profuit mihi tamen malicorium et taeda ex aceto. spero tamen, iam veterem pudorem sibi imponit*. alioquin circa stomachum mihi sonat, putes taurum. itaque si quis vestrum voluerit suā re causā facere, non est quod illum pudeatur. nemo nostrum solide natus est. ego nullum puto tam magnum tormentum esse quam continere. hoc solum vetare ne Iovis potest.

*The footnote says to understand venter as the subject of imponet.

Not even the doctors can find themselves (the footnote says it means "the doctors are stumped"). Still, the pomegranite-rind and pine resin boiled in vinegar was useful to me. Still I hope, already my stomach has stopped the ancient shame to itself (this whole sentence makes no sense, and I think I'm wrong). In any event, it makes a noise around my stomach for me, I think my stomach is a bull. Therefore, if anyone of yours will act in his own interest (the footnote says "it may mean to relieve oneself, but causa cannot be explained), *somethingsomething* be ashamed of it. No one of ours was firmly born (stupid idiom. This too is explained in the footnotes). I think nothing is so great a torment as being held back. Only this, not even Jupiter is able to do

I don't wanna crosspost to [livejournal.com profile] latin, I feel too stupid.

Trimalchio autem miti ad nos vultu respexit et 'vinum' inquit 'si non placet, mutabo; vos illud oportet bonum faciatis. deorum beneficio non emo, sed nunc quicquid ad salivam facit, in suburbano nascitur eo, quod ego adhuc non novi. dicitur confine esse Tarraciniensibus et Tarentinis.

But Trimalchio looked back at me with a gentle expression and said "If the wine is not pleasing, you must make the wine good by drinking it. By the kindness of the gods, I do not buy wine, but now everything makes my mouth water, it is made at that place in the suburban estate, which I up to now did not know. The estate is said to be adjacent to Tarracina and Tarentine.
