Latin Translation Game
Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 2:26 pm
Well, there's been a lot about Latin in schools recently, so PM me A translation of this:
Caecilius est in foro. Caecilius in foro argentariam habet. Hermogenes ad forum venit. Hermogenes est mercator Graecus. mercator navem habet. Mercator Caecilium salutat.
"ego sum mercator Graecus", inquit Hermogenes. "Ego sum mercator probus. ego pecuniam quaero."
"Cur tu pecuniam quaeris?", inquit Caecilius. "Tu navem habis."
"sed navis non adest", respondet Hermogenes. "Navis est in Graecia. ego pecuniam non habeo. ego tamen sum probus. ego semper pecuniam reddo."
"ecce!" inquit Caecilius. "Ego ceram habeo. tu anulum habes?"
"Ego anulum habeo", respondet Hermogenes. "Anulus signum habet. ecce! ego signum in cera imprimo."
Caecilius pecuniam tradit. mercator pecuniam capit et e foro currit.
eheu! Hermogenes non revenit. mercator pecuniam non reddit. Caecilius Hermogenem ad basilicam vocat.
And from English to latin:
The judge enters the law court.
Judge: Who are you?
Caecilius: I am Lucius Caecilius lucundus.
Judge: You are Pompeiian?
Caecilius: I am Pompeiian.
Judge: What do you do in the city?
Caecilius: Every day I go to the forum. I am a banker.
Judge: Why did you come to the law court today?
Caecilius: Hermogenes owes me a lot of money. Hermogenes did not return the money.
Hermogenes: CAECILIUS IS A LIAR!
Judge: Who are you?
Hermogenes: I am Hermogenes.
Judge: Hermogenes, what do you do in the city?
Hermogenes: I do business in the forum. I am a merchant.
Judge: What do you reply? Do you owe money?
Hermogenes: I do not owe money. My friend is a witness.
Friend: I am a witness. Hermogenes does not owe money. Caecilius is a liar.
Caecilius: You, Hermogenes, are a liar. Your friend is also a liar. You did not return the money...
Judge: ENOUGH! You accuse Hermogenes, but you do not prove the case.
Caecilius: I have a wax tablet. Your sign is seen in the wax tablet.
Hermogenes: Oh dear! Oh no!
Judge: Hermogenes, you have a sign?
Caecilius: Look! Hermogenes is hiding the sign.
Judge: Where is the sign? Look! The sign proves the case. I convict Hermogenes.
