撞這個大禍 When Did You Ever Cure Anyone
三藏喝道：「你跟我這幾年，那曾見你醫好誰來？你連藥性也不知，醫書也未讀，怎麼大膽撞這個大禍？」三藏喝道：「你跟我这几年，那曾见你医好谁来？你连药性也不知，医书也未读，怎么大胆撞这个大祸？」

三藏喝道：「你跟我這幾年，那曾見你醫好誰來？
三藏喝道：「你跟我这几年，那曾见你医好谁来？
Tripitaka shouted at him, "In all these years you have followed me, when was I ever to see you cure anybody?
喝 is hè, to say something at a shout — the third and last in the chapter, and all three are Tripitaka or Eight Rules losing patience. 那 keeps nà in 那曾, the spoken 'when ever'.
你連藥性也不知，醫書也未讀，怎麼大膽撞這個大禍？」
你连药性也不知，医书也未读，怎么大胆撞这个大祸？」
"You know nothing even of the properties of drugs, you have never read a medical book — how dare you go blundering into a disaster like this?"
撞 is to run into something headlong, and it is the same character as the 撞禍 Eight Rules was warned against twice in the street. What his master feared for the pig has been done by the monkey.
Tripitaka's objection is entirely factual and entirely futile, which has been his position for the whole chapter. Pilgrim knows no medicine, has read no medical book, has never cured anybody — and every one of those observations is true.
撞這個大禍 puts the affair in its proper category at last. Not a scheme and not a trick: a disaster walked into, of exactly the kind the master has spent the day telling his disciples to avoid.
