- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘I certainly don’t need any advice from you on pretending to be ill,’ said Troilus, ‘because without a doubt I’m so genuinely ill, I’m very nearly dying with the pain!’ ‘You’ll lament all the better,’ said Pandarus, ‘and have less need to sham, for people think a man they see sweating is hot.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): トロイルスは言った。「確かに、そなたはおれに病気の振りをするように忠告してくれたが、その必要はないよ。おれは、まぎれもなく、本当に病気なのだ。だから、病気の苦しさで死にそうなのだ。」パンタルスは言った。「苦しければ苦しいほど、病気の振りをする必要はありません。汗をかいているのを見ると、皆暑さのせいだと判断しますから。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): “老实说，”特罗勒斯道，“不用你教我装病，因我的确有病，病得快死了。” “那么更可使你哭诉得真切了，”彭大瑞道，“用不着多装假，若有人在出汗，我们就认为他身上发燥。”

Comments from the Editor
In order to arrange a meeting for the two lovers, Pandarus asks Troilus to play sick, but Troilus says that he is already suffering serious sickness. As to the meeting in Deiphebus’s house, see my comments on ‘bet’ (adj., 2.1718), ‘bettre’ (adj., 2.1650), ‘certain’ (adj., 2.1364, 1548), ‘closen’ (v. (ppl. as adj.), 2.1534).
