理雅各James Legge的經(jīng)典翻譯：
For life or for death,however separated,
To our wives we pleadged our word.
We held their hands;---
We are to grow old together with them.

In death or life (we are) separated and far apart;
With you I made an agreement:
I grasped your hand,
Together with you I was to grow old.

for far,for near,hand,oath,accord:
Never alive
will we keep that word.

and with you I will grow old.
