且慢車駕 Halt The Carriage A Moment

那nà獃dāi子zi急jí縱zòng雲yún頭tóu,上shàng山shān攔lán住zhù,厲lì聲shēng高gāo叫jiào道dào:「真zhēn君jūn,且qiě慢màn車chē駕jià,有yǒu齊qí天tiān大dà聖shèng請qǐng見jiàn哩li。」那nà爺yé爺ye見jiàn說shuō,即jí傳chuán令lìng,就jiù停tíng住zhù六liù兄xiōng弟dì,與yǔ八bā戒jiè相xiāng見jiàn畢bì,問wèn:「齊qí天tiān大dà聖shèng何hé在zài?」八bā戒jiè道dào:「現xiàn在zài山shān下xià聽tīng呼hū喚huàn。」二èr郎láng道dào:「兄xiōng弟dì們men,快kuài去qù請qǐng來lái。」那nà呆dāi子zi急jí纵zòng云yún头tóu,上shàng山shān拦lán住zhù,厉lì声shēng高gāo叫jiào道dào:「真zhēn君jūn,且qiě慢màn车chē驾jià,有yǒu齐qí天tiān大dà圣shèng请qǐng见jiàn哩li。」那nà爷yé爷ye见jiàn说shuō,即jí传chuán令lìng,就jiù停tíng住zhù六liù兄xiōng弟dì,与yǔ八bā戒jiè相xiāng见jiàn毕bì,问wèn:「齐qí天tiān大dà圣shèng何hé在zài?」八bā戒jiè道dào:「现xiàn在zài山shān下xià听tīng呼hū唤huàn。」二èr郎láng道dào:「兄xiōng弟dì们men,快kuài去qù请qǐng来lái。」

那nà獃dāi子zi急jí縱zòng雲yún頭tóu,上shàng山shān攔lán住zhù,厲lì聲shēng高gāo叫jiào道dào:「真zhēn君jūn,且qiě慢màn車chē駕jià,有yǒu齊qí天tiān大dà聖shèng請qǐng見jiàn哩li。」 那nà呆dāi子zi急jí纵zòng云yún头tóu,上shàng山shān拦lán住zhù,厉lì声shēng高gāo叫jiào道dào:「真zhēn君jūn,且qiě慢màn车chē驾jià,有yǒu齐qí天tiān大dà圣shèng请qǐng见jiàn哩li。」

The idiot leapt hastily up on his cloud, went up the mountain and blocked the way, and called out in a sharp loud voice, "True Lord, hold your carriage a moment — the Great Sage Equal to Heaven asks to see you."

哩 stands at li by the corpus-wide ruling, where pypinyin gives a level-tone lī. 獃子 keeps the neutral zi. Eight Rules delivers the message nearly word for word as dictated, changing only 且略住住 to 且慢車駕 and 在此進拜 to 請見 — that is, dropping the obeisance.

那nà爺yé爺ye見jiàn說shuō,即jí傳chuán令lìng,就jiù停tíng住zhù六liù兄xiōng弟dì,與yǔ八bā戒jiè相xiāng見jiàn畢bì,問wèn:「齊qí天tiān大dà聖shèng何hé在zài?」 那nà爷yé爷ye见jiàn说shuō,即jí传chuán令lìng,就jiù停tíng住zhù六liù兄xiōng弟dì,与yǔ八bā戒jiè相xiāng见jiàn毕bì,问wèn:「齐qí天tiān大dà圣shèng何hé在zài?」

His Lordship, hearing it, at once gave the word and halted the six brothers; and when he had exchanged greetings with Eight Rules, he asked, "Where is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"

爺爺 is set by the registered kinship reading, with a neutral second syllable — and the narrator applies it to Erlang, not any character, which is the text's own deference. 相 at 相見 is xiāng, the reciprocal. 傳令 is to pass down an order, the vocabulary of a commander.

八bā戒jiè道dào:「現xiàn在zài山shān下xià聽tīng呼hū喚huàn。」 八bā戒jiè道dào:「现xiàn在zài山shān下xià听tīng呼hū唤huàn。」

Eight Rules said, "He is down at the foot of the mountain, waiting to be called."

No graph in this segment stands in any guard roster. It carries its own attribution and closes its own quotation, so it stands alone however short. 聽呼喚 — waiting on a summons — is the posture of a subordinate, and Eight Rules supplies it without being told to.

二èr郎láng道dào:「兄xiōng弟dì們men,快kuài去qù請qǐng來lái。」 二èr郎láng道dào:「兄xiōng弟dì们men,快kuài去qù请qǐng来lái。」

Erlang said, "Brothers, go quickly and bring him up."

No graph in this segment stands in any guard roster either, and it too carries its own attribution and closes its own quotation. 請 is to invite rather than to fetch, and Erlang's order to his brothers uses the courteous verb even though the man is waiting below to be summoned.


總評 Commentary

The protocol works, and it works because everybody performs their part exactly. Eight Rules blocks the road and shouts; the god halts his party; greetings are exchanged with the herald before any question is asked; and only then does he ask where the principal is.

The two small departures are both Eight Rules'. He changes 且略住住 — halt just a little — into 且慢車駕, hold your carriage, which is grander; and he drops 進拜, comes to pay his respects, in favour of 請見, asks to see you. The obeisance Pilgrim had carefully put into his own mouth does not survive the delivery.

He then puts it back in a different form. Asked where Pilgrim is, he says the Great Sage is at the foot of the mountain 聽呼喚, waiting on a call — which is a good deal humbler than anything Pilgrim actually said.
