More shameful than the woman with the two breasts. اخْزَى مِنْ ذَاتَ النّحْيَيْنِ.

اخْزَى مِنْ ذَاتَ النّحْيَيْنِ.

 قد ذكرتُ قصتها في حرف الشين عند قولهم "أشْغَلُ من ذات النَّحْيَيْنِ"

More shameful than the woman with the two breasts.
I mentioned her story under the letter "Sheen" when they said, "More preoccupied than the woman with the two breasts."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
المثل العربي «أَخْزَى مِنْ ذَاتِ النَّحْيَيْنِ» يُضرب لمن أصابه خزي وافتضاح شديد.
و«ذات النحيين» امرأة اشتهرت في أخبار العرب بحادثة جلبت لها العار والسخرية، فصار اسمها مثلًا في الخزي، كما صار مثلًا في الانشغال عند قولهم: «أشغل من ذات النحيين».
ولا يوجد في الإنجليزية مثل يذكر شخصية بعينها تؤدي هذا المعنى، لكن أقرب المقابلات هي: To lose face.
«يفقد ماء وجهه» أو «يتعرض للإهانة والفضيحة».
To die of shame.
«يكاد يموت خجلًا.»
As red as a beetroot.
«أحمر من شدة الخجل والحرج.»
To be the laughingstock of everyone.
«يصبح أضحوكة الناس.»
وأقرب مقابل للمثل العربي من حيث الخزي والافتضاح أمام الناس هو:
To lose face.
أو بصيغة أقوى:
He became the laughingstock of the town.
«أصبح أضحوكة البلدة.»
وهو يؤدي المعنى الذي تؤديه «أخزى من ذات النحيين» في التراث العربي.

The Arabic proverb “More shameful than the woman with two breasts” is used to describe someone who has suffered severe disgrace and scandal.
“The woman with two breasts” was a woman infamous in Arab history for an incident that brought her shame and ridicule. Her name became a proverb for disgrace, and it also became a proverb for being preoccupied, as in the saying, “Busyer than the woman with two breasts.”
There is no English proverb that mentions a specific person who conveys this meaning, but the closest equivalents are:
To lose face.
“To lose face” or “To be humiliated and scandalized.”
To die of shame.
“To be nearly dying of shame.”
As red as a beetroot.
“To be as red as a beetroot.”
To be the laughingstock of everyone.
“To become the laughingstock of everyone.”
The closest equivalent to the Arabic proverb in terms of shame and public disgrace is:
To lose face.
Or, to put it more forcefully:
He became the laughingstock of the town.
“He became the laughingstock of the town.”
This conveys the same meaning as the Arabic proverb “more shameful than the two-faced one.”

More arrogant than a humiliated woman. أَخْيَلُ مِنْ مُذَالَة.

أَخْيَلُ مِنْ مُذَالَة.

يَعْنُون الأمة، لأنها تُهَان وهي تتبختر.
------------------------------------------
More arrogant than a humiliated woman.
They mean the nation, because it is humiliated while it struts about.
-------------------------------------------------
المثل العربي «أَخْيَلُ مِنْ مُذَالَة» يُضرب لمن يجمع بين الذلة والاختيال، أو لمن يتباهى ويتكبر رغم وضاعة حاله أو خضوعه.
ولا يوجد مقابل إنجليزي مطابق تمامًا، لكن من أقرب التعابير والأمثال الإنجليزية: Pride and poverty go hand in hand.
«الكبرياء والفقر يسيران معًا.» ويقال عن الشخص الذي يتباهى رغم سوء حاله.
All hat and no cattle. (مثل أمريكي)
حرفيًا: «قبعة كبيرة ولا ماشية له.» ويُضرب لمن يتظاهر بالعظمة والمكانة وهو يفتقر إلى ما يبررها.
Putting on airs.
أي «يتصنع التكبر أو التعالي»، خاصة إذا كانت منزلته الحقيقية متواضعة.
Proud as a peacock, with nothing to show for it.
«متباهٍ كطاووس، وليس لديه ما يفاخر به.» وهو تعبير وصفي لا مثل ثابت.
وأقرب مقابل من حيث المعنى والسخرية هو:
All hat and no cattle.
لأنه يصور شخصًا يتظاهر بالعظمة والمهابة بينما واقعه لا يوافق ذلك، وهو قريب من معنى «أخيل من مذالة».

The Arabic proverb “More arrogant than humiliated” is used to describe someone who combines humiliation with arrogance, or someone who boasts and is haughty despite their low status or subservience.
There is no exact English equivalent, but some of the closest English expressions and proverbs are:
Pride and poverty go hand in hand.
“Pride and poverty go hand in hand.” This is said about someone who boasts despite their poor circumstances.
All hat and no cattle. (American proverb)
Literally: “A big hat and no cattle.” This is said about someone who pretends to be great and important but lacks the justification for it.
Putting on airs.
Meaning: “To feign arrogance or superiority,” especially if their actual status is modest.
Proud as a peacock, with nothing to show for it.
“Proud as a peacock, with nothing to show for it.” This is a descriptive expression, not a fixed proverb.
The closest equivalent, in terms of meaning and irony, is:
All hat and no cattle.
This is because it portrays someone who feigns greatness and prestige while their reality contradicts it, and it is close in meaning to "Achilles of humiliation."

أَذَلُّ النَّاسِ مُعْتَذِرٌ إِلَى لَئِيمٍ‏. The most abject of people is he who apologizes to a mean person

It is the system's right to include this proverb among those who use the superlative form of this word. Because a noble person does not need to apologize, and perhaps a mean person will not accept an apology.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The English equivalent of this proverb, in its meaning of the humiliation of apologizing to a mean person who doesn't appreciate the apology:
“Never apologize to a fool.”
Meaning: Don't apologize to a fool, because he doesn't understand or appreciate the apology.
------------------------------------------------------------------
“A noble man accepts an apology; a mean man exploits it.”
Meaning: A noble man accepts an apology, while a mean man exploits it.
Thi is very close to the explanation of the proverb.“Noman is more humbled than one forced to beg pardon from the unworthy.”
eaning: o one is more humiliated than one forced to apologize to someone undeserving.
To apologize to the base is to waste your dignity.”Meaning: Apologizing to a mean person is a waste of dignity.
And the closest expression to the spirit of the Arabic proverb:

“Never apologize to a mean man.”“Do not apologize to a mean person.”
