نبذة نيل وفرات:This small collection of Arabic idioms is intended for both Arab students of English and for English-speaking students of Arabic. The aims of the compiler have been to stimulate the interest of the student of Arabic in the richness of Arabic expression and to introduce the native Arabic speaker ...to varieties of idiomatic translation.
For the foreign student of Arabic it may seem daunting that modern Arabic, even the much-maligned newspaper versions, draws on such a wealth of sources: the Koran, Hadith, poetry ancient and modern, proverbs and rhyming prose, etc. This small collection gives samples from these and other sources with the aim of smoothing the path of the student.
The native speaker of Arabic may find it useful to study the various possibilities for translating into idiomatic English almost any of the examples given. Much will depend, of course, on the context as to whether one chooses this piece of idiomatic English or that. There could be a world of difference, for example in rendering 'marhaba!' by 'Hi!' or 'Hullo!' or 'Welcome!', to mention only a few possibilities. This may be a good point at which to remind students that there is a vast difference between 'He is very rich' and 'He is too rich' which can be rendered in the same words in Arabic.
The selection of items for translation is based on taking the Arabic as the origin. The arrangement is alphabetical by root and it will be obvious immediately that the selection is a very subjective one. The compiler has, in choosing from many thousands of items made personal judgements about which items he has found in most common use. Postillions-and-lightning juxtapositions have been studiously avoided.
Items have been numbered consecutively irrespective of alphabetical divisions and it is hoped that this feature plus the parallel text arragement will help students in self-testing and teachers in assigning and testing learning. Teachers will inevitably find that they wish to add to the possibilities for English idioms (which have been deliberately kept to a meaningful minimum) and may find this collection a useful mine for compiling sentences to illustrate meaning more fully. إقرأ المزيد
