Line Information

  • Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
  • English translations (Windeatt: 1998): But at last this unhappy Troilus, nearly dead with pain, burst out in loud cries, and in a sorrowful voice, amongst his sobs and his bitter sighs, said: ‘You see, Pandarus, I’m a dead man—there’s nothing more to be said! Haven’t you heard at parliament,’ he said, ‘how my Criseyde is given up for Antenor?’
  • Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): しかしついに、この悲嘆に暮れるトロイルスは苦痛のために死にそうになり、突然うめき出し、すすり泣き、深いため息をつきながら、悲しそうな声をだしてこう言った。「見ろよ、パンダルス、おれは死んだのだ、手の施しようがなく。議会で聞かなかったのかい?アンテノールと交換におれのクリセイデが譲渡されることを。」
  • Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 后来,特罗勒斯郁闷万分,哼出了一声,在呜咽叹息之间,哑着嗓子喊道,“彭大瑞,我只有一死,不可救了。你听到议会中决定了牺牲我的克丽西德去换回恩屯诺吧?”
