起立致敬 (Standing ovation)

Audieris in quo, Flacce, balneo plausum,
Maronis illic esse mentulam scito.

When you hear applause in a bath, Flaccus,
You may be sure that Maro’s cock is there.

弗拉科,如果你听到洗澡堂里有热烈的掌声,
一定是马罗涅那头公牛在里边。

Flacco, se ai bagni senti un’ovazione
sappi che lì c’è il cazzo di Marone.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 9, XXXIII
