peer agreement (net): +1Her blue-colored eyes were the blue color of flowers. Explanation: Hi Simon, The adjective "آبی رنگ" here is exactly the English "blue-colored" and "به رنگ آبی بودن" means exactly "to be (the color of) blue." As you see, we can omit "the color of" in English, but you may keep it to resemble the original tone, perhaps. You may also translate "گلها" as "roses" instead of "flowers." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2009-03-03 11:45:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Other options: Her blue-colored eyes were as blue as roses/flowers. Her blue-colored eyes resembled the blue of flowers/roses. |

peer agreement (net): +2Her blue-colored eyes were of the color of flowers Explanation: Dear Simon, As Mr. Emami says: "آبی رنگ" here is exactly "blue-colored" in English but as you might have considered yet, in literary language resemblence is usually shown using "of" instead of "like", "similar to" or "the same as". |
