Re: Horace 2.7 Translation
I approved this new post, since it is a Chinese translation of the text at hand, but as a new poster, please provide some description of your post in English/Latin rather than just the Chinese.
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”

Re: Horace 2.7 Translation
This is a fine translation! The gentleman who responded to you, mwh, was needlessly harsh in my opinion. You were aiming for a direct translation to understand the basics of the Latin, and well done! I know that you speak Latin fluently, Cody, and you should be proud of your continuous accomplishments as a Latin speaker! God knows I certainly still have a lot to learn about Latin. And as for translation, I have no skill or training whatsoever.
