Sed trahit invitam nova vis; aliudque cupido
Mens aliud suadet. Video meliora, proboque
Deteriora sequor. Quid in hospite regia virgo,
Ureris? Et thalamos alieni concipis orbis? | | Incerc sa inteleg sensul pentru o prezentare despre cultura organizationala si cum oamenii desi stiu ce ar trebui sa faca, fac tot ceea ce nu trebuie. Am tot gasit citatul asta de fiecare data cand era vorba despre asta.
Multumesc! |

But a new force drags me unwillingly; and my desire [advises] the one thing, my mind advises the other. I see the better ones and approve of them, I follow the worse. Why have you fallen in love with a stranger, royal virgin, and do you imagine a wedding in a foreign world? | | Ureris = 'are you ignited due to' I've translated it metaforically as 'have you fallen in love with'
Thalamos = 'wedding beds' which I translated as 'a wedding' (metonymical) |

2009年 5月 23日 13:14 | | | I'm not sure the beginning is right:'But a new force drags me involuntarily". I'd rather translate 'I'm attracted by a new power to life'... | | |
2009年 5月 23日 16:44 | | | I don't see "involuntarily" in Latin: it should be "a new force drags me to life" (in vitam). | | |
2009年 5月 23日 23:12 | | | Oh I'm sorry. Right now I am studying this text for my Final Exam in Latin this Monday. The version in my book and study material (which I believe is the original text by Ovid) says 'invitam' in stead of 'in vitam'. 'Invitam' agreeing with a left out 'me (latin)' (= Medea, who is saying this to herself), meaning involuntarily, unwillingly.
The original text can also be read online in the Latin Library, Ovid, Metamorphoses, Liber VII, verse 19-22
So you could either translate the requested version, or correct the request to the original meaning (not that Latin used spaces :P). I don't know what's best.
I hope I could help,

2009年 5月 23日 23:16 | | | Oh...in that case I think we should correct the request and keep your first version (with "involuntarily" ), Martijn.
What do you girls think?

2009年 5月 24日 00:24 | | | Well, "Invite" = unwilingly. "invitam" is the same? | | |
2009年 5月 24日 00:30 | | | Invitam is the female accusative singular form of the adjective invitus, a, um. 'Invite' would be an adverb, but 'invitam' agrees with 'me [trahit]' which is left out. In this part of the story princess Medea falls in love with the hero Iason, who is coming with his Argonautae to conquer the 'Phrixea vellera'. The king owns this golden skin and gives Iason three (rather impossible) tasks to complete: taming fire breathing bulls, defeating warriors born from the earth from the teeth of the dragon Cadmus once slew, and getting past the never sleeping dragon that guards the treasure. So as you can imagine, Medea shouldn't care about Iason, but she is attracted to this stranger and decides to help him.
In these sentences she acknowledges it is love and desire that confuses her and these are in conflict with her better judgement, duty and shame. She is in love and can't help thinking about treason, so this 'new force' [love] is dragging her 'unwillingly/involuntarily'
Maybe this little summary helps you understand =]

2009年 5月 24日 00:44 | | | Maybe: New force drags her unapproachable [woman]? What do you thing? | | |
2009年 5月 24日 08:58 | | | I think we should change the original text with the translation: "A new force drags her unwillingly". I think it works!

2009年 5月 24日 14:46 | | | Oh yes, of course I agree with my original translation involuntarily/unwillingly. The latter sounds best I think | | |
2009年 5月 24日 15:49 | | | Lilian,
You've made a little mistake editing. It should be 'drags me' in stead of 'drags her' in the first line.
| | |
2009年 5月 24日 16:15 | | | "drags her" was in Efylove's post 
Fixed now.  | | |
2009年 5月 24日 16:17 | | | Ah I see 
Thank you  |
