Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): What shall I do, my Pandarus, alas? I now feel so sharp a new pain, since there’s no remedy in this case, that it would be better if I killed myself with my own hands than always to be lamenting like this. For through death my unhappiness would have an end, where every day I now reproach myself with being alive.’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): パンダルスよ、おれはどうしたらいいのか、ああ辛い。この場合どんな癒す手立てもないから、今非常に鋭い新たな苦しい痛みを感じているんだ。だからこうしていつも嘆き悲しむよりいっそうこの両手で自分の命を絶ったほうがいいのではないかと。生きておれば毎日後悔するのに対し、死ねばおれの悲しみは終わるだろうから。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 彭大瑞啊，我如何是好呢？我愁上添愁，痛苦万分，看来既已无路可走，我只好用我双手了结我这残躯，免得这样悲泣。活着的忧伤使我消磨无日，倒不如死了干净。”
