Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Oh, don’t run away inside—he can see us, I think—in case he thinks you’re avoiding him!’
•   ‘No, no!’ said she, and turned as red as a rose.
•   With that, Troilus saluted her humbly, with a timid expression, and his colour often changed; and he looked up meekly, and nodded at Pandarus, and passed on by.
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): ああ、奥に逃げないように（たぶん！私たちを見るだろうから）、おまえが避けていると思うといけないから。」「いえ、いえ」と彼女は言って、薔薇のように赤くなった。それを見て、トロイルスは恐れ入った表情をして、慎ましく挨拶したが、しばしば顔色は変わった。そして、優しく見上げて、パンダルスに会釈して、通り過ぎて行った。
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 啊，不要跑进去，我猜想他已看见了我们；他还以为你故意躲避他呢。”
•   “不，不，”她道，脸红得像玫瑰。特罗勒斯卑躬地向她行礼，面上露出畏惧，脸色变了好几次；恭恭谨谨向上望着，对彭大瑞点一点头，就过去了。
