An article by Jerome Moran entitled ‘Spoken Latin in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance’ was published in the Journal of Classics Teaching in the autumn of 2019 (Moran, 2019). The author of the article contends that ‘actual real-life conversations in Latin about everyday matters’ never, or almost never took place among educated people in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. A long-standing familiarity with quite a few primary sources for the Latin culture of Renaissance and early modern period leads us to a rather different conclusion. The present essay, therefore, revisits the main topics treated by Moran.

重访中世纪晚期和文艺复兴时期的口语拉丁语

杰罗姆·莫兰 (Jerome Moran) 的一篇文章题为“中世纪晚期和文艺复兴时期的拉丁语口语”发表在经典教学杂志在 2019 年秋季（莫兰，2019 年）。这篇文章的作者认为，在中世纪晚期和文艺复兴时期，受过教育的人之间从未或几乎从未发生过“关于日常生活的真实的拉丁语对话”。对文艺复兴时期和近代早期拉丁文化的许多主要来源的长期熟悉使我们得出了一个截然不同的结论。因此，本文重新审视了莫兰处理的主要主题。
