逐句解 Line by line
你還去救他一救。」
你还去救他一救。」
Go and rescue him, I beg you."
還 keeps hái — go anyway, in spite of everything said.
行者道：「師父不得報怨，等我去救他一救。」
行者道：「师父不得报怨，等我去救他一救。」
Wukong said: "Master, do not hold a grudge. Let me go and rescue him."
得 keeps dé in 不得: here it negates permission — you must not — rather than completing a verb.
The argument ends the way arguments in this family always end, with Wukong going to do the work. He has made his point, been given a compliment he did not ask for, and agreed anyway. Two exchanges were all it took.
His parting line is worth catching, because he says it to the master rather than about Bajie. Do not hold a grudge. Tripitaka has just accused him of envy and spite, and Wukong's response is to tell his teacher to let it go — which is either impertinent or generous, and the novel is happy for it to be both.
