يقال: أرض أراضة فهو أريض، كما يقال خلق خلاقة فهو خليق، يضرب للرجل الكامل الخير، أي أنه أهل لأن تأتي منه الخصال الكريمة.
He is worthy of goodness. It is said: He is worthy of goodness, just as it is said: He is worthy of goodness, and he is worthy of goodness. This is said of a man who is perfect in goodness, meaning that he is worthy of having noble qualities come from him.

التعبير العربي «إِنَّهُ لَأَرِيضٌ لِلْخَيْرِ» يُقال للرجل الكامل المروءة والفضيلة، الذي هو أهل لأن تصدر عنه الخصال الكريمة والأعمال النبيلة.
أقرب مقابل له في الإنجليزية:
“He is a man of sterling qualities.”
أي: إنه رجل ذو صفات أخلاقية رفيعة وأصيلة.
ومن التعبيرات القريبة أيضًا:
“He is a man of great virtue.” — رجل عظيم الفضيلة.
“He is made of good stuff.” — إنه معدن أصيل، وتتجلى فيه الصفات الطيبة.
“He has goodness in him.” — الخير متأصل فيه.

أقرب مقابل في رأيي: “He is a man of sterling qualities.”
لأنه لا يصف الرجل بأنه يفعل الخير فحسب، بل يدل على أن الخير والصفات النبيلة أصيلة في طبعه ومعدنه.
