Chinese readings[edit]

What is the Chinese reading of the "chong" character of 周冲? It is a name of a character in Thunderstorm (play) - Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 03:24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In pinyin, it would be zhōu chōng. (chōng in this context would mean "rush forward") Bluap (talk) 09:18, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Need good Latin translation[edit]

I need a better Latin translation than Google Translate can do for:

tum in otium te conloces, dum potes, ames - Thanks.Doug Coldwell ^talk 19:19, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's from Plautus' play Mercator, Act II, scene iii. Henry Thomas Riley in 1881 translated it, "then... you may set yourself at your ease; drink, and be amorous". Angr (talk) 22:56, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks.--Doug Coldwell ^talk 23:06, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
