33、le) mediocrity when it comes to speaking foreign languages. As a 13-year-old, I hardly approached my own Latin lessons with anything resembling enthusiasmI might have been keener if Aeneas went to the shops occasionallybut I am terrifically grateful I had them, all the same. The benefits are many. H
34、aving a basic grounding in Latin makes learning Romance languages a doddle(轻而易举的事): the fact that I speak English plus three others has less to do with any genetic predispositionI was hopeless at learning Russianthan with an understanding of the root and provenance of Latin-derived words. It would b
35、e impossible to have a smattering of Latin and find oneself stuck in Italy, provided one managed to persuade the speaker to slow down a bit.

It makes the kind of people who never use two short words when six big ones will do intelligible . It de
38、mystifies jargon and legalese. It helps with crosswords. It even forces those of us who are pathologically illogical to think logically every once in a while: I remember the pleasure I felt at school, during Latin translation, when I realized I could create order and sense out of apparent chaos. Rea
39、lly, Latin“s useful applications are manifold. Watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? a few weeks ago, I noticed that the question which felled the contestant would almost certainly not have stumped him had he had some Latin. Of all the possible answers, only one had a Latin root that echoed the qu

47、“ As a father of six, he might have added something about women“s role in the reproduction of the species. But his aphorism is about as good a one-sentence summary of classical feminism as you can get. The first generations of successful women insisted on being judged by the same standards as men. T
48、hey had nothing but contempt for the notion of special treatment for “the sisters“, and instead insisted on getting ahead by dint of working harder and thinking smarter. Margaret Thatcher made no secret of her contempt for the wimpish men around her. (There is a joke about her going out to dinner wi

They“ll have steak as well.“) During America“s most recent presidential election Hillary Clinton taunted Barack Obama with an advertisement that implied that he, unlike she, was not up to the challenge of answering the red phone at 3am.
