至其庭，高車主阿伏至羅責長生等拜，長生拒之曰：「我天子使，安肯拜下土諸侯！」
At the Gaoche court their ruler Avuzhiluo demanded that Changsheng and his party bow. Changsheng refused: "I am an envoy of the Son of Heaven. How could I bow to a petty frontier lord?"
阿伏至羅乃不以禮待。
Avuzhiluo then refused them proper ceremonial treatment.
長生以金銀寶器奉之，至羅既受獻，長生曰：「為臣內附，宜盡臣禮，何得口云再拜而實不拜！」
Changsheng presented gold, silver, and precious vessels as tribute. Once Avuzhiluo had accepted them, Changsheng said, "As a subject who has submitted to the court, you ought to perform a subject's obeisance. How can you say you will bow twice and then not bow at all?"
呼出帳，命眾中拜。
He summoned Avuzhiluo outside the tent and ordered him to bow before the assembled company.
阿伏至羅慚其臣下，大怒曰：「帳中何不教我拜，而辱我於大眾！」
Ashamed before his followers, Avuzhiluo flew into a rage: "Why did you not have me bow inside the tent, but humiliate me before the whole assembly?"
至羅彌怒，絕其飲食。
Avuzhiluo's fury only grew, and he cut off their food and drink.
從行者三十人皆降，至羅乃給以肉酪，惟長生與提不從，乃各分徙之。
All thirty of their attendants submitted, and Avuzhiluo gave them meat and curds. Only Changsheng and Yu Ti refused, so he had them separated and sent to different places of exile.
