周作人晚年認為他翻譯的式亭三馬之《浮世風呂》《浮世裏法館》較為滿意,因為都有滿意的註解 (《浮世風呂》未譯出的後半,原先因為註解麻煩而未譯出,後來覺得可惜。)
《石川啄木的詩》註解多為編輯刪棄,也很可惜。
林皎碧女士的《名畫記行》的日譯本有索引,方便研究各畫家。

晚年萬事皆關心 (七十自壽 2)。今天內容。散見各留言。
晚年唯好靜,萬事不關心。
自顧無長策,空知返舊林。
松風吹解帶,山月照彈琴。
~王維
林皎碧自ら顧るに長策無く 空しく旧林に返るを知りぬ
松風吹けば帯を解きて 山月照らせば琴を弾ずる
君が窮通の理を問わば 漁歌は浦の深きに入ると
In answer to Assistant Magistrate Chang
In my late years I only like
Tranquility, the world's affairs
Which i now find unpolicied.
Back into the old woods where
Pine winds flutter my loose sash
Hill moon lights me at my lute =
This is all my knowledge. If
You ask me for a principle
Of poverty and riches, listen
The Fisherman's Song comes clear to the shore.
The Fisherman's Song ....The fisherman finally rows away, singing, ' How clean the river water = I will wash my feet.' That is to say, one's behaviour should be adapted to whatever conditions prevail (see Hawkes, op. cit., pp.90-91).
