أَخْيَلُ مِنْ غُرَابٍ.
لأنه يَخُتال في مِشْيته.
---------------------------------------------
More boastful than a raven.
Because it struts about in its gait.
----------------------------------------------
المثل العربي «أَخْيَلُ مِنْ غُرَابٍ» يُضرب لمن يتبختر ويتباهى في مشيته وهيئته، تشبيهًا بالغراب الذي يبدو كأنه يختال أثناء سيره.
ومن أقرب المقابلات في الثقافة الإنجليزية: As proud as a peacock.
«مغرور أو مختال كطاووس.»
وهو أشهر تعبير إنجليزي للدلالة على التبختر والزهو.
To strut like a peacock.
«يتبختر كطاووس.»
ويستعمل لوصف المشية المتعالية أو الاستعراضية.
To strut about.
«يمشي مختالًا أو متبخترًا.»
Proud as Punch.
«في غاية الزهو والاعتداد بالنفس.»
لكنه يركز على الشعور بالفخر أكثر من المشية المختالة.
وأقرب مقابل من حيث الاختيال في المشية هو:
To strut like a peacock.
«يتبختر كطاووس.»
إذ إن الطاووس في الثقافة الإنجليزية يؤدي الدور الرمزي نفسه الذي أداه الغراب في هذا المثل العربي، وهو التبختر والزهو

The Arabic proverb "More boastful than a crow" is used to describe someone who struts and shows off in their walk and appearance, likening them to a crow that seems to swagger as it walks.
A close equivalent in English culture is:
"As proud as a peacock."
"Arrogant or boastful like a peacock."
This is the most common English expression for strutting and boasting.
"To strut like a peacock."
"To strut like a peacock."
Used to describe an arrogant or ostentatious gait.
"To strut about."
"To walk with arrogance or swagger."
"Proud as Punch."
"Extremely proud and self-important."
But this emphasizes the feeling of pride more than the swaggering gait itself.
The closest equivalent in terms of swaggering in walking is:
"To strut like a peacock."
"To strut like a peacock."
"To strut like a peacock."
"To be extremely proud and self-absorbed."
This focuses more on the feeling of pride than the swaggering gait.
The closest equivalent in terms of swaggering in walking is:
"To strut like a peacock."
"To strut like a peacock."
"To strut like a peacock. "He struts like a peacock."
For in English culture, the peacock plays the same symbolic role as the crow in this Arabic proverb: strutting and boasting.
