Ancient Languages/Shorter version of "What we do in life echoes in eternity."
Expert: Maria - 11/20/2009
QuestionHello,
I've seen that you've already done several translations of this famous quote from the Gladiator movie. I'm particularly fond of the "Aeternitas vitae resonat tamquam imago" one. I'd like to consider having a similar translation inscribed on the inside of a ring, but there's a 30-character limit, and this translation is barely too long.
To that extent, could you please translate simply "Echo in eternity?" If it helps, I'd like it phrased as an imperative. If the imperative form prohibits the phrase from being 30 characters or less, then please disregard that requirement.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
AnswerHello,
"Echo in eternity “ as an imperative, 2nd.person singular, translates as follows:
-“In aeternum résona!”
Best regards,
Maria
