Hearing this, Pilgrim was filled with delight. He swallowed the wine in the great goblet at two gulps, and asked the king with a laugh, "So this is the fright Your Majesty has been carrying.

The great goblet that took a whole passage to offer goes down in two gulps. 聞得 keeps the full dé, and 將 is jiāng, taking an object forward.

今jīn遇yù老lǎo孫sūn,幸xìng而ér獲huò愈yù。 今jīn遇yù老lǎo孙sūn,幸xìng而ér获huò愈yù。

"Now you have met Old Sun, and by good fortune you are cured.

Self-congratulation, placed neatly between the confession and the question he actually wants to ask.

但dàn不bù知zhī可kě要yào金jīn聖shèng宮gōng回huí國guó?」 但dàn不bù知zhī可kě要yào金jīn圣shèng宫gōng回huí国guó?」

"But I do not know — would you have the Golden Sage Palace back in the kingdom?"

Put as though the answer were in doubt — and everything before this line has been a cure, while everything after it is a rescue.


總評 Commentary

Pilgrim's reaction to the confession is delight, and the great goblet that took an entire passage to offer goes down in two gulps. He has been given exactly what he bargained for — the story behind the diagnosis — and he wastes no time on it.

The question at the end is the hinge of the chapter. Everything before it has been a cure; everything after it is a rescue. And it is put as though the answer were in doubt, which lets the king say the thing out loud rather than be told it.
