Title	non eo tantum uolo tecto tegi quod imbrem ac...
Text Submitted by patrickd	Source language: Latin non eo tantum uolo tecto tegi quod imbrem ac uentum arceat, sed etiam quod uisum et oculos delectet.
Remarks about the translation	Ceci est un extrait de texte de Ciceron assez complexe... J'avais pensÃ© Ã : "parcequ'il n'empÃªche pas que son toit le couvre de la pluie et du vent, mais encore qu'il puisse charmer la vue et les yeux." Mais je ne suis pas certaine du sens des mots, le sens de la phrase est incorrect et je n'arrive pas Ã faire paraÃ®tre la nuance du subjonctif! Merci beaucoup de votre aide.

Title	I want to be covered...
Translation English Translated by gbernsdorff	Target language: English I want to be covered by a roof that not only shields from rain and wind, but also pleases sight and eyes
Remarks about the translation	quod ... arceat and quod ... delectet are attributive phrases which call for a conjunctive mode in Latin but not necessarily so in English. If you do want to use the conjunctive you could use: that would shield ... and that would please ...
