Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): For I have heard a great deal more than I expected, concerning us two and how things have stood, which I will put right by dissimulation. And—don’t be angry—I have also come to understand how you are only leading me on. But it doesn’t matter now. I cannot imagine anything in you but all faithfulness and all nobility.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): わたしたち二人について、どういうことになっているのかと、わたしは予期した以上にその噂をよく耳にしました。それをわたしは素知らぬ振りをして償うつもりでございます。お怒りにならないでください、貴方はわたしを弄んでいらっしゃるだけということも分かるようになりました。でももうそれは大したことではございません。貴方には誡実でしかも高潔がおありだという以外何を想像できましょうか。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 我所听到的话比我所知道的多得多，都与你我两人的事有关；我惟有以佯作不知的方法去对付。我甚至还听说你现在无非是想骗我上手，你听了不必生气。其实不相干，我不能不信你是个全真全善的人。
