A far cry from my own fifteenth year.

我与他相比真是天壤之别
When I put on the toga virilis and passed into manhood

当初我身披成人服参加成人礼
It was a stuffy formal ceremony

仪式无聊至极
ridden with corpses and hags.

尽是些阿谀之徒相貌鄙陋之辈
My father deemed himself an orator.

家父自诩是一名演说家
Lulled our guests to slumber some never to awaken!

冗长的演讲令来宾昏昏欲睡
We would not have it so for Numerius.

努曼里斯的成人礼可不能重蹈覆辙
He's been clamoring for a pair of your finest

他一直吵嚷着要在宴会上
to battle in exhibition at his celebration.

请你们最好的角斗士来场厮杀
Well we would see him well satisfied.

我们很乐意满足令郎的心愿
And by extension his noble father.

行政官大人我们也乐意效劳
Though thought strikes if you hold the celebration beneath my humble roof

既然大人赏脸在寒舍设宴
