Fourth Quiz

example for the proverbs :

With idioms and proverbs we never translate word-for-word.

As translators, we should get an equivalent idiom or proverb.

The Mawrid dictionary lists the proverbs in alphabetical order and he also mentions the following
1- the proverb in English
2- next to it on the same line, a word-for-word translation
3- the history of the verb
4- equivalent proverbs in arabic

So, some examples of how to answer, are as follows:

EX 1: Birds of a feather flock together. الطيور على أشكالها تقع-الطيور ذات الريش المتشابه يألف بعضها بعضاً
EX 2: Blood is thicker than water.أنا و أخي على إبن عمي و أنا و ابن عمي على الغريب -الدم أشد كثافة من الماء
an example of a creative answer is (an answer not in Mawrid gets 1 mark bonus) :

The BONUS Chance:
EX 2:.قول الاخوة المصريين : عمر الدم ما يصير مَيَّة

HOWEVER, if the answer is repeated by more than one student, no one gets the mark.
Even when you have a Bonus answer you MUST state the one that Al-Mawred provided WITH the creative answer.
Now, make sure both Arabic and English have good spelling.

the vowels, capital or small letters, and even Arabic (-ه-ـه - ـة-ة) or (ء-أ-إ-آ-ا).
Know the difference between the English comma (,) and the Arabic one (،).
REMEMBER: Both English and Arabic sentences end with a full stop (.).
good luck
