Caesar salad and Julius Caesar 는 관계가 있을까? 영어로 하면?

1. Is there any relation between caesar salad and Julius Caesar? (relation 대신(instead) link or connection 을 써도 되죠.)

2. Does caesar salad have anything to do with Julius Caesar?

The answer is NO!

The caesar salad was originally made by an Italian chef named Caesar Cardini. He ran a small hotel in Mexico. On July 4, 1924, he ran out of supplies and had to whip up a meal for a group of Hollywood stars with leftover ingredients. That’s how he invented caesar salad. This is the most common story of its origin anyway.

What I was trying to tell you was not about Caesar Salad. It’s that I have been watching a TV series called ‘Rome’ on DVD. It’s about Julius Caesar. I’m on the third disc out of six at the moment. World history was my favourite subject at school.

그렇게 열심히 외웠던 내용들이 점점 기억에서 가물가물해지는게 너무 안타까와서, 티비나 영화에서 역사적인 내용이 나오면 인터넷에서 자료를 찾아 기억을 되살리려고 노력해요.

English pronunciation is different from Latin, and we follow Latin original pronunciation in Korea. So I get confused when I hear the name of places and kings & queens in English. Gaius Julius Caesar(가이어스 줄리어스 시저), for instance, is known as 가이우스 율리우스 카이사르. (102BC~44BC)

• Caesar and Cleopatra? 시저와 클레오파트라? —Whiling staying in Egypt, 도망가 있던 클레오파트라를 지도자 자리에 다시 앉히죠, 로마의 꼭두각시 역할을 하게하려고(to make her a puppet for Rome) and she gave birth to a son, Caesarion, 시저의 아들.

• Caesar and Epilepsy? (시저와 간질병) — Even though it is still a controversy, many historical documents suggest that he suffered from epilepsy. Famous Greek philosophers such as Socrates(소크라티스),Plato and other religious figures have been suspected of having epilepsy. 천재(genius)들은 생각이 많아서 우울증(depression)이나 personality change(순간적인 성격변화) 등의 증상이 있었을 거라 상상은 가죠. 그래서 모두 간질병을 앓았다고(suffer) 하기엔 지나친 일반화(generalisation)일수도 있죠. 근데 Caesar 증상(symptom)은 거의 사실이라고 인정한답니다(admit).
