Line Information

  • Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
  • English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Cassandra left, and with savage heart he forgot his unhappiness out of anger at what she had said. He suddenly leaped from his bed, as though a doctor had completely restored him to health. Day by day he enquired and sought after the truth of this most diligently. And so he endured his lot.
  • Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): カッサンドラが去ると、彼女が言ったことに腹を立て、心が非情になって自分の悲しみを忘れてしまい、突然ベッドから立ち上がった。まるで医者のおかげで体がすっかり良くなったかのようだった。それから毎日毎日全力を傾注してこの真相を探り始めた。こうして彼は自分の不運を耐え抜いたのである。
  • Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 卡生德拉辞去,他听了她的话之后满心愤恨,忘却了悲伤;跳出床来,好似病已痊愈。每天到处打听,想探得真相;如是他忍受着他的命运。
