Enemies meet on a narrow road (冤家路窄)
There are four famous novels in Chinese
history, one of which is called (Journey to the West).
The author of this novel is called (Wu
Chengen).
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous monk called Xuanzang.
Xuanzang once went to India to study
Buddhism and brought back many Buddhist classics to China.
Wu Cheng'en created this fictional novel
based on Xuanzang, a real historical figure.
In this novel, Xuanzang travels to India
with his three disciples.
This novel describes the difficulties the
four of them encountered on their way to India and how they overcame these
difficulties and successfully arrived in India.
There is a story in Chapter 45 of this
novel.
Xuanzang and his three disciples were passing
through a kingdom.
His disciples discovered that there were
three monsters in the kingdom who pretended to be human.
Xuanzang's disciples played tricks on the
three monsters. The three monsters were fooled and drank the urine of
Xuanzang's disciples. The three monsters were very angry when they found out
the truth.
The next day this happened.
Xuanzang and his three disciples went to
the palace of this kingdom to meet the king of this kingdom.
Suddenly, they saw those three monsters
sitting in the palace.
The three monsters looked surprised when
they saw Xuanzang and his three disciples.
The three monsters laughed and said to
Xuanzang's disciples
There is a saying that the less you want to
meet someone, the easier it is for you to meet that person.
I think this saying is applicable to
today's situation.
Yesterday you tricked me into drinking your
urine and ran away, but you must not have expected to meet us three monsters in
the palace.
You must not have thought that the king of
this kingdom is our believer. We will ask the king to arrest you and execute
you immediately.
This idiom means that the less you want to
meet a person, the easier it is for you to meet that person.
This idiom means that the road between
enemies is narrow.

novel Journey to the West? Which one do you think is the best?

冤家路窄(Enemies meet on a narrow road)
中國歷史有四本著名的小說，其中有一本小說的名字叫做(西遊記)。
這本小說的作者叫做(吳承恩)。
中國的唐朝時代，有一個著名的和尚，這個和尚的名字叫做(玄奘)。
玄奘曾經到印度學習佛教的知識，並且曾印度帶了很多佛教的經典書籍回到中國。
吳承恩藉由玄奘這位真實的歷史人物創作出這本虛構的小說。
在這本小說中玄奘帶著他的三個徒弟一起前往印度。
這本小說描繪了他們四個人在前往印度的途中遇見的種種困難與他們如何克服這些困難並且順利到達印度的過程。
在這本小說中的第45回有一個故事。
玄奘與他的三個徒弟們經過一個王國，
他的徒弟們發現這個王國中有三隻妖怪假裝成人的樣子。
玄奘的徒弟們就捉弄這三隻妖怪，這三隻妖怪在被欺騙的情況下喝下玄奘的徒弟的尿。這三隻妖怪發現事實的真相後非常的憤怒。
這件事情發生後的第二天。
玄奘與他的三個徒弟到這個王國的皇宮中與這個王國的國王會面。
他們突然看到這三個妖怪竟然坐在皇宮中。
這三隻妖怪看到玄奘與他的三個徒弟後露出驚喜的表情。
這三隻妖怪大笑的對玄奘的徒弟們說。
有一句俗話，你愈不想見到某一個人但你反而就愈容易遇到這一個人。
我認為這句話恰巧可以使用在今天這種情況。
你們昨天欺騙我喝下你們的尿後你們就逃跑了，但是你們一定沒有想到會在皇宮中遇見我們三隻妖怪吧。
你們一定沒有想到這個王國的國王是我們的信徒，我們要叫國王逮捕你們並且立刻處死你們。
這句成語的意思是你愈不想見到某一個人但你反而就愈容易遇到這一個人。
這句成語的意思是冤家路窄。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你有聽過西遊記這本有趣的中國小說嗎?你心目中覺得最好的小說是那一本呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
