French to Arabic: هـــــــــــــــــــــــــــل المواساة يومـــــــــــــــــــــــــاً حررت وطنـــــــــــــــــــــــــــاً؟
Source text - French بيت من الشعر أذهلني بروعته
توسّد القلب منذ أن خطّه القلم
أضحى شعاري وحفّزني لأكرمه
عشرين بيتاً لها من مثله حكم
لا تشكو للناس جرحاً أنت صاحبه
لا يؤلم الجرح إلا من به ألم
شكواك للناس يا ابن الناس منقصة
و من من الناس صاحاً ما به سقم
الهم كالسيل والامراض زاخرة
حمر الدلائل مهما أهلها كتموا
فإن شكوت لمن طاب الزمان له
عيناك تغلي ومن تشكو له صنم
وإن شكوت لمن شكواك تسعده
أضفت جرحاً لجرحك اسمه الندم
هل المواساة يوماً حرّرت وطناً؟
أم التعازي بديل إن هوى العلم
من يندب الحظ، يطفىء عين همّته
لا عين للحظ إن لم تبصر الهمم
كم خاب ظني بمن أهديته ثقتي
فأجبرتني على هجرانه التهم
Translation - Arabic I have been dazed by a sumptuous verse
It has rested against my heart since it has been versified.
It has become such emblematic for me, that I was inspired to devote to it
Twenty verses likewise full of wisdom
You shan’t complain your hurts to others.
The hurt is only painful for those who are pained
You, son of respectable family are complaining to people, is an abasing act.
None is free of sickness.
Grieves are torrential, diseases are abundant.
So flagrant to be hidable.
If ever you complain to prosperous people
They will not respond to you even if your eyes are burning
And if you complain to whom is pleased by your matter
Your suffering will be exacerbated by remorse
Had consolation ever liberated a homeland?
Instead, shall we be condoling in case of defeat?
Crying misfortune might affect our highness.
Without fervent invincibility the luck is not reliable.
I have been so disappointed by those to whom I devoted confidence
So, complaints had forced me to forsake him

Source text - French Over the course of many years, without making any great fuss about it, the authorities in New York disabled most of the control buttons that once operated pedestrian-crossing lights in the city. Computerized timers, they had decided, almost always worked better. By 2004, fewer than 750 of 3,250 such buttons remained functional. The city government did not, however, take the disabled buttons away—beckoning countless fingers to futile pressing.
Initially, the buttons survived because of the cost of removing them. But it turned out that even inoperative buttons serve a purpose. Pedestrians who press a button are less likely to cross before the green man appears, says Tal Oron-Gilad of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Israel. Having studied behaviour at crossings, she notes that people more readily obey a system which purports to heed their input.
Inoperative buttons produce placebo effects of this sort because people like an impression of control over systems they are using, says Eytan Adar, an expert on human-computer interaction at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Dr Adar notes that his students commonly design software with a clickable “save” button that has no role other than to reassure those users who are unaware that their keystrokes are saved automatically anyway. Think of it, he says, as a touch of benevolent deception to counter the inherent coldness of the machine world.
That is one view. But, at road crossings at least, placebo buttons may also have a darker side. Ralf Risser, head of FACTUM, a Viennese institute that studies psychological factors in traffic systems, reckons that pedestrians’ awareness of their existence, and consequent resentment at the deception, now outweighs the benefits.
Translation - Arabic Au cours de nombreuses années, et sans faire grand bruit à ce sujet, les autorités de New York ont désactivé la plupart des boutons de commande qui actionnaient auparavant les feux de passage pour piétons dans la ville. Tel qu'il a été établi, les minuteries informatisées fonctionnaient presque toujours mieux. En 2004, moins de 750 des 3 250 boutons demeuraient opérationnels. Pourtant, Le conseil municipal n’a pas enlevé les boutons désactivés tentant d'innombrables doigts à y appuyer sans résultat.
Au début, les boutons ont survécu grâce au coût de leur suppression. Mais il s’est avéré que même les boutons inopérants peuvent être utiles du fait que Les piétons qui appuient sur un bouton ont moins de chance de traverser avant que l'homme vert apparaisse, explique Tal Oron-Gilad de l'Université Ben Gourion du Néguev, en Israël. Ayant étudié le comportement aux passages piétons, elle note que les gens obéissent docilement à un système qui prétend prêter attention à leurs remarques.
Certes, les boutons inopérants génèrent des effets placebo de ce type car les gens aiment avoir l’impression d'exercer une certaine maitrise sur les systèmes qu’ils utilisent, explique Eytan Adar, expert en interaction homme-machine à l’Université du Michigan, à Ann Arbor. Docteur Adar mentionne que ses étudiants conçoivent souvent des logiciels avec la touche «Enregistrer» cliquable qui n'a d'autre rôle que de rassurer les utilisateurs qui ne s'aperçoivent pas que leurs entrées sont automatiquement enregistrées. Pensez-y, insiste-t-il, comme une touchée de tromperie bienveillante pour contourner la froideur inhérente du monde de la machine.
Par ailleurs, au moins au niveau des passages piétons, les boutons placebo peuvent aussi avoir un aspect plus sombre. Ralf Risser, directeur de FACTUM, un institut viennois qui étudie les facteurs psychologiques dans les réseaux de circulation routière, estime que la prise de conscience par les piétons de leur propre existence, et le mécontentement qui résulte de la tromperie, l'emportent désormais sur les avantages.
