I need help translating some text from “Entremes” by Cervantes.?
Para ser sacre en esto de mojón y catavinos. En mi casa probó los días pasados una tinaja, y dijo que sabía el claro vino a palo, a cuero y hierro; acabó la tinaja su camino, y hallóse en elasiento della un palo pequeño y dél prendía una correa.
I’ve been trying to figure out what this means. I’ve looked through the definitions of several of the words but they don’t make any sense to me. Does anyone have any advice to offer for reading this book. I’m in AP Spanish and I have to write summaries for a few chapters, but since this is a play, it makes the task all the more difficult. >.<
Ok. Let me try to help you with this paragraph translating it into english.
Para ser sacre en esto de mojón y catavinos.
To be an expert in the wine tasting (“sacre” may also refer to a “thief”)
En mi casa probó los días pasados una tinaja,
In my house, he tasted a basin some days ago (“tinaja” refers to a large container but not a glass)
y dijo que sabía el claro vino a palo, a cuero y hierro; acabó la tinaja su camino,
and he said that this white / light wine tasted like a stick (wood), leather and iron, the basin ended his road
y hallóse en elasiento della un palo pequeño y dél prendía una correa.
and he found himself in the seat thereof a small stick and a strap hanging from it
I know it doesn’t make much sense in Englsih, but believe me, it doesn’t make much sense in Spansih either, lol.
Sorry you need to read this kind of literature, there are so many other good books to read…This book by Cervantes is the kind of book I avoided to read when in school or simply I didn’t read it, I preferred a bad grade instead of breaking my head trying to understand something so useless (personal opinion), I don’t see the value to read something like this.
Well, hope my translation helps…
