A human being should have humanity
ادمی را آدمیت لازم است

The more noble, the more humble
درخت هر چه بار آرد سر فرو آرد

Pleasant hours fly fast
زمان وقتی که خوش است زود می گذرد

The end of game you will see whom as winner
شاهنامه آخرش خوش است

Gaming, woman and wine, when they laugh they make men pine
وقتی که می و معشوق و قمار دست به دست هم میدهند آدمی را به غم و رنج و اندوه مبتلا می سازد

Neither extreme is good
هیچ افراط و تفریطی پایدار نیست
گاهی از سوراخ سوزن رد میشود گاهی از در هم رد نمیشو

Out of sight, out of mind
همینکه از دیده رفتی از دل هم میروی

Give credit, where credit is due
عیب ها جمله بگفتی...هنرش نیز بگوی

There is no color beyond black
بالاتر ا زسیاهی رنگی نیست

Two is company….three is none
ما صد نفر بودیم تنها......آنها دو نفر بودند همراه

Politeness cost nothing
ادب مرد به ز دولت اوست
با ادب باش تا بزرگ شوی

Late children, early orphans
بچه آخر عمری " زنگوله ی پای تابوت است

Soon hot is soon cold
عشق تند زود به سردی میگراید

Rome was not built in a day
گر صبر کنی ز غوره حلوا سازی

The first step is the hardest one
هرکاری اولش سخت است

با من رو راست باش

Wall have ear
دیوار مش دلره موش هم گوش داره

Its between to our ears

چشم پر به از دست پر است

If u wish the dog to follow you need him
نان بده فرمان بده

To fly with other wings
از ریسمان دیگران پنبه ساختن

از دست دوست هر چه ستانی شکر بود

Love generates love
از دل به دل راه است

Love me little love me long
مرا کم دوست بدار ولی همیشه(کریستوفو مارلو)

Love is without reason
عشق منطق و قانون نمیشناسد

A mother love never ages
تا حیات است عشق مادری هست

Love is full of trouble
عشق درد نیست ولی به درد آرد


Old love doesn’t rust
ای خوش آن روزگار دیرینه عشق دیرین و یار دیرینه

All is fair in love and war
عشق و رشک از هم جدا هستند

Love speaks even the lips are closed
گر چه تفسیر زبان روشنتر است لیک عشق بیزبان روشنتر است

[Borna66]

Every mad man thinks all other men mad
کافر همه را به کیش خود پندارد

All meat not pleasant all mouths
علف باید به دهن بزی شیرین باشه


Better a lean peace than a fat victory
تا صلح توان کرد در جنگ مکوب


No pay …. No piper
گربه ای که موش میگیرد نه از بهر خداست

The bird loves her nest
هیچ جا بهتر از خانه ی آدم نیست

- cause someone to fall in love with you

She quickly stole the heart of the man who was working beside her at her office.

take one's vows

- get married and take your wedding vows (promises)

They were taking their vows down at the county courthouse when I came for a visit.

those three little words

- the words "I love you"

After several months of dating the young man finally said those three little words to his girlfriend.

tie the knot

- get married

After dating for several years the young couple suddenly decided to tie the knot.

true love

- a genuine feeling of romantic love

It seemed like true love until we began to fight all of the time.

unrequited love

- love that is not returned, one-way love

The woman was in love with the president of her company but from the beginning it was a case of unrequited love.

walk down the aisle together

- get married (in this case in a Christian church where many weddings take place and where the bride walks down the aisle to the altar)

They get along very well and they have finally decided to walk down the aisle and begin their life together.

walk out on

- abandon your partner and end a relationship

The man walked out on his wife and their small baby and nobody knew the reason why.

whisper sweet nothings in someone's ear

- romantic, intimate talk

The movie was rather romantic and most of the scenes had the actor whispering sweet nothings in the ear of the actress.

Leave of absence مرخصي بدون حقوق
Absence makes the heart grow fonder دوري و دوستي
He was looking at me in an absent way جاي ديگري بود به من نگاه مي كرد در حاليكه حواسش
In these animals the tail is absent دمدار نيستند اين حيوانات
The absent party is always to blame است كه تنها به قاضي مي رود هميشه حق با كسي
Long absent, soon forgotten از دل برود هر آنكه از ديده برفت
We express our deepest condolence for your misfortune
به مناسبت مصيبت وارده عميق ترين تسليت خود را ابراز مي داريم
Mucus of the nose: آب بيني
All the seas of the earth تمام آب هاي زمين
At the end of در پايان
At the foot of در شروع
At the mercy of وابسته به...…

His business is brisk: كسب او رونق دارد
To give a curt negative reply: آب پاكي را روي دست كسي ريختن
To risk one’s life: خود را به آب و آتش زدن
To become free of danger: آب از آسياب افتادن
An honorable death is better than an inglorious life: مردن با عزت به از زندگي در مذلت است
An injury forgiven is better than an injury revenged در عفو لذتي است كه در انتقام نيست
A sound mind is in a sound body: عقل سالم در بدن سالم

There is no fool like an old full
سر پیری و معرکه گیری

Life is battle, not a feast
دنیا جای آزمایش است نه آسایش

Cheating play never thrives
بار کج به منزل نمیرود

To carry water in a sieve
آب در هاون سائیدن

Put an old cat to an old cat
شعال بیشه مازندران را نگیرد جز سگ مازندرانی


To make an empty compliment
آب حمام به هم تعارف کردن

There is time for every thing
حرف در گرو وقت است

The good man die young
Good man are scarce
خداوند گلچین میکند

When I am not, let happen what may
دنیا پس از مرگ ما چه دریا چه سراب

[Borna66]

People of the same level understand each other
آشنا داند زبان آشنا

If u are physician, heal yourself
کل اگر طبیب بودی سر خود دوا نمودی

Saying and doing are two different thing
ز قول تا عمل چند هزار فرسنگ فاصله است

Better, beg than steal
گدایی به از دزدی است

Man needs wisdom rather than gold
آدمی را عقل می یابد نه زر

A wise man avoid edged tools
غایت جهل بود مشت زدن سندان را

Two wrong don’t make a right
خون را باخون نمیشورند

He who can do any thing. Can do nothing
همه کاره و هیچ کاره

All is fair in love and war

Failure teaches success

Grey hair are death’s blossom

Habit is second nature
عادت طبیعت ثانوی است
Two hand are better than one

A good dog deservers a good bone
هر رفتی امدی دارد

[Borna66]

Few words are best
کم گوی گزیده گوی چون در تا ز اندک نو جهان شود پر

It’s the unexpected that constantly happens
از هرچه بدم میاد سرم میادFirst try and then wives.
مه نا ازموده مفر مای کار

Every one sees his picture in the water
افراد خوب همه را خوب و افراد بد همه را بد میبینند

Don’t love at the first look
با اولین نگاه عاشق نشو

Life is short, and time is swift
زندگی کوتاه است و زمان به سرعت میگذرد

Face to face , the truth come out
چشم تو چشم بیفتد حیا میکند
حیای انسان در چشم اوست

A good character is better than a good face
به است از روی نیکو خویِ نیکو

The longest day must have an end
همیشه در دنیا به یک پاشنه نمیچرخد

[Borna66]

There is four sorts of men:
_He who knows not and knows not he knows not;
He is a fool-shun him;
_He who knows not and knows he knows not;
He is simple –teach him;
_He who knows and knows not he knows.
He is asleep wake him;
_He who knows and knows he knows;
He is wise –follow him;

انسانها به چهار دسته تقسیم میشوند؟
_ آنکس که نداند و نداند که نداند –دیوانه ای بیش نیست از او بپرهیزید
_آنکس که نداند و بداند که نداند- او ساده لوحی بیش نیست تعلیمش دهید
_ انکس که بداند و نداند که بداند- او در خواب غفلت است بیدارش کنید
_آنکس که بداند و بداند که بداند- او عاقل است از او تاسی جوئید
( لیدی بورتون)

[Borna66]

In for a penny, in for a pound
آب که از سر گذشت چه یک نی چه صد نی

The heart’s letter is read in the eyes
چشمش را ببین دلش را بخوان

He that swear , will die.
دروغگویی و سوگند ملازم همدیگرند

We can’t lie down and cry ( god help us)
از تو حرکت از خدا برکت

When poverty comes in at the door love flies out of windows
وقتی که فقر از در وارد میشود عشق از پنجره پرواز میکند
تنگت نگرفته که عاشقی یادت برود

Man is the measure of all things
انسانها محور و معیار همه ارزشهایند

No man can serve two master
به یک روی در محراب بودن
نمیتوان در عین حال اش معاویه را خورد .هم نماز علی را خواند. هم طبال یزید بود هم علمدار حسین.هم اسب شمر را نعل کرد هم مشک حضرت عباس را دوخت. هم نماز شب خواند هم اب توی شیر کرد و .....

[Borna66]

Desperate man needs no help
از جان گذشته را به مدد نیاز نیست

There is some different between peter and peter
شکر مازندران و شکر هندوستان هردو شیرینند اما این کجا و ان کجا

Hanging and winning go by destiny
ازدواج و اعدام هر دو جزو سرنوشته آدمی است
هر کجا داغ بایدت فرمود چون تو مرهم نهی ندارد سود

The devil isn’t as black he is painted
پیشداوری افراد در قضاوتها دخالت دارد

The devil dances in an empty pocket
جیبش از خانه ی خدا پاک تر است
شپش تو جیبش چهار قاب میندازه

He that falls today, may rise tomorrow
شکست مقدمه پیروزی است

Many drops make a flood
اندک اندک جمع گردد وانگهی دریا شود

The burnt child dreams the fire
مار گزیده از ریسمان سیاه سفید میترسد !

Great honors are great burdens.
آدمی هر چه فراتر مرود امکان فرو افتادنش نیز بیشتر میشود

Every one knows best where his shoe pinches
هیچ کس از درد کسی خبر ندارد
اموری تمثیل زیبایی دارد :
آن شنیدم که رفت نادانی ، به عیادت به درد دندانی
گفت باد است زین غم مباش ، گفت آری ولیک نزد تو این
درد من همچو کوه فولاد است، چون نو زان فارغی ترا باد است

I say “ it’s bull” but he tell me to milk it
آسمان ریسمان بافتن
من میگم نره تو میگی بدوش !
من میگم لباس ندارم اون میگه دامنت رو بگیر !
من از بند حسین در اضطرابم ، تو از عباس میگویی جوابم

To build castle in the air
کس نباید چشمه ی آب حیات اندر سراب
سودای خام در سر داشتن

[Borna66]

You can not know the wine by the barrel
از ظاهر کسی نمیتوان به باطنش پی برد

Boil not the pape before the child is born
دیر اومده زود میخواد بره

Watched not never boils
انتظار بدترین حالت انسانی است !

It is very hard to shave an egg!
از روود خشک ماهی گرفتن


First try and then wives!
پرهیز از بی گدار به آب زدن و بی احتیاطی !

Two wrong do not make a right
One does not wash away blood with blood!
خون رو با خون نمیشورند !
آتش رو با آتش خاموش نمیکنند !

دیر رسیدن بهتر از هرگز نرسیدن است .

No news is good news
بی خبری , خوش خبری است .

A man's home is his castle
هیچ جا خونه ی آدم نمی شه .

There is no smoke without a fire
تا نباشد چیزکی مردم نگویند چیزها .

Money doesn't grass on tree
پول علف خرس نیست .

He is a yes man
بله قربان گو است .

In Rome do as Roman do
خواهی نشوی رسوا همرنگ جماعت شو .


Rome wasn't built in one day
نمی شه یک شبه ره صد ساله را پیمود .

[Borna66]

Make up your mind
سریع تر تصمیم بگیر .

Once in a blue moon

Much coins , much care
هرکه بامش بیش , برفش بیش تر .
