Proverbs about a home for children. Using additional sources of information, write down proverbs and sayings about home
The British have rightfully earned a reputation as a nation of notorious couch potatoes, and the traditional English interior, made in restrained colors and full of lovely details, has long become a symbol of comfort.
Today we will penetrate into the holy of holies of every Englishman, study English proverbs about the house and try to understand what place the hearth occupies in the English picture of the world.
The respect with which the English treat household matters is reflected directly in the language: the unambiguous Russian “house” in English is conveyed by two words “home” and “house”, each of which realizes a special meaning, and in the first proverb this opposition is expressed very clearly :
- A house is not a home.
Literal translation: A building is not yet a home.
Russian analogue: Don't say hop until you jump over.
Meaning:“House” for English speakers is precisely a physical shell and a really existing structure, while “home” is rather a special atmosphere inside it, which is born over the years and which must be tirelessly maintained. The British put the responsibility for home comfort on women's shoulders:
- Men make houses, women make homes.
Literal translation: Men build buildings and women turn them into houses.
Analogue in Russian: The house is the mistress.
Meaning: In the understanding of the British, it is the residents of the house that give it a sense of comfort and fill it with a sense of "habitation":
- The house is a fine house when good folks are within.
Literal translation: A house is beautiful when good people live in it.
Analogue in Russian: The hut is not red with the corners, but red with pies.
Meaning: The British even approach the issue of choosing a house with a sober mind, realizing that even the most luxurious Georgian mansion will not become cozy if it does not have a special relaxed atmosphere and the feeling of “at home”, which appears only if well-being reigns in the house:
- Grace your house, and not let that grace you.
- Owner should bring honor to the house, not the house to the owner.
Literal translation: Do honor to your home, rather than expect your home to present you in a favorable light.
Analogue in Russian: It is not the owner's house that paints, but the owner of the house. Without a master, a courtyard and a sire and widows.
Meaning: Today, the house has become a symbol of luxury, a way to demonstrate wealth and affirm one's position in society. However, the palace can seem deserted and unfriendly, while the most pathetic shack can warm the heart with memories of home. It is no coincidence that they say:
- Be it ever so humble, there "s no place like home.
Literal translation: No matter how poor the home is, there is nothing better than home.
Analogue in Russian: Housing with an elbow, and living with a marigold.
Meaning: This phrase was originally a line in the song “Home! Sweet Home! ”, Which was banned in the United States during the Civil War, as it evoked nostalgia for home and provoked mass desertions. Over time, this expression has become common in itself and understandable without context. Anyway, the feeling of homesickness - homesickness - is familiar to everyone, because even if we are experiencing adventures on the other side of the earth, every evening our thoughts invariably return to our home. The British know firsthand what it feels like, so they confirm:
- The wider we roam, the welcomer home.
Literal translation: The more we wander, the more desirable our home is.
Analogue in Russian: Everyone has their own side. Home and the horses run more merrily.
Meaning: Home for the British has become the embodiment of the key concept of the English mentality - privacy, the inviolability of the sacred personal space. Interference in what is done “behind closed doors” is strongly discouraged:
- Curiosity is ill manners in another's house.
Literal translation: Curiosity in someone else's house is the appearance of bad manners.
Analogue in Russian: Each hut has its own rattles.
Meaning: The British are sensitive to the observance of decency and the manifestation of respect and tolerance for the private life of any person, rightly noting that
- Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Literal translation: People living in a glass house should not throw stones.
Analogue in Russian: Do not point your finger at someone else's yard, otherwise they will point at yours with a pitchfork. Do not judge others, look at yourself.
Meaning: The secrets of personal life cannot be evaluated or censured, because the familiar space of the home, hidden from prying eyes, should give a feeling of security. That is why some of the ancestors of the modern English were inclined to think that:
- He that would be well needs not go from his own house.
Literal translation: Anyone who wants everything to be safe should not leave the house.
Meaning: Going beyond the predictable home environment for the British is tantamount to leaving the zone of psychological comfort and the emergence of a sense of threat. In other words,
- Far from home is near the harm.
Meaning: Nevertheless, sometimes even in your own home it is impossible to feel safe, especially if conflicts rage inside the house and misunderstandings multiply. Domestic strife weakens each family member:
- House divided against itself cannot stand.
Literal translation: A house divided into itself will not stand.
Analogue in Russian: You cannot break a broom, but you’ll break the whole broom along the twig.
Meaning: This biblical expression from the Gospel of Matthew was gradually simplified and entered into everyday use, but did not lose its edifying power. In addition, in addition to internal conflicts, there is always an external threat to domestic well-being:
- When the house is open, the honest man sins.
Literal translation: When the house is open, even the righteous will sin.
Analogue in Russian: Where it lies badly, there the thief looks. Do not put bad things, do not lead a thief into sin.
Be attentive to the safety of your home, maintain home comfort and leave home more often so that every time you cross the threshold of your home and make sure that there is no place like home.
