Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘And he said: ‘Friend, since you’re so distressed, and since you like to find fault with my arguments, why won’t you help set matters right yourself, and—by acting like a man—prevent all this grief? Go and carry her off by force! Can’t you do it? Shame on you! And either let her leave town, or keep her here, and stop your foolish behaviour!
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): そして言った。「友である若君、大変な苦しみがおありだから、しかも私の説得に文句ばかり言いたがっておられるのだから、貴方はなぜご自身を救済する手立てをなさらないのですか。男らしさによってなぜこの悲しみを止められないのですか。強奪しに行きなさいよ！できないのですか、恥ですよ。彼女をこの町から出て行かせるか、それともここに留まらせるかなのです。愚かな振舞いは止してください。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 因此说道，“朋友，你既如此忧伤，且这样驳斥着我的理论，为何不设法自救，拿点勇气出来战胜这烦恼呢？你这没有出息的人，难道你就不能把她强夺过来？不肯干脆让她去，就得坚守不放，何用这样无聊的哭泣。
