hǎo汉hàn；如rú今jīn戴dài了le个gè愁chóu帽mào，泪lèi汪wāng汪wāng的de哭kū来lái，必bì是shì那nà山shān险xiǎn峻jùn，妖yāo怪guài凶xiōng狠hěn。似sì我wǒ们men这zhè样yàng软ruǎn弱ruò的de人rén儿er，怎zěn么me去qù得de？」

Said Eight Rules: “It’s your own son who talks nonsense. Do you not see Sun the Pilgrim coming yonder in tears? He is a fellow who bores into the sky and burrows through the earth, who fears neither the axe’s blow nor the fire’s burning nor the cauldron of oil; and now he has put on a cap of woe and comes weeping, eyes streaming — it must be that the mountain is steep and the fiends fierce. How are weak folk like us to get through?”

兒子 (ér zi), "son" — morphemic 兒 read ér; but 人兒 ("folk") takes suffixal er. 將 here directional jiāng (哭將來); 那 nà; 都 dōu; 去得 — 得 de.

長zhǎng老lǎo道dào：「你nǐ且qiě休xiū胡hú談tán，待dài我wǒ問wèn他tā一yì聲shēng，看kàn是shì怎zěn麼me說shuō話huà。」长zhǎng老lǎo道dào：「你nǐ且qiě休xiū胡hú谈tán，待dài我wǒ问wèn他tā一yì声shēng，看kàn是shì怎zěn么me说shuō话huà。」

Said the Elder: “Stop your idle talk; let me put him a question, and see what he says.”

胡談 (hú tán), "idle, wild talk." 長 read zhǎng.

問wèn道dào：「悟wù空kōng，有yǒu甚shén話huà當dāng面miàn計jì較jiào，你nǐ怎zěn麼me自zì家jiā煩fán惱nǎo？這zhè般bān樣yàng個gè哭kū包bāo臉liǎn，是shì虎hǔ諕xià我wǒ也yě？」问wèn道dào：「悟wù空kōng，有yǒu甚shén话huà当dāng面miàn计jì较jiào，你nǐ怎zěn么me自zì家jiā烦fán恼nǎo？这zhè般bān样yàng个gè哭kū包bāo脸liǎn，是shì虎hǔ諕xià我wǒ也yě？」

He asked: “Wukong, whatever there is to say, let us reckon it out face to face — why do you fret to yourself? With such a woebegone, crumpled face, are you trying to frighten me with talk of tigers?”

哭包臉 (kū bāo liǎn), "a woebegone, tearful face." 虎諕 (hǔ xià), "to frighten with tigers" — 諕 = 嚇, read xià. 甚 read shén.

總評 Commentary

The Elder rebukes Eight Rules for “talking nonsense,” and Eight Rules retorts in kind — “it’s your own son who talks nonsense” — before making his case with genuine, if self-serving, logic: if even the indestructible Pilgrim, who fears neither axe nor fire nor boiling oil, has been reduced to tears, the danger must be dire indeed. The reasoning is sound; only its premise, the sham tears, is false.

The Elder, unsettled, turns to question Pilgrim directly, and his phrasing — asking whether the monkey’s “woebegone face” is meant “to frighten me with talk of tigers” (虎諼) — shows a flicker of suspicion that the display may be theater. The scene turns on the gap between the master’s dawning doubt and his ultimate credulity, which Pilgrim is about to exploit.
