السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،

أقترح الترجمات التالية.

1- التوجه مباشرة نحو (أو أن يقصد المرء هدفه مباشرة دون لف أو دوران)

Origin
The phrase derives from the behaviour of bees. When a forager bee finds a source of nectar it returns to the hive and communicates its location to the other bees, using a display called the waggle dance. The other bees are then able to fly directly to the source of the nectar, i.e. 'make a beeline' for it.

2- طرح الحقائق (أي قضية) دون التشكيك بها أو دون أن تشوبها شائبة

Origin
This is another of those ancient phrases that we accept with our mother's milk as an idiom but which seem quite strange when we later give it some thought. When we are trying to convey that we acknowledge or have no objection to something, why bring bones into it?

It has been suggested that the bones are dice, which were previously made from bone and are still called bones in gambling circles. That explanation doesn't stand up to scrutiny - 'to make no dice about it' makes little sense. Also, in a 1542 translation of Erasmus's Paraphrase of Luke he discussed the command given to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and wrote that 'he made no bones about it but went to offer up his son.' Erasmus wasn't noted for his visits to the gaming tables and would hardly have used gambling terminology to discuss a biblical text.

The source is likely to be more prosaic. There is an earlier phrase, 'to find bones in', meaning to have an objection to. This refers to the unwelcome discovery of bones in soup. So, bones = bad, no bones = good.

3- شيء مخيف (أو بالعامية يقف له شعر البدن). في الحقيقة لا تحضرني ترجمة أدق لهذا المصطلح.


Origin
This is first found in Shakespeare's Hamlet, 1603:
"I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, thy knotted and combined locks to part and each particular hair to stand an end, like quills upon the fretful porpentine."

Shakespeare conjured up many images in his works; few though an have been more vivid than the mental picture of a
fretful porcupine.

The allusion of makes your hair stand on end is to the actual sensation of hairs, especially those on the neck, standing upright when the skin contracts due to cold or to fear. This is otherwise known as 'goose-flesh' and the condition is, or rather was, known by the entirely splendid word horripilation. This was defined by Thomas Blount in his equally splendidly named book Glossographia, or a dictionary interpreting such hard words as are now used, 1656:
"Horripilation, the standing up of the hair for fear... a sudden quaking, shuddering or shivering."

4- المرء لا يقتات على الطعام فقط (المرء يحتاج لغذاء للروح)

Origin
From the Bible, Deuteronomy 8: 2-3 (King James Version):
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
also in Matthew 4:4:
But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
and Luke 4:4:
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
