Sorry, no. That long article attempts to explain why one "lost in translation" and that would be another. Again, from the article: "As Latin scholar Maria S. Marsilio points out, “carpe diem” is a horticultural metaphor that, particularly seen in the context of the poem, is more accurately translated as “plucking the day,” evoking the plucking and gathering of ripening fruits or flowers, enjoying a moment that is rooted in the sensory experience of nature." (I've already plucked some ripe fruits this summer and I can only advise those who can't relate to the original meaning to try doing this once too. FWIW Steve Jobs knew and apparently that's how he named the company: http://www.minyanville.com/special-features/articles/little-known-fact-about-steve-jobs/3/22/2011/id/33106 http://www.minyanville.com/special-features/articles/little-... "Steve was coming back from a visit to Oregon to a place he called an 'apple orchard.' Steve suggested a name - Apple Computer" )
