Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998):
- Nor can you come up with any other cure for me, and I won’t be cured. I shall die. What do I know about Queen Niobe? Give your old examples a rest, I ask you!’
- ‘No,’ said Pandarus, ‘that’s why I say it’s fools’ delight to weep like this over their unhappiness, but they don’t care to seek a cure.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): そなたはおれを治す他の方法を知らないし、おれも治りたくない、死にたいのだ。王妃ニオベーのことをおれが何で分かるんだい？お願いだ、むかしの譬え話なんか止めてくれ。」「いや」とパンダルスは言った。「だからこそ申し上げるのです。自分の身の悲痛をこのように 嘆き悲しむことは愚者どもの喜ぴですが、連中は癒しを求めることに頓着しないのです。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956):
- 你不见得有什么其他的良剂；我也不需要，我只求一死了之；我管你什么尼渥白？请你不要再引经据典了。”
- “的确，”彭大瑞道，“所以我说愚蠢的人所喜爱的就是这一套，一味诉苦叫屈，从不设法自救。”
