(Die Athener aber alle, auch die Ausländer und Gäste, waren gerichtet auf nichts anderes, denn etwas Neues zu sagen oder zu hören.)
(Entonces todos los Atenienses y los huéspedes extranjeros, en ninguna otra cosa entendían, sino o en decir o en oír alguna cosa nueva.)
Todos los atenienses y los extranjeros que estaban de visita no dedicaban su tiempo a otra cosa que a decir o escuchar alguna novedad.
Or, tous les Athéniens et les étrangers demeurant à Athènes ne passaient leur temps qu'à dire ou à écouter des nouvelles.
Or tutti gli Ateniesi, e i forestieri che dimoravano in quella città, non passavano il tempo ad altro, che a dire, o ad udire alcuna cosa di nuovo
(Pois todos os atenienses e estrangeiros residentes, de nenhuma outra coisa se ocupavam, senão de dizer e ouvir alguma novidade).
原來所有的 雅典 人和居住在那裏的外國人都無暇管別的事,只是談談或聽聽新聞。
