The bird loves her nest
هیچ جا بهتر از خانه ی آدم نیست

Leave of absence مرخصي بدون حقوق
Absence makes the heart grow fonder دوري و دوستي
He was looking at me in an absent way جاي ديگري بود به من نگاه مي كرد در حاليكه حواسش
In these animals the tail is absent دمدار نيستند اين حيوانات
The absent party is always to blame است كه تنها به قاضي مي رود هميشه حق با كسي
Long absent, soon forgotten از دل برود هر آنكه از ديده برفت
We express our deepest condolence for your misfortune
به مناسبت مصيبت وارده عميق ترين تسليت خود را ابراز مي داريم
Mucus of the nose: آب بيني
All the seas of the earth تمام آب هاي زمين
At the end of در پايان
At the foot of در شروع
At the mercy of وابسته به...…

His business is brisk: كسب او رونق دارد
To give a curt negative reply: آب پاكي را روي دست كسي ريختن
To risk one’s life: خود را به آب و آتش زدن
To become free of danger: آب از آسياب افتادن
An honorable death is better than an inglorious life: مردن با عزت به از زندگي در مذلت است
An injury forgiven is better than an injury revenged در عفو لذتي است كه در انتقام نيست
A sound mind is in a sound body: عقل سالم در بدن سالم
