The stone was delighted. "what words will you cut?Where is this place you will take me to? I beg to be enlightened."
石头听了，喜不能禁，乃问：“不知赐了弟子那几件奇处，又不知携了弟子到何地方？望乞明示，使弟子不惑。”
"Do not ask", replied the monk with a laugh. "You will know soon engough when the time comes."
”那僧笑道：“你且莫问，日后自然明白的。”
And with that he slipped the sone into his sleeve and set off at a great pace with the Taoist. But where they both went to I have no idea.
说着便袖了这石，同那道人飘然而去，竟不知投奔何方何舍。
#Vocabulary#
delight
When you like someone, you might say, "She is an absolute delight." You mean you think she's great: a delight is a source of joy, and to delight is to cause pleasure. Babies are particularly good at expressing delight in new things.
Delight is often associated with an initial impression—one says, "She continues to delight us," to suggest that the first impression continues. The word delight derives from the Latin delectare "to charm," which also gives us delectable, and the same lighthearted sense of pure, uncomplicated pleasure.
enlighten
To enlighten someone means to explain something clearly to him. If your friend is behaving strangely but insists she has a reason for it, you could ask her to enlighten you.
Enlighten comes from the metaphor that ignorance is a state of being "in the dark," and that knowledge is illuminating. We use enlighten as a verb meaning to clear up, to remove confusion. Light is also a powerful metaphor for spiritual insight. If you have a great revelation about the divinity of the world, you could say you have been enlightened. The era known as the "Age of Reason" is also called the Enlightenment.
