All questions on Latin

Translation help please

Hi, could you please help me translate the English phrase 'Life's too short' into Latin please. Your help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Matt

Although rather cliche, the closest phrase would probably be "Carpe diem", literally "Seize the day". A more literal translation would be "Vita nimis brevis est", "Vita brevis est", or simply "Vita brevis" depending on how much you want literally expressed and how much you want to leave to the reader's interpretation.

Maryport! Latin Project!

For a latin project which i have to present in power point I have to give information about Maryport (the place) in modern times and Roman times. I can't find a lot of information on it though? I also have to make a fact sheet about it. Thanks a lot! xoxo
