I had a classmate who thought he was clever when instead of learning the vocabulary for a class test in Latin he memorized the passages of the translation of De Bello Gallico that we suspected might come in the class test and then just translated the first sentence of the text we got in the class test and wrote down the rest from memory. That would have worked, but it turned out that his translation was completely wrong. So wrong that he basically got another sentence that matched one of the sentences he had memorized. So to our Latin teacher’s astonishment and amusement he got a translated text from De Bello Gallico, just not the right one. My classmate had written down a completely wrong passage.
