صياعة ودشرة.

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Contemporary novel
- لأنني أعرف أنك صاحب كتب، تقرأ، وتحب العلم والمعرفة، لم يكن لدي علم أنك صاحب صياعة ودشرة. ترقص، وتهز إليتك بكل براعة، إنك راقص بارع يا أخي، مبارك علينا جميعا، لدينا أخ يرقص كالمخنثين. أشك في رجولتك يا سلامة.

دشرة describes the person who hates staying at home and prefers walking in the streets for no reason. It has a similar meaning to the word صياعة That's why I recommend to ignore it and just put "The worst" for the both words.

Proposed translations

hooliganism and vagrancy

If you want a literal translation, any of the synonyms of vagrancy can work; think how someone who doesn't work or study and just goes out and parties or roams the street all day/night would be described in English.

However, I would actually translate صاحب صياعة ودشرة as one unit and render it: a hooligan and vagrant, or a vagabond and bum, or a party animal and hooligan, or any combination of synonyms of those words; best would be one that involves vagrant or similar as دشرة denotes wandering without a purpose.

the worst

I wasn't know that you are the worst!

(The word صياعة here in this conext means that he has the opposite characteristics of the reader or the decent person).


The opposite of المهذب is الرذيل which means the worst!
