Better than a peacock. Better than a peacock, and than the bride's market, and than the time of the Barmakids, and than the coming world, and than the sun and the moon, and than pearls and roosters.

في اللغة الإنجليزية، لا يوجد ترجمة حرفية تنقل هذا السجع والتراث الثقافي بدقة، ولكن هناك عدة طرق لترجمته والتعبير عن معناه حسب السياق:
1. الترجمة الأسلوبية (ترجمة المعنى والروح - الأفضل)
إذا كنت تريد التعبير عن المعنى الشامل للمقولة (وهو أن الشيء أو الشخص لا يُقدّر بثمن وأجمل وأفضل من كل ملذات وزينة الحياة)، فالعبارات الإنجليزية المقابلة لهذه المبالغة هي:
"More radiant than the sun, more splendid than the finest treasures of the world."
(أكثر إشراقاً من الشمس، وأكثر روعة من أثمن كنز في العالم)
"Outshining the moon, wealthier than empires, and grander than all the riches of the earth."
(يفوق القمر بريقاً، وأثرى من الإمبراطوريات، وأعظم من كل ثروات الأرض)
"Beyond all compare; fairer than a peacock, richer than the golden age of kings, and brighter than the sun and moon."
(فوق كل مقارنة؛ أجمل من طاووس، وأثرى من العصر الذهبي للملوك، وأسطع من الشمس والقمر)
3. تعبيرات مجازية إنجليزية شائعة (Idioms) تعطي نفس الغرض
إذا كنت تبحث عن تعبيرات إنجليزية قياسية تصف شيئاً يجمع كل محاسن الدنيا:
"Second to none" (لا يعلوه شيء / لا مثيل له)
"Beyond description / Beyond compare" (ياقوتة / فوق الوصف والمقارنة)
The absolute epitome of beauty and splendor" (القمة المطلقة في الجمال والروعة)
"Worth more than all the riches of Croesus" (تعبير غربي قديم يعني: أثرى وأثمن من كل كنوز قارون/الملك كرويسوس)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In English, there is no literal translation that accurately conveys this rhyme and cultural heritage, but there are several ways to translate and express its meaning depending on the context:
1. Stylistic Translation (Translating the Meaning and Spirit - Best)
If you want to express the overall meaning of the saying (that the thing or person is priceless and more beautiful and better than all the pleasures and adornments of life), the English equivalents of this hyperbole are:
"More radiant than the sun, more splendid than the finest treasures of the world."
(More radiant than the sun, more splendid than the finest treasures of the world)
"Outshining the moon, wealthier than empires, and grander than all the riches of the earth."
(Outshining the moon, wealthier than empires, and grander than all the riches of the earth)
"Beyond all compare; fairer than a peacock, richer than the golden age of kings, and brighter than the sun and moon."
(Beyond comparison; more beautiful than a peacock, richer than the golden age of kings, and brighter than the sun and moon)
3. Common English Idioms That Serve the Same Purpose
If you are looking for standard English expressions that describe something that embodies all the world's finest qualities:
"Second to none"
"Beyond description"
