說shuō著zhe話huà,懊ào惱nǎo多duō時shí,不bù覺jué的de雞jī鳴míng天tiān曉xiǎo。 说shuō着zhe话huà,懊ào恼nǎo多duō时shí,不bù觉jué的de鸡jī鸣míng天tiān晓xiǎo。

As they talked on and fretted, a good while passed, and before they knew it the cocks were crowing and the sky growing light.

說著話: 著 is zhe, an action going on. 不覺的: 覺 is jué, being aware, and the 的 here is de — the whole phrase means "before they knew it."

那nà高gāo峰fēng上shàng太tài子zǐ得dé了le六liù件jiàn兵bīng器qì,對duì行xíng者zhě道dào:「大dà聖shèng,天tiān色sè已yǐ明míng,不bù須xū怠dài慢màn,我wǒ們men趁chèn那nà妖yāo魔mó挫cuò了le銳ruì氣qì,與yǔ火huǒ部bù等děng扶fú助zhù你nǐ,再zài去qù力lì戰zhàn,庶shù幾jǐ這zhè次cì可kě擒qín拿ná也yě。」 那nà高gāo峰fēng上shàng太tài子zǐ得dé了le六liù件jiàn兵bīng器qì,对duì行xíng者zhě道dào:「大dà圣shèng,天tiān色sè已yǐ明míng,不bù须xū怠dài慢màn,我wǒ们men趁chèn那nà妖yāo魔mó挫cuò了le锐ruì气qì,与yǔ火huǒ部bù等děng扶fú助zhù你nǐ,再zài去qù力lì战zhàn,庶shù几jǐ这zhè次cì可kě擒qín拿ná也yě。」

On the high peak the Prince, having got back his six weapons, said to Pilgrim: "Great Sage, the sky is already light. We must not be slack. Let us take the fiend while his edge is blunted, and with the fire departments and the rest to second you, go and fight him again with all our force — this time we may well take him."

Sound soldiering, and the third such plan in two chapters. Both 那 (那高峰, 那妖魔) point and are nà; both 了 are le. 太子: 子 is zǐ; 得了: 得 is dé. 挫了銳氣 is "his keen edge blunted."

行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào:「說shuō得dé有yǒu理lǐ。我wǒ們men齊qí了le心xīn,耍shuǎ子zi兒er去qù耶yé。」 行xíng者zhě笑xiào道dào:「说shuō得dé有yǒu理lǐ。我wǒ们men齐qí了le心xīn,耍shuǎ子zi儿er去qù耶yé。」

Pilgrim laughed and said: "There is reason in what you say. Let us set our hearts together, and go and have some sport."

Pilgrim agrees, and then downgrades a pitched battle to a day out. 說得有理: 得 is dé on the established ruling. 耍子兒: 子 is the bare ending zi, 兒 is er — "to play, to have some sport." 齊了: 了 is le. He has been robbed twice by this demon and he calls the rematch an outing.

一yí個gè個gè抖dǒu擻sǒu威wēi風fēng,喜xǐ弄nòng武wǔ藝yì,徑jìng至zhì洞dòng口kǒu。 一yí个gè个gè抖dǒu擞sǒu威wēi风fēng,喜xǐ弄nòng武wǔ艺yì,径jìng至zhì洞dòng口kǒu。

Every one of them shook out his martial spirit, delighting to try his skill, and they went straight to the cave mouth.

一個個: 一 is yí before a fourth tone. 抖擻威風 is "to shake out one's martial bearing", the way a bird fluffs itself up.

行xíng者zhě叫jiào道dào:「潑pō魔mó出chū來lái,與yǔ老lǎo孫sūn打dǎ者zhě。」 行xíng者zhě叫jiào道dào:「泼pō魔mó出chū来lái,与yǔ老lǎo孙sūn打dǎ者zhě。」

Pilgrim called out: "Foul fiend, come out and have it out with Old Monkey!"

打者 — the 者 here is the vernacular imperative tag, "come on then, do it." It is not the 者 of 行者, which makes an agent noun.


總評 Commentary

The night's work is settled in four sentences and the day's plan in one. Nezha's argument is sound soldiering — the enemy has lost his armoury and most of his people and is off his edge, so strike now with everything — and it is not the first competent plan that has been laid against this demon. The reader by now knows exactly what such a plan is worth, since none of it touches the ring.

Pilgrim's answer is worth its note. He agrees, and then reclassifies the assault as 耍子兒, an outing, a bit of fun. The register is deliberately low — the same voice that called burglary a 買賣, a trade, a few passages back — and it keeps the chapter's comedy running underneath the escalation. He has been robbed twice and has burnt out a cave overnight, and he goes down the mountain talking like a boy off to a fair.
