 Idioms




إخوتي الأعزاء أقدم
لكم اليوم موضوع جديد كثير الأهمية و فيه الكثير من الفائدة.
الموضوع هو عبارة عن Idioms مع معانيها و
أمثلة عليها.
هذا الموضوع هام جدا لمحبي تعلم اللغة
الانجليزية و خاصة الراغبين في التقدم لإمتحان التوفيل.
يا رب الموضوع يعجبكم و يكون في إفادة
لكم.
طبعا أنا لن أستطيع وضع كل idioms
و لكن الموضوع سيتجدد خلينا نقول كل
أسبوع تقريبا.

first of all: What
is an idiom

It is a speech
form or an expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself
grammatically or cannot be understood from the individual meanings of
its elements

هي نوع من التعابير
الخاصة بلغة معينة و التي يصعب تفسيرها من خلال تفسير معنى كل كلمة في
الجملة بشكل فردي.
أي انك لو حاولت أن تترجم كل كلمة
موجودة في التعبير على حدى للوصول إلى معنى التعبير فلن تستطيع ذلك لأن
المعنى سيكون بعيد تماما عما هو مقصود.
و لمزيد من التوضيح أنظر إلى الشرح.
