I have been trying to translate Catullus poems for some months and it has become like a puzzle. I need some help. If you can will you help me find some good Latin translators or The translated version of Catullus's poems?

Congratulations on learning Latin - I really enjoy Catullus, too! He was one of my absolute favorites. Thucydides was my least favorite. While I generally found Greek to be easier than Latin, he most certainly was not.
Loeb Classical Library editions, printed by Harvard University Press, have the Latin or Greek printed on the left page and the English translation printed on the right. They have hundreds of them, for virtually all Latin and Greek authors. The Latin authors have red covers and the Greek authors have green covers. They retail for $21.50 apiece, but you may be able to find it used. I would check Amazon.com. Barnes and Noble carry them in the store, so you may be able to check one out without actually buying one, if you are just stuck on a few things. But it is a really nice book to own.

I can't help you with the translation. It has been so long since I studied Latin (grades 7, 9 and 10) but I had a hot teacher in high school!
