一縱狂風 They Take To The Clouds
好獃子，一縱狂風先起；隨後是沙僧駕雲；那白馬原是龍子出身，馱了行李，也踏了風霧；大聖即起觔斗：一直南來。好呆子，一纵狂风先起；随后是沙僧驾云；那白马原是龙子出身，驮了行李，也踏了风雾；大圣即起觔斗：一直南来。
逐句解 Line by line
That fine idiot — with one bound he raised a wild wind and went first;
子 takes the everyday unstressed zi in the nickname. Bajie leads, which he has not done once in this chapter.
after him came Sha Monk riding his cloud;
Seven characters. The order of the company, given without comment.
and the white horse, being a dragon prince by birth, carried the baggage and trod the wind and mist as well;
那 is nà, and 子 takes the literary zǐ in the word for a prince — a compound of high register, against the everyday zi in the idiot's nickname one line above. The horse is the third son of the Dragon King of the Western Sea.
and the Great Sage at once rose on his somersault, and came straight south.
斗 is dǒu in the word for a somersault, not the dòu of fighting.
Four clauses, one for each traveller, and the whole company is airborne in forty-four characters.
The horse gets his moment. He has been luggage for the entire chapter — Bajie proposed selling him for coffin money — and here the narrator reminds us that he is a dragon prince who can fly perfectly well and has simply been carrying the bags.
The same character names the idiot and the prince within three lines of each other, and takes a different ending each time. Register decides it, not what is being named.
