A dry land where dogs are raised.خطيطة فيها كلاب شغر

خطيطة فيها كلاب شغر
الخطيطة، الأرض التي لم يصبها مطر بين أرضين ممطورتين. وشغر الكلب، رفع إحدى رجليه من الأرض ليبول. يضرب لقوم وقعوا في بؤس وهم مع ذلك يستطيلون على الناس.

A patch of land where dogs are raised.
The patch of land is a piece of land that has not received rain between two pieces of land that have. And the dog is raised, meaning it lifts one of its legs off the ground to urinate. This proverb is used to describe people who have fallen into misery but still act arrogantly towards others.

المثل العربي «خَطِيطَةٌ فِيهَا كِلَابٌ شَغَر» يُضرب لقوم يعيشون في بؤس أو فقر، ومع ذلك يتكبرون على الناس أو يتطاولون عليهم. فـ"الخطيطة" أرض مجدبة بين أرضين خصيبتين، ومع هذا فإن كلابها تتصرف بكبرياء.
ولا يوجد مثل إنجليزي مطابق تمامًا، لكن أقرب المقابلات هي:
Poverty and pride go ill together.
«الفقر والكبرياء لا يجتمعان على خير.»
وهو أقرب مقابل مباشر من حيث المعنى.
Pride costs more than hunger.
«الكبرياء أشد كلفة من الجوع.»
أي أن التكبر مع الحاجة مذموم.
Beggars shouldn't be choosers.
«المحتاج لا ينبغي أن يتخير.»
ويقال لمن هو في ضيق، ومع ذلك يتصرف بتعالٍ أو يرفض ما يُعرض عليه.
Empty vessels make the most noise.
«الأوعية الفارغة أكثرها ضجيجًا.»
ويستعمل لمن لا يملك شيئًا ومع ذلك يكثر من التفاخر أو الادعاء.
أفضل مقابل
إذا كان المقصود هو اجتماع الفقر مع الكبر والاستعلاء، فإن أقرب مثل إنجليزي هو:
"Poverty and pride go ill together."
أما إذا كان التركيز على تكبر المحتاج وتعنته، فإن:
"Beggars shouldn't be choosers."
هو الأنسب.

The Arabic proverb “Khatita fiha kilab shaghar” (a barren land with dogs in it) is used to describe people living in misery or poverty, yet who are arrogant and disrespectful towards others. “Khatita” refers to a barren land between two fertile lands, yet its dogs behave with pride.
There is no exact English proverb, but the closest equivalents are:
Poverty and pride go ill together.
“Poverty and pride do not go well together.”
This is the closest direct equivalent in meaning.
Pride costs more than hunger.
“Pride is more costly than hunger.”
That is, arrogance in times of need is reprehensible.
Beggars shouldn't be choosers.
“A person in need should not choose.”
This is said of someone who is in hardship, yet acts haughtily or refuses what is offered to them.
Empty vessels make the most noise.
“Empty vessels make the most noise.” It is used to describe someone who owns nothing yet boasts or makes excessive claims.
Best equivalent:
If the intention is to describe the combination of poverty with arrogance and pride, the closest English proverb is:
"Poverty and pride go ill together."
However, if the focus is on the arrogance and obstinacy of the needy, then:
"Beggars shouldn't be choosers."
is the most appropriate.

The best provision is that which suffices, and the best remembrance is that which is done secretly. خير الرزق ما يكفي وخير الذكر الخفي

خير الرزق ما يكفي وخير الذكر الخفي
خير الرزق ما يكفي وخير الذكر الخفي
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best provision is that which suffices, and the best remembrance is that which is done in secret.
The best provision is that which suffices, and the best remembrance is that which is done in secret.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
القول «خيرُ الرزقِ ما يكفي، وخيرُ الذكرِ الخفي» يجمع بين معنيين: أن أفضل الرزق ما يسد الحاجة دون إسراف أو تكلف.
وأن أفضل الذكر ما كان خالصًا لله، بعيدًا عن الرياء والسمعة.
ولا يوجد مثل إنجليزي واحد يجمع المعنيين، لكن توجد مقابلات قريبة:
في الشطر الأول: «خير الرزق ما يكفي» Enough is as good as a feast.
«الكفاية تعدل الوليمة.»
وهو أشهر مثل إنجليزي في القناعة والاكتفاء.
He who knows enough is enough will always have enough.
«من عرف أن الكفاية كافية فلن يفتقر.»
في الشطر الثاني: «خير الذكر الخفي» Good deeds shine in a dark place.
«الأعمال الصالحة تضيء ولو في الخفاء.»
Do good and throw it into the sea. (مقابل شائع في ثقافات أخرى، لا إنجليزي أصيل)
True devotion needs no audience.
«الإخلاص الصادق لا يحتاج إلى جمهور.»
وأقرب صياغة إنجليزية جامعة للمعنى هي:
Enough is as good as a feast, and true devotion needs no audience.
أي:
«الكفاية خير من الوفرة، والإخلاص الحق لا يحتاج إلى شهرة أو استعراض.»
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The saying, “The best provision is that which suffices, and the best remembrance is that which is done in secret,” encompasses two meanings:
That the best provision is that which satisfies one's needs without extravagance or excess.
And that the best remembrance is that which is done purely for God, far removed from hypocrisy and the desire for praise.
There isn't a single English proverb that perfectly captures both meanings, but there are some similar equivalents:
In the first part: “The best provision is that which suffices.”
Enough is as good as a feast.
This is the most famous English proverb about contentment and sufficiency.
He who knows enough is enough will always have enough.
In the second part: “The best remembrance is that which is done in secret.”
Good deeds shine in a dark place.
Do good and throw it into the sea. (This is a common equivalent in other cultures, not native English.)
True devotion needs no audience.
True devotion needs no audience. The closest and most comprehensive English phrasing of the meaning is:
Enough is as good as a feast, and true devotion needs no audience.
That is:
"Sufficient is better than abundant, and true devotion needs no publicity or display."

المثل العربي «أَخْلَى مِنْ جَوْفِ حِمَارٍ» يُضرب للشيء أو الشخص الذي لا خير فيه، أو الذي هو فارغ العقل أو خالي الوفاض.
ولا يوجد مقابل إنجليزي مطابق في الصورة، لكن من أقرب الأمثال والتعابير: Empty-headed.
«فارغ الرأس» أو «أحمق.»
Empty as a drum.
«فارغ كطبل.» ويستعمل للشيء الخالي.
Empty-handed.
«عاد خالي الوفاض.»

«لا يملك ذرة من العقل.»
An empty vessel makes the most noise.
«الإناء الفارغ أكثر جلبة.»
ويضرب لمن قل علمه أو عقله وكثر كلامه.
فإن كان المقصود الخلو والفراغ المطلق، فأقرب مقابل هو:
Empty as a drum.
وإن كان المقصود فراغ العقل وقلة الفهم، فأقربه:
Empty-headed.
وكلاهما يؤدي المعنى الذي يقصده العرب بقولهم: «أخلى من جوف حمار».
