Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘And do understand that both things are faults: either to mistrust everyone or else believe everyone. But I know very well that the mean between these two extremes is not a fault, for to trust someone is a proof of loyalty, and therefore I would gladly remove your wrong opinion, and make you trust someone enough to tell him your sorrow. Do tell me, if you will.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): そして次の両者とも誤りであることをよく御承知おきください、すなわち、誰も信じないことも、また誰でも信用することもです。でも、私はよく分かっております、その中庸は誤りでないことを。ある人を信じることは誠実の証ですから。ですから、私は喜んで若君の間違った考えを取り払って、若君に、ある人を信じて悲しみを打ち明けるようにして差し上げたいのです。そこでもしお望みなら私にお話ください。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): “要知道，怀疑一切与信任一切是同样的错误；能得乎其中方为正道，原来相信一个人也正可证实他是否忠诚，因此我愿纠正你的错想，劝你把你的愁苦交讬出来；你若愿意，不妨直告我。
