the frivolity	levitas
The teacher teaches that seriousness is better than frivolity, if we are discussing public matters.	Magistra docet gravitatem meliorem esse quam levitatem, si de rebus publicis disputamus.

Harmony arises from trust and good will.	Concordia ex fide et bona voluntate nascitur.
After the discussion agreement at last arises among the girls, and the teacher rejoices.	Post disputationem tandem consensus inter puellas nascitur, et magistra gaudet.
Although disagreement about one word remains, no insult is heard among the students.	Quamvis dissensio de uno verbo maneat, nullum convicium inter discipulos auditur.
the sadness	tristitia
Sadness forces the boy to cry.	Tristitia puerum flere cogit.
the measure	modus
The cook adds a measure of water, so that the bread may not be too dry.	Coquus modum aquae addit, ne panis nimis siccus sit.
Grandfather says that seriousness can be kept without sadness, but that frivolity without measure often harms.	Avus dicit gravitatem sine tristitia servari posse, sed levitatem sine modo saepe nocere.
the speech	sermo
The orator’s speech is pleasing to the citizens.	Sermo oratoris civibus gratus est.
Mother adds that urban speech is not always better than rustic speech.	Mater addit sermonem urbanum non semper meliorem esse quam sermonem rusticum.
to despise	spernere
A wise person despises a lie and loves the truth.	Homo sapiens mendacium spernit et veritatem amat.
Not even a rustic woman despises kindness or courtesy, if poor neighbors ask for help.	Ne rustica quidem femina humanitatem aut comitatem spernit, si vicinae pauperes auxilium petunt.
If someone is clever, can that person also keep modesty? The teacher answers that it is possible, if he does not seek glory.	Si quis callidus est, potestne etiam modestiam servare? Magistra respondet posse, si gloriam non quaerat.
Not even a reader can remember everything in one day; therefore it is useful to read every day.	Ne lector quidem omnia uno die meminisse potest; ideo cotidie legere utile est.
at first	primo
At first the female student is silent, but afterward she answers clearly.	Primo discipula tacet, sed postea clare respondet.
The listeners, who were silent at first, afterward asked whether another reading would take place on the next day.	Auditores, qui primo tacebant, postea rogaverunt utrum altera lectio postero die futura esset.
more pleasant	iucundior
This reading is more pleasant to me than that one, because more women appear wise and brave in this story.	Mihi haec lectio iucundior est quam illa, quia plures feminae in hac fabula prudentes et fortes apparent.
The learned teacher advises the students to follow good authors, not those who love frivolity rather than seriousness.	Magistra docta discipulis suadet ut bonos auctores sequantur, non eos qui levitatem potius quam gravitatem amant.
me	ego
Mother accompanies me to the forum.	Mater me ad forum comitatur.
I like this teacher’s way, because she explains not only words, but also the use of words.	Mihi mos huius magistrae placet, quia non solum verba, sed etiam usum verborum explicat.
the quiet	quies
The quiet in the library is more pleasant to me than the noise in the forum.	Quies in bibliotheca mihi iucundior est quam strepitus in foro.
