Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Some new love, work, or other sorrow, or else seldom seeing a person, makes old affections quite pass away, as sure as day comes after night. And, for your part, your sharp and bitter pains will be shortened in one of these ways: her absence will drive her out of your heart!’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 昼が夜の後に必ず来るように、新たな愛、苦労、あるいは他の悲しみは起こりますし、そうでなくても恋する人にめったに会えなくなると、古い愛情はすべて消え失せてしまいます。そして、若君のほうは、やがてそんな事の一つを経験して、今の若君の苦く痛い苦しみが和らげられましょう。彼女の不在により彼女のことは若君の胸中から駆逐されましょう。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 犹如昼夜必然循环推移，新的欢爱，新的工作或波折，或机缘的隔离，都可使旧情冷淡下去。以上种种情形之中，总有一种可减轻你的痛苦；她去后日子久了，你的心情也会淡薄了。”
