"Old Sun, escorting the Tang monk after scriptures, came through the Guang country and brought along a folding pot. I have carried it in here to boil up the offal and eat."

摺疊鍋兒 — a folding pot — keeps 兒 at full weight as ér. 廣 is the Guang region, the far south, and the detail is a small piece of commercial geography: southern ironware had a reputation, and a collapsible travelling pot is exactly the sort of thing a pilgrim would buy on the road.

將jiāng你nǐ這zhè裡lǐ邊biān的de肝gān、腸cháng、肚dù、肺fèi,細xì細xì兒ér受shòu用yòng,還hái夠gòu盤pán纏chán到dào清qīng明míng哩li。」 将jiāng你nǐ这zhè里lǐ边biān的de肝gān、肠cháng、肚dù、肺fèi,细xì细xì儿ér受shòu用yòng,还hái够gòu盘pán缠chán到dào清qīng明míng哩li。」

"I shall take the liver, guts, stomach and lungs you have in here and enjoy them at my leisure — enough to keep me provisioned till Qingming."

將 is jiāng, the disposal grammar. 盤纏 is travelling money and provisions. 清明 is the Clear and Bright festival in early April, when families sweep the graves — so he is promising to eat his way through to the tomb-sweeping season, which is a joke about funerals as well as about lunch.

那nà二èr魔mó大dà驚jīng道dào:「哥gē啊a,這zhè猴hóu子zi他tā幹gàn得de出chū來lái。」 那nà二èr魔mó大dà惊jīng道dào:「哥gē啊a,这zhè猴hóu子zi他tā干gàn得de出chū来lái。」

The second monster was appalled: "Elder brother — this monkey would actually do it."

幹得出來 puts 得 in the light de: capable of carrying it through. And the line is the elephant's third and last speech in the chapter, which makes it his best.


總評 Commentary

The threat is domestic and that is what makes it unbearable. Not a weapon, not a spell — a folding camp pot, bought in the south, unpacked inside somebody's abdomen, and a menu. Wukong has moved in and is doing his own catering.

這猴子他幹得出來 is the finest line any of the three chiefs gets. It is not fear of the magic; it is the recognition that this particular creature really would. The second brother has said almost nothing all chapter and his one contribution is an accurate character assessment.
