What does this mean? postquam Caecilius rem explicavit, omnes amici tacebant. mox 'vale' dixerunt et e villa discesserunt.

I used a translator and got this:

when Caecilius rem explanation omnes friendship tacebant. soon bid farewell he had spoken and out of country house discesserunt

It means: call a friend who took notes in class and ask him. This isn’t homework.net

After Caecilius explained it (the thing), all the friends went silent. Soon they said “goodbye” and left the house.
Is my guess.

Also, what Zen said. Do your homework yourself next time, mkay.

Don’t worry, I don’t like Latin either.

I looked this up, too. For all you jerks that said “do your homework yourself,” the answer isn’t in the textbook. And if you wanted to yell at people for asking homework questions, why are you even on this site?

I got pretty much the same answer as Fyrius, though. “After Caecilius explained it, his friends were quiet.”

Sorry, I meant to write “After Caecilius explained it, ALL his friends were quiet.” Omnes is all.

This is not a site for homework questions.
We don’t like to answer homework questions because there’s a reason why pupils need to figure that stuff out themselves, even if it’s not given verbatim in the textbook. We don’t want to help people to sabotage their education by cheating.

If you have trouble understanding complicated homework subjects, you’re welcome to ask for help, and you’ll almost certainly get it. If you want us to fill in your answers for you, without showing any interest in how to get there yourself, then you shouldn’t be here.
It depends on whether you’ll learn more or learn less from getting the answer you ask for.

@Fyrius
It’s not cheating. I looked through the entire textbook, all my class notes, and my mom even checked. So the next thought, naturally, is to look it up online. This was the first hit that came up. I also asked my friends from that class. They didn’t know it. The teacher admitted the next day that he hadn’t taught us everything we needed to translate that.
And if you think we should only be asking for ways to find the answer or a little help rather than asking for the answer, why did you give the answer?

Ah, you got me. The reason why I gave the answer away was because I could figure it out and I couldn’t resist.
In retrospect, I could have been somewhat more responsible. Guilty as charged.
Not that one sentence is such a big deal, but the point stands.
