¿Qué significa "wandering affections" ?
¿Qué significa "wandering affections" ?
I'm translating the following sentence into Japanese:
'But when he is actually alive, if his peculiarities are not of the kind that can be condoned by the phrase, "he is nobody's enemy but his own, " a safe one when the culprit has no worse to answer for than alcoholism or wandering affections, the only possible course is silence.'
I thought "wandering affections" means that “精神的疾患(せいしんてきしっかん)による徘徊(はいかい)の症状(しょうじょう)、symptoms of wandering around town from place to place which comes from mental illness”.) I wonder if my understanding is correct?

"Affection" is 愛情, so wandering affections is like 浮気心.

yeah, i agree with vellyr -- it sounds to me like he's speaking euphemistically about infidelity
