Arabic to English: Walt Disney
General field: Other
Detailed field: Other
Source text - Arabic
قلما تجد شخصية تشبه شخصية والت ديزني الذي بهر العالم كله بإبداعه في مجال الرسوم المتحركة. كان والت ديزني في بداية حياته فقيرًا يسكن في بيت تشاركه فيه الفئران. ولكن الرجل لم يترك نفسه تغرق في البؤس والشقاء، بل أطلق العنان لخياله ليتخيل أن هذه الفئران تعيش مغامرات أخذ يسطرها بقلمه ويرسمها بريشته، ومن هنا خرجت فكرة (ميكي ماوس)، ثم توالت الشخصيات. ولم يرحل ذاك الموهوب عن دنيانا إلا وهو من أغنى أغنياء أمريكا.
Translation - English
Walt Disney was a rare person whose creativity dazzled the entire world in the field of animation. At first, he led a poor life, living in a house shared by mice. However, the man did not leave himself sink into misery. Unleashing his imagination, he imagined that these mice experience adventures. He wrote and drew those ‘adventures’. This is how Mickey Mouse came to the world, followed by other cartoon characters. When the talented man passed away he was one of the richest men in America.
English to Arabic: WWII
General field: Other
Detailed field: History
Source text - English
that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world’s nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of “total war”, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources
Translation - Arabic
دارت رحى الحرب العالمية الثانية من عام 1939م حتى عام 1945م، وقد اكتوت بنارها عدة دول. ولكن سبق هذا التاريخَ وقوعُ نزاعات متعلقة بتلك الحرب. وقد شاركت في تلك الحرب الغالبيةُ العظمى من دول العالم، وكان من بينها الدول العظمى، وقد انقسمت فيما بينها إلى كتلتين متحاربتين: دول الحلفاء ودول المحور. ولم تنتشر نارُ حربٍ في التاريخ مثلما انتشرت نيران تلك الحرب، ولم لا وقد شارك فيها ما يربو على 100 مليون شخص من أكثر من 30 دولة. ولأنها كانت “حربًا شاملة” فقد سخَّرت كبرى الدول المشاركة فيها كافة إمكاناتها الاقتصادية والصناعية والعلمية لخدمة المجهود الحربي، ولم تفرِّق في ذلك بين الموارد المدنية والموارد العسكرية.
English to Arabic: Martin Luther King Jr
General field: Other
Detailed field: History
Source text - English
Martin Luther King Jr was one of America’s most influential civil rights activists. His passionate, but non violent protests, helped to raise awareness of racial inequalities in America, leading to significant political change.
Martin Luther King was also an eloquent orator who captured the imagination and hearts of people, both black and white. In one of his speeches he said:
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.
Translation - Arabic
كان مارتن لوثر كِنج الابن أحد أبرز مناصري الحقوق المدنية في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. وكان يتبنى أسلوبًا سلميًّا في الاحتجاج يخاطب فيه الوجدان والمشاعر، ما ساعد على نشر الوعي بوجود ألوان من التمييز العنصري في المجتمع الأمريكي، وأدى بعد ذلك إلى إحداث تغيير كبير في الحياة السياسية.
وكان مارتن لوثر كِنج خطيبًا مفوهًا تأسر كلماته الألباب وتمس عباراته القلوب، وكان ذاك التأثير يشمل البيض والسود على حد سواء.
قال في إحدى خطبه:
أحلم بيوم تنهض فيه هذه الأمة لتعيش المعنى الحقيقي لما اتخذته يومًا عقيدة لها ونبراسًا إذ قالت: "ونؤمن بأن هذه الحقائق واضحة وضوح الشمس في رابعة النهار" ومنها "أن الله خلق الناس جميعًا سواسية."
أحلم بيوم تشرق فيه الشمس على تلال جورجيا الحمراء وإذ بأبناء من كانوا يومًا عبيدًا وأبناء من كانوا يومًا سادة يجلسون على طاولة واحدة طاولة الأخوة.
أحلم بيوم أنظر فيه إلى تلال جورجيا الحمراء لأرى أبناء من كانوا يومًا عبيدًا وأبناء من كانوا يومًا سادة يجلسون على طاولة واحدة طاولة الأخوة.
