Fine Pilgrim! Gritting his teeth, enduring the pain, gripping his iron cudgel, he crossed the torrent, came before the Fire-Cloud Cave, and called out: ‘Insolent monster!’

好行者 ‘Fine Pilgrim!’ (narratorial). 咬著牙，忍著疼，捻著鐵棒 ‘gritting teeth, enduring pain, gripping the cudgel’: 著 zhe ×3 (durative). 到那火雲洞前 nà (deictic). 叫聲 jiào. Wukong, hurt but resolute, renews the challenge.

那nà把bǎ門mén的de小xiǎo妖yāo又yòu急jí入rù裡lǐ報bào：「孫sūn行xíng者zhě又yòu在zài門mén首shǒu叫jiào哩lī。」那nà把bǎ门mén的de小xiǎo妖yāo又yòu急jí入rù里lǐ报bào：「孙sūn行xíng者zhě又yòu在zài门mén首shǒu叫jiào哩lī。」

The little imp at the gate hurried in again to report: ‘Sun the Pilgrim is at the door calling again.’

那把門的小妖 nà (deictic). 又急入裡報 ‘hurried in again to report’. 行 xíng. 又在門首叫 ‘calling at the door again’: 叫 jiào. The imps' repeated alarm.

The demon king gave the order to seize him.

那nà夥huǒ小xiǎo妖yāo槍qiāng刀dāo簇cù擁yōng，齊qí聲shēng吶nà喊hǎn，即jí開kāi門mén，都dōu道dào：「拿ná住zhù，拿ná住zhù。」那nà伙huǒ小xiǎo妖yāo枪qiāng刀dāo簇cù拥yōng，齐qí声shēng呐nà喊hǎn，即jí开kāi门mén，都dōu道dào：「拿ná住zhù，拿ná住zhù。」

That band of imps thronged out with spears and blades, shouting all together, opened the gate, and cried: ‘Seize him, seize him!’

那夥小妖 nà (deictic). 槍刀簇擁 ‘thronged with spears and blades (簇 cù)’. 齊聲吶喊 ‘shouted together (吶 nà)’. 都道 ‘all said’: 都 dōu (all). The imps swarm out.

行xíng者zhě果guǒ然rán疲pí倦juàn，不bù敢gǎn相xiāng迎yíng，將jiāng身shēn鑽zuān在zài路lù傍bàng，念niàn個gè咒zhòu語yǔ，叫jiào：「變biàn！」行xíng者zhě果guǒ然rán疲pí倦juàn，不bù敢gǎn相xiāng迎yíng，将jiāng身shēn钻zuān在zài路lù傍bàng，念niàn个gè咒zhòu语yǔ，叫jiào：「变biàn！」

The Pilgrim, being indeed worn out, dared not face them; he slipped his body beside the road, recited a spell, and called: ‘Change!’

行者果然疲倦 ‘the Pilgrim, indeed worn out’. 不敢相迎 ‘dared not face [them]’: 相 xiāng (相迎 ‘meet/face’); 不 before 敢 t3 → bù. 將身鑽在路傍 ‘slipped his body beside the road’: 將 jiāng (disposal); 傍 bàng (路傍 ‘roadside’). Too injured to fight, Wukong resorts to trickery.

And at once he became a gold-embroidered bundle.

小xiǎo妖yāo看kàn見jiàn取qǔ了le進jìn去qù，報bào道dào：「大dà王wáng，孫sūn行xíng者zhě怕pà了le，只zhǐ見jiàn說shuō一yì聲shēng『拿ná』字zì，慌huāng得de把bǎ包bāo袱fú丟diū下xià，走zǒu了le。」小xiǎo妖yāo看kàn见jiàn取qǔ了le进jìn去qù，报bào道dào：「大dà王wáng，孙sūn行xíng者zhě怕pà了le，只zhǐ见jiàn说shuō一yì声shēng『拿ná』字zì，慌huāng得de把bǎ包bāo袱fú丢diū下xià，走zǒu了le。」

The imps, seeing it, took it in and reported: ‘Great King, Sun the Pilgrim took fright — at the mere word “seize,” he panicked, dropped his bundle, and fled.’

看見取了進去 ‘saw it and took it in’: 看 kàn; 了 le. 行 xíng. 慌得把包袱丟下 ‘so frightened he dropped the bundle’: 得 de (complement). 一聲『拿』字 (一 before 聲 t1 → yì). 走了 le. The imps swallow the ruse.

總評 Commentary

Too battered to fight his way in, Wukong turns to guile. He challenges the gate to draw the imps out, then slips aside and transforms himself into a gold-embroidered bundle — which the imps, thinking he has fled in fright and dropped his belongings, obligingly carry inside. It is a classic Wukong stratagem: where force fails, a shape-change and the enemy's own greed do the work.
