    Well, yes, but having not translated a longer text in years, I'm a little bit out of practice - the slightly outdated English translation above is taken from http://www.archive.org/stream/cicero...euoft_djvu.txt and not my own work ;)

    That's already excellent,you may know that joke:"I was taking a Latin class,and my book is from a former student.And I suddenly found a line of words:"Latin is a dead lauguage,it has killed the romans,and now it's begining to kill me.
    I can speak a little french(my mother language is chinese),and fench is a 'son" of the latin.When I read the latin you post,I think it's french but fianlly I found it's not.
    It's lucky to have you answer my question.
    And I'm going to sleep now.See you tomorrow.
