Facile est gratis agere pro beneficis

Post by Kachikawawa »

Hello!!
This is from LLPSI:
"Facile est gratias agere pro beneficis, nec vero quidquam dificilius esse videtur quam beneficiorum meminisse"
"But it doesn't seem that anything is more hard than remember the benefits"
Is it correct?

I would write "beneficiis and "difficilius." Vero strengthens the negative and gives it an adversative quality, "but indeed."
