Latin for All Occasions
''Latin for All Occasions'' (''Lingua Latina Occasionibus Omnibus'') is a 1990 book by Henry Beard, and ''Latin for Even More Occasions'' (''Lingua Latina Multo Pluribus Occasionibus'') is a 1991 sequel. Both contain translations of modern English phrases into mostly literal Latin equivalents.
Beard is known as a humorist but studied Latin for eight years at Harvard. He wrote the Latin himself, but had it checked and polished by scholars Mark Sugars and Winifred Lewellen. The idea for the books was from John Boswell. The illustrations are by Mikhail Ivenitsky and both books were published by Villard Books, a division of Random House.
The translations are mostly direct, so an English expression like "Get your ducks in a row" is translated as ''Anates tuas in acie instrue''. The significance of having ducks lined up would presumably be a mystery to an ancient Roman, or indeed to a non-American.
