Mea Pronuntio Linguae Anglicae

Christian — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 15:19:00 +0000

Non miror ut probe loquar, id est, uelut Canadiensis.:)

Quo typo pronuntiationis Angliae utimini?

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Canada. You probably get irritated when British people and Europeans think you're from the States, but over here we wouldn't make a mistake like that.

Auxilium tecnicale Medii Aeuii

Roma Sublate

Christian — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 01:40:00 +0000

Non dico ut Vandali iterum uicerunt, sed spectaculum televisionale, qui Roma appellatur, ad tempore alio non renovabitur.

(Ad dicendo hanc sententiam In Latina non uerbum est. In anglica lingua uerbum "cancelled" ab cancellare est quod in Latine "expungere" significat. Propinquissimum uerbum quod inueni "tollo, tollere, sustuli, sublatus" revera dissonum significat. Quod verbum in Italia, Espania uel Portuguesa utitur?)

Tristus nuntius est. Roma uera optimum spectaculum in televisione est. Scriptum, actus, et directio, omnes optimi erant. Primus tempus historiam mortis Caesaris narrauit. Secundum et finale tempus pugnam Octavii et Antonii narrat. historiae de claris personis iocundae sunt sed optima pars spectaculi historiam duorum militum, Lucii Voreni ac Titi Pulli, est quorum amicitia et acta centrum spectaculi sunt.

Spectaculum etiam uerissima imago antiquae Romae umquam uidi. Quando id finiet, id desiderabo. Ut nimis sumptosum specie spectaculum esset, HBO decreuit. Usque ad finem, me delectabit.

Hic Terentius Tunberg et Cælestis Eichenseer de usu linguae latinae hodie loquuntur. Unus in modo americano, unus in modo germanico loquuntur. Secundus difficilior comprehendi est quia cito loquitur, quamquam ambos comprehendere potes, si diligenter audies.

Roma et Iudicium Baltari

Christian — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 03:18:00 +0000

Hac nocte duo mei spectaculi delecti in televisione presentatur, scilicet Roma et Battlestar Galactica. Roma praecipue mihi satis iocunda est quia depictio antiquae Romae et Populi optime facit. Hac tempore historia accensus Augusti aut Octavii pertinet. In Battlestar Galactica, hac nocte judicium Gaii Baltari incipit!
Iocunda nox erit!

Loquens legens scribensque in plus quam una lingua

Christian — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 22:37:00 +0000

Seneca dixit in opere eius "De Consolatione ad Polybium":

Sic enim illa ex alia lingua in aliam transtulisti, ut, quod difficillimum erat, omnes virtutes in alienam te orationem secutae sint

Ego etiam persaepe ex alia lingua in aliam transferebam, et semper difficillis est. Recente, duobus aliis linguis, scilicet Gallicae Germanicaeque, studebam. Facilis non erat, quamquam non propter linguas ipsas, sed quia plus quam una discebam. Quando Latinam solum discebam, in meam mentem utrasque linguas, scilicet Latinam et meam primam linguam Anglicam, disiungere poteram sed nunc invenio ut magis magisque omnes confundo, quamquam quattuor linguas legere possum, omnes mediocriter.

Hortatus sum autem quod ali etiam discere multas linguas conantur, multi revera conari fruuntur. Fortasse aliquod dignatum quae agendum sit semper difficilis erit. Mox spero ut facilior sit.

Ph.D. Level Medieval Latin Examination

19 April 2006

Translate ALL FOUR passages. The examination has been set for two hours, but you may take an extra hour if you wish. Each question will be given equal weight in the final assessment. The use of dictionaries is NOT permitted. Please write on alternative lines, on one side of the paper only. DO NOT USE PENCIL.

1. Frederick Barbarossa, friend of scholars

Omnibus qui causa studiorum peregrinatur scolaribus et maxime divinarum atque sacrarum legum professoribus hoc nostre pietatis beneficium indulgemus, ut ad loca, in quibus litterarum exercentur studia, tam ipsi quam eorum nuntii veniant et habitent in eis securi. Dignum namque existimavimus, ut, cum bona facientes nostram laudem atque protectionem mereantur, eos, quorum scientia illuminatur mundus ad obediendum deo et nobis, eius ministris, vita subiectorum informatur, quadam speciali dilectione ab omni iniuria defendamus. Quis eorum non misereatur, cum amore scientie facti exules de divitibus pauperes semetipos exinaniunt, vitam suam omnibus periculis exponunt, et a vilissimis sepe hominibus - quod graviter ferendum est - corporales iniurias sine causa perferunt? Hac igitur generali et in eternum valitura lege decernimus, ut nullus de cetero tam audax inveniatur, qui aliquam scolaribus iniuriam inferre presumat, nec ob alterius eiusdem provincie delictum, quod aliquando ex perversa consuetudine factum audivimus, aliquod dampnum eis inferat.

2. Eriugena on how Eve was deceived by the tree of knowledge

Malitia siquidem per se deformitas quaedam est et abhominabilis turpitudo. Quam si per se ipsam errans sensus cognosceret, no solum non sequeretur neque ea delectaretur, uerum etiam fugeret et abhorreret. Errat autem insipiens sensus, ac per hoc decipitur, credens malum bonum et pulchrum esse et ad usum suaue. Verbi gratia, ut aliquo utamur exemplo, phantasia auri uel cuiuspiam sensibilis materiae corporeo sensui imprimitur. Ipsa phantasia pulchra atque formosa uidetur, quia de creatura bona extrinsecus assumpta est, sed mulier (hoc est carnalis sensus) decipitur et delectatur, non sentiens latentem sub ipsa falsa et phantastica pulchritudine malitiam, hoc est philargiam, quae est "radix omnium malorum." Qui uiderit mulierem ad concupiscendam eam," dominus inquit, "iam moechatus est in corde suo." Ac si aperte diceret: Qui phantasiam de forma feminea suo carnali infigit sensui, iam moechatus est in cogitatione sua, appetens turpitudinem libidinis, quae se latenter attrahit sub falsa illa muliebris formae imaginatione.

3. Poggio Bracciolini mocks stylistic rigidity

Cum coenaremus in palatio Pontificis, nonnulli inter quos et secretarii erant, orto sermore de eorum ignorantia quorum doctrina omnis ac scientia pendet ex scriptis formulis, neque earum causas afferunt, sed tantum dicunt sic scriptum superiores stylo reliquisse, Carol Bononiensis, vir admodum festivus, "Hi simillimi sunt," inquit, "notarii cuiusdam" (et nomen retulit) "concivis mei; ad quem cum suo accessissent contractus venditionis inter eos conficiendi gratia, atque ille, sumpto calamo, scribere incipiens quaesisset eorum nomina, et alter Ioannes, Philippus alter sibi nomen esse dixissent, respondit e vestigio notarius, id instrumentum (ita enim appellatur) confici inter se non posse. Quaerentibus illis causam, 'Nisi,' inquit, 'venditor Conradus, emptor vero Titius vocetur' (haec enim sola nomina in forulis suis didicerat), 'rogari aut iure consistere hic contractus nequit.' Abierunt illi ad alium relicto homine insulo, qui se crimen falsi subire existimavit, si scripta in forumulis suis nomina commutasset."

4. Paulinus of Nola prays for help in being a Christian

Omnipotens genitor rerum, cui summa potestas,
exaudi si iusta precor: ne sit mihi tristis
ulla dies, placidam nox rumpat ulla quietem.
Nec placeant aliena mihi, quin et mea prosint
supplicibus nullusque habeat mihi uota nocendi
aut habeat nocitura nihil. Male uelle facultas
nulla sit ac bene posse adsit tranquilla potestas.
Mens contenta suo nec turpi dedita lucro
uincat corporeas casto bene conscia lecto
inlecebras, turpesque iocos obscenaque dicta
oderit illa nocens et multum grata malignis
auribus effuso semper rea lingua ueneno.
Non obitu adfligar cuiusquam aut funere crescam.
Inuideam numquam cuiquam nec mentiar umquam.
Adsit laeta domus epulisque adludat inemptis
uerna satur fidusque comes nitidusque minister,
morigera et coniunx caraque ex coniuge nati.
Moribus haec castis tribuit deus, hi sibi mores
perpetuam spondet uentura in saecula uitam.

In via quae Coronatio appelatur

Omnia Domnica, spectaculum telefiscum qui coronationis via appelatur, spectabam. Eam amo! Estne aliquis etiam spectanda ea fruatur? Nunc,commotio plus solito erat! Postrema Dominica, Karen MacDonald ab spectaculo abit post infantum eius amissit et Tracy Barlow eam interficere conatus est. Excitatus sum! Fit voluptas secreta mea.

Spectare eam incepi cum domo parentale, hac aestate, mansi. Frequente eam spectant. Post spectandum brevi, ea deditus sum. Nunc, omniam Dominicam anticipatione magna exspecto! Karen Kevinem corrumpet? Quod novum argumentum inter Jack et Vera orietur?

Infelice, in Canada spectaculum post Britania quae nova spectacula facta sunt a intervallo sex mensum est. Volo quod etiam nova spectacula spectamus.

Valete,

Ars legendi Latine

Christian — Fri, 30 Sep 2005 13:27:00 +0000

Hodie, pluresque magistri, in modo tracto majoribus, legendam litteram Latinam docent. Quivis Latine legere possunt, probiliter in hoc modo didicerunt. Certe, etiam in hoc modo didici. Modus familiaris est; Cum sententiam Latinam invenis, nunc verbum reperias, tunc subjectum, tunc objectum directum...et cetera. Si putes, legendae linguae modus malus est! Profecto pluresque nostri numquam linguam in hoc modo discunt, haud comprehendere solum post linguam translatum in sermonem patriam discunt. Enimvero, pluremque scio, loquentes in Anglica Latinam legunt. Haudquaquam hic modus bonus est!

Cum Cicero ultinum verbum in Catalinam maledixit, sermone inclita locuta in senatu, omnes praesentes ominio comprehendunt. Non dicendum est ubi verbum seu subjectum sit? In ordine dicta, comprehendunt. Certe, difficilis est comprehendendum Anglibus dicentibus sed conatum est nobis si Latinam comprehedere volumus sicut Romani.

Recente, tellae paginam invenio in quo alius modus ostensus est. Quamquam post centum annos scriptum est, hodie mihi ad hanc rem attinere visum est. Si temorem habes, ambo te legere eam et dicere mihi quae putes!

(Caveat lector, haec pagina in Anglica lingua est, quamquam non puto aliquos qui meam blogam legunt, non comprehendere Anglicam..)

Boni Mali Ridiculique

Christian — Fri, 30 Sep 2005 01:23:00 +0000

Saluete omnes,

ad scribendo non temporem habui, donec hodie. Ex superiore nuntio, fortissene conjicias, in probatione Latine Franciaque, me esse non probatum? Ita, probe conjiciebas, non probatus sum. In probatione Francia probari non expectabam quia per hanc aestatem eam non studeo quia solum temporem ad studendo linguam Latinam habui. Infelice, non satis est. Nunc iterum per hoc annum eam studebo, sed etiam linguam Germaniam Franciamque. Heu!

Satis in Latina Hodie!

Ualete,
Christian

horribilis erat

Christian — Sat, 10 Sep 2005 04:12:00 +0000

Habeo unum verbum de probatione, horibilem. Hodie ne plus loquar.

Hodie est dies!

Christian — Fri, 09 Sep 2005 14:24:00 +0000

Ita, dies iudicii venit. Satis studere me puto sed nunc in manibus Dei fatum meum est. Non veritatem esse puto, etiam in manibus meis, sed parvum auxillium dei proest. :)

Velis me habere bonam fortunam!

Christian

One down, one to go --- Alia probatio completa, alia adhuc complenda est

Christian — Tue, 06 Sep 2005 19:50:00 +0000

I wrote the French exam today. Unfortunately it's part of the language requirements for my PhD. Latin is the most important, and the most difficult. As your translations must be perfect and you cannot use a dictionary. We also have to take French and German exams, although they tend to be easier and we are permitted a dictionary. The exams are offered twice per year and you need to pass them in order to move on to the next stage.

I suppose the French exam went OK, but I still don't think I passed it. The first passage was the most difficult and I think I kinda botched it. Oh well. This one wasn't the important test. I hadn't even taken a French course since highschool, so no worries if I didn't pass. I can always take it again, perhaps when I don't have a major Latin exam hanging over my head. German can wait until next summer.

Ok, I'm ready now. Bring on the Latin exam!

Hodie, in lingua Francia probationem scripsi. Infeliciter, fieri doctor philosophiae neccesse est. Lingua Latina gravissima difficilissimaque est, quia in sermonem Anglicam perfecte convertenda est. Etiam nobis in lingua Francia Germaniaque probationes scribendae sunt, quamquam facillissimae esse solent ac nobis uti glossarium licet. Bis anno offeruntur ac ante procedendum ad proximo gradui probandi sumus.

Franciae probationis scribendum bene esse mihi pono sed adhuc ipsi non succedere me pono. Primus Locus difficillisimus est et cum transferrem, errarem. Eu! haec probatio non magnus est. Classem in Francia non habuit quoniam in schola superiore eram. Iterum semper hanc scribere possum, et fortasse cum probatio gravissima Latina non pendet! Lingua Germania usque ad proximam aestatem opperiatur.

Fiat! Nunc paratus sum! Probatio Latina veniat!

Dictys Cretensis and other authors I hate...

Christian — Sun, 04 Sep 2005 21:52:00 +0000

I'm writing in English today because I am just so tired of Latin. I've been working on preparing for the big Latin exam next Friday by going over previous exams. There is one passage which is just pissing me off because I can't figure out what's going on.

Here's part of the passage, it's from the September 1991 exam and it is written by dude named Dictys Cretensis.

Stupid Latin Passage
Ulysses challanges the Trojans

Post quem Ulixes medius adstand huiuscemodi orationem habuit: credo ego vos, Troiani principes, satis compertum habere, nihil temere Graecos, nihil inconsultum incipere solere, ac semper his iam tum a maioribus provisum atque elaboratum, uti facta gestaque eorum laus potius quam culpa sequeretur.

Et ut praeterita bene consulta omittam, iam hoc licet recognoscere. Iniuriis contumeliisque Alexandri paulo ante laesa Graecia non ad vim neque ad arma decursum est, quod iracundia refugium esse solet. Nam de consilii sententia legati ad recipiendam Helenam, ut meministis, cum Menelao venimus. Quibus praeter superbas verborum minas et insidias occultas nihil a Priamo neque ab eius regulis remissum est. Imperfecta igitur re, ut opinor, consequens fuit arma capere hisque per vim extorquere, quod amice impetrari nequitum est iataque parato exercitu ac tot egregiis atque inclitis ducibus ne sic quidem proelium adversum vos inire consilium fuit, sed imitati morem modestiamque solitam iterato ad vos ob eandem causam oratum venimus.

My rotten translation:
After which, Ulysses, standing in the middle, gave a speech of this manner: I believe you, Trojan Princes, that you have enough evidence that the Greeks are accustomed to do nothing rashly, nothing which has not been thought through, and always do things which have been labored on and provided for them by their elders, so much that praise more than blame follows their acts and deeds.

For starters, I have no idea why "medius" is in the nominative. Shouldn't it be "in medio adstans"? I won't complain too much about that one because the meaning is still obvious. However, what the **** is going on with the the "his"? Is it supposed to go off of the provisum (which can take the dative when it means "provided for" rather than "forseen"). That's how I took it in my translation but it just doesn't make sense. They only do things provided for them by their elders? What the hell does that mean? Maybe it's supposed to go with the elders? But that doesn't make sense either.

And to pass over these past consultations well, it is permitted now to recognize them.

What does this mean? I have no idea. This is a weird sentence. "omittam" might be omit, let go, disregard. I think what he's trying to say is the first step to overcoming your fear of the meticulous planning of the Greeks is to first recognize them. Unfortunately, Dictys doesn't say that. If that's what he meant then he's a dick because he could have said it clearer.

A little while before Greece was battered by the injuries and indignaties of Alexander, there was not a rush to strength, nor to arms, which was accustomed to be a refuge of passion.
I don't understand this, isn't Alexander Greek?

For according to the wisdom of the counsel, we came as ambassadors , as you remember, to recieve Helen. To which, nothing was returned by Priam or his men except proud threats of words and hidden treacheries.

You thought you would trick me Dictys, by putting legati looking like a genitive over sententia, but oh no, oh no...

Therefore, with this business unfinished, in my opinion, it followed to take up arms and with those arms, to extort through strength what was unable to be obtained by friendly means. So therefore, with the army prepared and with so many distinguished and famous leaders, there was no plan to go to battle against you,

Ok, this doesn't make sense...the army is prepared, but there is no plan? Whose army the Greeks or the Trojans? And is Ulysses still giving a history lesson or has he switched to the present?

...but with this having happened a second time, imitating their character and known modesty, we come to you to beseach you against the same cause.

All I can say is, you tried Dictys with that supine, you tried, but you couldn't fool me. The rest of it though is hogwash.

If anyone has a better way of translating this let me know.

Cheers, (uel ualete,)
Christian

Lingua Francorum, id est serior lingua Latina uulgaris...

Christian — Sun, 04 Sep 2005 15:15:00 +0000

Saluete,

duobus diebus, etiam probationem in lingua Gallica habebo. Non scio cur haec probationem scribam quia paene etiam unum uerbum loqui possum. Feliciter, me uti glossiarium licet. Exercendo, probationem veterem heri scribebam et non difficilis est.

Sara,sponsa mea, bene in lingua Francia loquor et auxillium mihi dabat. Probatio Latina plus quam Gallica me turbat.

Valete,

Vive la France!

Lamentum meum

Christian — Sat, 03 Sep 2005 03:51:00 +0000

Aliquando, cur faciam, miror. Nemo hanc legit. Nemo umquam legit. Tam pauci etiam Latinam comprehendit ut nulla ratio scribendi sit. Saepe, aliam bloggam scriptam in Latine exquaesiui, set pauci sunt, et quae raro rescriptae sunt. Mei amici in Latine legere non possunt. Fortasse, relinquere debeo?

Probationem meam in pauci diebus habebo. Si probabor, numquam in classe linguam Latinam discere impellar, sed vere discendo delectaui et illam desiderabo. Linguam Latinam amo sed alicuius ingenii careo. Autem, probaliter non probabor quia ex Latine transferendi in Anglicam nullum ingenium habeo. Certum est in haec epsitola multos errores scriptum esse mihi. Igitur, cur faciam, praecipuae nemo hanc legit seu leget.

Cum Sara dormiens, me ad dormiendo eundum est.

Ualete,

Heus,

Ne legas, nisi terebratus esse vis!

forem, fores, foret...etc = essem, esses, esset e.g. Si hic fores, rideremus.

escit, esit = erit, e.g = una die, magister esit.

escunt = erunt e.g. Graeci escunt.

Studere odio!
