卻què說shuō孫sūn大dà聖shèng與yǔ沙shā僧sēng正zhèng坐zuò，只zhǐ見jiàn一yí陣zhèn腥xīng風fēng，刮guā面miàn而ér過guò，他tā就jiù打dǎ了le一yí個gè噴pēn嚏tì道dào：「不bù好hǎo，不bù好hǎo！却què说shuō孙sūn大dà圣shèng与yǔ沙shā僧sēng正zhèng坐zuò，只zhǐ见jiàn一yí阵zhèn腥xīng风fēng，刮guā面miàn而ér过guò，他tā就jiù打dǎ了le一yí个gè喷pēn嚏tì道dào：「不bù好hǎo，不bù好hǎo！

Now the Great Sage Sun and Sha the Monk were sitting when a gust of fishy wind swept past their faces, and he gave a sneeze and said: ‘This is bad, this is bad!

一陣腥風 ‘a gust of fishy wind (腥 xīng)’ (一 before 陣 t4 → yí). 打了一個噴嚏 ‘gave a sneeze (嚏 tì)’ (了 le; 一 before 個 t4 → yí). 不好 ×2 (不 before 好 t3 → bù). The omen that alerts Wukong.

這zhè陣zhèn風fēng凶xiōng多duō吉jí少shǎo，想xiǎng是shì豬zhū八bā戒jiè走zǒu錯cuò路lù也yě。」这zhè阵zhèn风fēng凶xiōng多duō吉jí少shǎo，想xiǎng是shì猪zhū八bā戒jiè走zǒu错cuò路lù也yě。」

This wind bodes much ill and little good — I think Zhu Eight Rules has taken the wrong road.’

凶多吉少 ‘much ill, little good’: 少 shǎo. 想是豬八戒走錯路 ‘I think Bajie took the wrong road’. Wukong reads the wind's meaning.

沙shā僧sēng道dào：「他tā錯cuò了le路lù，不bú會huì問wèn人rén？」沙shā僧sēng道dào：「他tā错cuò了le路lù，不bú会huì问wèn人rén？」

Sha the Monk said: ‘If he took the wrong road, could he not ask someone?’

他錯了路 le. 不會問人 ‘could he not ask?’ (不 before 會 t4 → bú). Sha's reasonable objection.

行xíng者zhě道dào：「想xiǎng必bì撞zhuàng見jiàn妖yāo精jīng了le。」行xíng者zhě道dào：「想xiǎng必bì撞zhuàng见jiàn妖yāo精jīng了le。」

The Pilgrim said: ‘He must have run into the demon.’

行者 xíng. 想必撞見妖精了 ‘he must have met the demon’ (了 le). Wukong's darker surmise.

沙shā僧sēng道dào：「撞zhuàng見jiàn妖yāo精jīng，他tā不bú會huì跑pǎo回huí？」沙shā僧sēng道dào：「撞zhuàng见jiàn妖yāo精jīng，他tā不bú会huì跑pǎo回huí？」

Sha the Monk said: ‘If he ran into the demon, could he not run back?’

撞見妖精 ‘met the demon’. 他不會跑回 ‘could he not run back?’ (不 before 會 t4 → bú). Sha presses the point.

行xíng者zhě道dào：「不bù停tíng當dàng。行xíng者zhě道dào：「不bù停tíng当dàng。

The Pilgrim said: ‘It's not right.

行者 xíng. 不停當 ‘things are not right’: 當 dàng (停當, the settled sense, not dāng); 不 before 停 t2 → bù. Wukong's instinct that something is wrong.

你nǐ坐zuò在zài這zhè裡lǐ看kān守shǒu，等děng我wǒ跑pǎo過guò澗jiàn去qù打dǎ聽tīng打dǎ聽tīng。」你nǐ坐zuò在zài这zhè里lǐ看kān守shǒu，等děng我wǒ跑pǎo过guò涧jiàn去qù打dǎ听tīng打dǎ听tīng。」

You sit here and keep watch, and let me run across the torrent to make inquiries.’

你坐在這裡看守 ‘you sit here and keep watch’: 看 kān (看守 ‘to guard’, not kàn). 跑過澗去打聽打聽 ‘run across the torrent to inquire’. Wukong resolves to investigate himself.

沙shā僧sēng道dào：「師shī兄xiōng腰yāo疼téng，只zhǐ恐kǒng又yòu著zháo他tā手shǒu，等děng小xiǎo弟dì去qù罷ba。」沙shā僧sēng道dào：「师shī兄xiōng腰yāo疼téng，只zhǐ恐kǒng又yòu着zháo他tā手shǒu，等děng小xiǎo弟dì去qù罢ba。」

Sha the Monk said: ‘Elder brother, your waist aches; I only fear you'll fall into his hands again. Let your younger brother go.’

師兄腰疼 ‘elder brother, your waist aches’. 只恐又著他手 ‘fear you'll fall into his hands again’: 著 zháo (resultative, 著…手 ‘be caught by’). 等小弟去罷 ‘let your younger brother go’: 罷 ba (hortative). Sha offers to spare the injured Wukong.

行xíng者zhě道dào：「你nǐ不bú濟jì事shì，還hái讓ràng我wǒ去qù。」行xíng者zhě道dào：「你nǐ不bú济jì事shì，还hái让ràng我wǒ去qù。」

The Pilgrim said: ‘You're not up to it; better let me go.’

行者 xíng. 你不濟事 ‘you're not up to it’ (不 before 濟 t4 → bú). 還讓我去 ‘better let me go’: 還 hái (rather/still). Wukong insists on going despite his injuries.

總評 Commentary

The chapter's final movement opens with a characteristic touch: Wukong reads a sudden fishy wind and a sneeze as an omen that Bajie has come to grief. The brief exchange with Sha — who reasonably supposes Bajie could just ask directions or run back — shows Wukong's sharper instinct for danger. Injured as he is, he insists on going himself (‘you're not up to it’), and the scene sends him back toward the Fire-Cloud Cave for the chapter's resolution.
