松陰女子 A Woman Beneath the Pines
大聖看夠多時，步下尖峰，入深山，找尋路徑。正自沒個消息，忽見松陰下有一女子，手折了一枝香蘭，嬝嬝娜娜而來。大圣看够多时，步下尖峰，入深山，找寻路径。正自没个消息，忽见松阴下有一女子，手折了一枝香兰，嬝嬝娜娜而来。

大聖看夠多時，步下尖峰，入深山，找尋路徑。
大圣看够多时，步下尖峰，入深山，找寻路径。
When the Great Sage had looked his fill, he stepped down from the pointed peak, entered the deep mountain and searched out a path.
看夠 is to have looked one's fill — the compound is about reaching a limit, not about carrying on.
正自沒個消息，忽見松陰下有一女子，手折了一枝香蘭，嬝嬝娜娜而來。
正自没个消息，忽见松阴下有一女子，手折了一枝香兰，嬝嬝娜娜而来。
Just as he was finding no trace of anything, he suddenly saw beneath the shade of the pines a woman, who had plucked a sprig of fragrant orchid and came along with a slow and swaying grace.
折 is zhé, to snap off or pluck. 嬝嬝娜娜 doubles a pair of syllables describing a slow swaying walk, and inside it 娜 is nuó, not the nà that turns up in foreign names — the underlying word is 嬝娜, of something slender in motion.
The transition happens in a single clause. The Great Sage has been looking at the mountain for as long as the poem took to describe it, and 看夠多時 both closes that contemplation and dismisses it. He came here for a person, and the instant he stops staring at scenery a person appears.
She is introduced entirely through movement and detail: the shade of the pines, the plucked orchid, the swaying walk. Nothing has identified her yet, and the Great Sage does not know what the reader may already have guessed. The orchid is not incidental — it marks her as somebody with leisure, picking flowers on a mountain that belongs to her, and the poem that follows will confirm the rank the detail implies.
