Got it, but still big thanks to all!
dance and sins are one in kind,
That very easily 'tis scented:
The dance by Satan was invented
When he devized the golden calf
And taught men at God to laugh,
And Satan dancing still doth use
To hatch out evil, to abuse.
It stirs up pride, immodesty,
And prompts men ever lewd to be.
The pagan Venus gives her hand
And purity is rudely banned.

I was reading some research about Bosch's paintings and then there was some ancient German in it. I tried to use Google Translate but it didn't help much. So I wonder if i can get some help here. Here is the text from Sebastian Brant’s Narrenschiff. And I want a general translation in English line by line please.
Wie dantz / mit sund entsprungen sy
Und ich kan mercken / und betracht
Das es der tufel hat vffbracht
Do er das gulden kalb erdaht
Vnd schu(e)ff das got wart gantz veraht
Noch vile r mit zu(e) wegen bringt
Uss dantzen wil vnratts entspringt
Si ust hochfart / vnd üppikeyt
Und fn louff der vnlutterkeyt
So schleyfft man Venus by der hend
So hatt all erberkeyt eyn end.
your help would be much appreciated !
September 17, 201710 - No change or No smoke? I went to Bali last week and it was a lot of fun! However, I got confused about something when I went to a shop to buy something. I took out a 10000 Indonesian note (about 10 USD) to buy a drink, and then the shop assistant asked me No smoke? I think he was asking me whether I had smaller note or not. I am not sure whether it spells NO SMOKE, but i am pretty sure it pronounces like the word smoke. So I wonder if there is a saying in English that you can say No smoke instead of No change. I know this question seems silly but a lot of thanks to those who answer it!! _xoxoAugust 10, 201710
- How to pronounce the "bt" combination in English words? Words like "debt, subtle, doubt", we don't have to pronounce the "b" sound. Does this rule apply to other words? Are there any other common examples? P.S Where is the Q&A function on italki. As far as i can remember, it exited long ago and i found it quite useful. Why did they delete it?August 10, 201770
- How to read this sentence in Spainish, "Viva la vida"? It is /biva la bida/ or /biva la vida/ or just /viva la vida/? hope you guys understand what i am talking about : )To be honest, i think it should be pronounced as /biva la vida/. In my Spanish textbook, it says: If there is a "b/v" letter at the beginning of a word or after "m" or "n", it pronounces as /b/. In other situations, it is /wa/. The first V in this sentence is the beginning so it's /b/. But the second and the third V is closely after the vowels "i" and "a", so it is /wa/.July 26, 201640
- Friends from italki! I am back:D Let me first introduce myself. I come from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province,China, and you can call me Pat if you like. I started to use this website when I was in middle school, about four years ago. Then I went into senior school, and I became busy with my study and seldom had time to access italki to communicate with friends here. But now, I've graduated from senior high school and going to be a college student. I have to admit that I feel quite excited about everything that is going on and the future. I am enjoying my three-month summer vacation now and I think of Italki by chance. So I think that maybe I can help those who want to learn Chinese well in my spare time at italki and meanwhile I can improve my English and get myself prepared for new college life. Oh..I have to say that how time flies! Great changes have taken place on this website and I not sure whether I know how to use it. :P So...what I am trying to say is as above. I am really happy to make friends from different countries. If you want to learn Chinese, just add me as friends and I will reply you as soon as possible!June 24, 201401
