Monology on the blackboard

・Strong vinegar will break its own vessel.
強い酢はその容器も駄目にする。（攻撃的な人は最後に自分自身を損なう）

・It’s impossible to hold two watermelons in one hand.
片手で２つのスイカは持てない。（自分の限界をわきまえろ）

・When things don’t go right, even halva will break your tooth.
上手くいかないときはハルバ（柔らかいトルコの飴）でさえ歯を折る。（物事がうまく行かない時は単純な事にも苦労するものだ）

・He can’t crumble dumplings for himself, yet he cuts noodles for others.
自分の茹で団子もほぐせない男が他人の麺を切る。（自分の単純な仕事さえできない者が他人の複雑な仕事に口をはさむ）

・If you don’t have honey, have a honey tongue.
蜜がないなら蜜のような舌を持て。（裕福でないならせめて魅力と賢さを持つべし）

・To be hungry is better than to be in debt.
空腹は借金を抱えるよりマシ。

・When a tree bears much fruit, it bends low.
多く実をつける木ほどよく曲がる。（出来のいい人ほど控え目だ）

・You don’t give milk to the child who doesn’t cry.
泣かない子はミルクをもらえない。（最も騒がしいものが注目を浴びる）

・Neither meat, nor fish.
肉でもなければ魚でもない。（型にはまらない人や状況）

・Today’s egg is better than tomorrow’s hen.
明日の雌鶏より今日の卵。（明日はわからないから機会を逃すな）

・When you’re young, carry stones. When you’re old, eat pilaf.
若いうちは石を運び、歳をとったらピラフを食べろ。（能力のあるうちに働き、楽しむのは後にしろ）
