Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998):
- To have seen his manly sorrow then might have made a heart of stone to feel pity; and Pandarus wept as if he would turn to water, and prodded his niece repeatedly, and said:
- ‘It’s true hearts that feel sorrow! For the love of God, make an end of this business, or kill both of us before you go!’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): そう言うと共に、彼の男らしい悲しみ方を見ると、石のような心にも同情を引いたことであろう。パンダルスは水になってしまうかのように泣き、再三姪を突いて言った。「悲しむのは真心があるからこそだ！神の愛にかけて、こんな事態は終わらせておくれ。さもなくばわれわれ二人を直ちに殺してから出ていっておくれ。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 他饮着悲痛，而不失男儿的气度，真可令铁石心肠的人看了流泪；彭大瑞陪着哭泣，悲伤得要化成水，不时推他的甥女，说道，“心地真诚的人最感得痛苦！看上帝的情面，结束这出悲剧吧，否则就在你眼前立将我俩处死好了。”
