easy come, easy go باد آورده را باد میبرد
no news is good news بیخبری خوش خبری ست
third time lucky تا سه نشه بازی نشه
be the thin end of the wedge تخم مرغ دزد شتر دزد میشود
tit for tat این به اون در
every cloud has a silver lining در نا امیدی بسی امید است
a liar ought to have a good memory دروغگو کم حافظه است
outstay one's welcome کنگر خوردن و لنگر انداختن
be more catholic than the pope= کاسه داغ تر از آش
more royalist than the king
curiosity killed the cat فضول را بردند جهنم
the biter bit دست بالای دست بسیار است
nothing ventured,nothing gained نابرده رنج گنج میسر نمیشود
bussiness is business حساب حساب است کاکا برادر
practice makes perfect کار نیکو کردن از پر کردن است
The cat dreams of mic شتر در خواب بیند پنبه دانه
(tell) a cock and bull story قصه حسین کرد شبستری گفتن
smell fishy کاسه ای زیر نیم کاسه است
Horses for courses هر کسی را بهر کاربی ساخته اند
A big head has a big ache هر که بامش بیش برفش بیشتر
Go with the ride هم رنگ جماعت شدن
East, West, home’s best هیچ کجا خانه خود آدم نمیشود
Tells tales یک کلاغ چهل کلاغ کردن
Hit the jackpot یک شب پول دار شدن
Keep up with the joneses چشم و هم چشمی کردن
Knock sth down چوب حراج به چیزی زدن
The miles of God grind slowly (but they grind exceeding small) چوب خدا صدا ندارد
Put a spoke in sb’s wheel چوب لای چرخ کسی گذاشتن
Cry wolf چوپان دروغگو
What’s cooking? چه کاسه ای زیر نیم کاسه است
Accidents can happen حادثه خبر نمیکند
Account for حساب پس دادن
Sweet nothing حرف های صد من یه غاز

The interview with God

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
So you would like to interview me? God asked.
If you have the time? I said.
God smiled. ? My time is eternity.
What questions do you have in mind for me?
What surprises you most about humankind?
God answered...
That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
Long to be children again.
That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.
That by thinking anxiously about the future,
They forget the present,
Such that they live in neither the present nor the future.
"That they live as if they will never die,
آand die as though they had never lived.
we were silent for a while.
And then I asked.
As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn
To learn they cannot make anyone love them.
All they can do
is let themselves be loved.
To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.
To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.
To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.
To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least
To learn that there are people who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.
To learn that two people can
look at the same thing and see it differently?
To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.
"Thank you for your time," I said
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know"
God smiled and said, Just know that I am here... always.

در رويا ديدم که با خدا حرف ميزنم
او از من پرسيد :آيا مايلي از من چيزي بپرسي؟
گفتم ....اگر وقت داشته باشيد....
لبخندي زد و گفت: زمان براي من تا بي نهايت ادامه دارد
چه پرسشي در ذهن تو براي من هست؟
پرسيدم: چه چيزي در رفتار انسان ها هست که شما را شگفت زده مي کند؟
پاسخ داد:
آدم ها از بچه بودن خسته مي شوند ...
عجله دارند بزرگ شوند و سپس.....
آرزو دارند دوباره به دوران کودکي باز گردند
سلامتي خود را در راه کسب ثروت از دست مي دهند
و سپس ثروت خود را در راه کسب سلامتي دوباره از صرف مي کنند....
چنان با هيجان به آينده فکر مي کنند.
که از حال غافل مي شوند
به طوري که نه در حال زندگي مي کنند نه در آينده
آن ها طوري زندگي مي کنند.،انگار هيچ وقت نمي ميرند
و جوري مي ميرند ....انگار هيچ وقت زنده نبودند
ما براي لحظاتي سکوت کرديم
سپس من پرسيدم..
مانند يک پدر کدام درس زندگي را مايل هستي که فرزندانت بياموزند؟
پاسخ داد:ياد بگيرند که نميتوانند ديگران را مجبور کنند که دوستشان داشته باشند
طوري رفتار کنند که مورد عشق و علاقه ديگران باشند
ياد بگيرند که خود را با ديگران مقايسه نکنند
ياد بگيرند ...ديگران را ببخشند با عادت کردن به بخشندگي
داريد ايجاد کنيد ياد بگيرند تنها چند ثانيه طول مي کشد تا زخمي در قلب کسي که دوستش
ولي سال ها طول مي کشد تا آن جراحت را التيام بخشيد
ياد بگيرند يک انسان ثروتمند کسي نيست که دارايي زيادي دارد
بلکه کسي هست که کمترين نيازوخواسته را دارد
ياد بگيرند کساني هستند که آن ها را از صميم قلب دوست دارند
ولي نميدانند چگونه احساس خود را بروز دهند
ياد بگيرند وبدانند ..دونفر مي توانند به يک چيز نگاه کنند
ولي برداشت آن ها متفاوت باشد
ياد بگيرند کافي نيست که تنها ديگران را ببخشند
بلکه انسان ها بايد قادر به بخشش و عفو خود نيز باشند
سپس من از خدا تشکر کردم و گفتم
آيا چيز ديگري هم وجود دارد که مايل باشي فرزندانت بدانند؟
خداوند لبخندي زد و پاسخ داد: فقط اين که بدانند من اين جا و با آن ها هستم..........براي هميشه

a jokes

A blonde goes into a shop and asks if she can buy the TV that is in the window. The shopkeeper tells her "Sorry! We don't serve blondes." So she goes home and dyes her hair brown. She returns to the shop the next day and asks to buy the TV in the window. Again she is greeted with the same reply. Sorry we don't serve blondes. Thinking maybe her roots had given her away or she had missed a spot with the dye, she returns to the shop the next day wearing a wig, a pair of sunglasses and a large hat. She asks the shop keeper if she can buy the TV in the window and again he says "No sorry we don't serve blondes." Now the blonde is beginning to get naked. "How did you know I was blonde after all I did to my hair?" She shrieked manically. "Easy..." replied the shopkeeper. It's not a TV... It's a microwave."
