- and said:
- “Wake up! You’re sleeping far too long! It doesn’t seem like lover’s making you pine with longing, when you sleep so that there’s no waking you! Who ever saw such a dull fellow before?”
- “All right, my friend,” said he, “you lovers go ahead and make your heads ache for love, and let me live as best I can.”
- ‘But although he was pale and wan because of his unhappiness, he still put on as cheerful an expression then as though he should have led the latest dance.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 誰もおこせないほど熟睡されるとは。これほど鈍い人を今まで見たことがありませんよ。』『そうさ、友よ』と若君はおっしゃった。『そなたらは恋のために頭を痛めるがよろしい。おれにはおれなりの生き方をさせてくれ。』若君は悩みのため青ざめ憔悴しておられたけども、まるで新しいダンスを率先して踊られたかのように、その時明るい表情をされた。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 站在他身旁说道，‘醒来，你睡得太久了；你不像是在害相思，因你睡得喊不醒呢。谁见过你这样的呆汉？’“‘是的，朋友，’他道，‘你去为了爱而头痛好了，让我过我的日子。’他虽因相思而脸上苍白消瘦，却仍摆出一副新鲜活泼的模样，好像在跳着一套新式舞似的。
