Quick C>E Translation

Received a message from the local CSSA mailing list asking for translation help:

求助高人翻译成英语。最好符合“信，达，雅”的要求。谢谢!

I'm certainly not a "高人", but I am a native English speaker. I was able to translate all of the sentences satisfactorily, save for the following:

"师太闪开，老衲来也"

I think this an example of humorous, Buddhism-influenced slang that educated students use among each other. My direct translation is "Move over abbess, the abbot has arrived!" I can't be the only one who thinks this sounds ridiculous. Are there any English idioms which capture the meaning without being too misogynistic?

Sorry I can't really comment on the translation, but am wondering if anyone knows which Chinese scholar it was who made the translation standard of 信，达，雅？

[tooironic]

Good old 严复 (Yan Fu).

First one that comes to my mind is 'Out the way, monkey, the organ-grinder's here'

Roddy,

Not bad, but I suspect a lot of people (including 'educated' types) wouldn't get it. Are there any simpler expressions that get the message across? In particular I'd like to preserve the genders of the two parties.

to get it 信／达／雅 translated, you should first know its exact meaning.

i am a chinese though not really sure about the exact meaning, but i see the abbot is flirting the sister. I would say " get back here my little sister, your big brother is here.
