'Οπου φτωχός κι η μοίρα του Poor in money, but rich in trouble Explanation: Απλή ιδέα για ton εμπλουτισμό του προβληματισμού. „Poor in money, but/and rich in X” (όπου Χ = time, love, happiness κ.ο.κ.) συνηθίζεται πολύ και rich in trouble(s) επίσης. Η μόνη γλώσσα στην οποία γνωρίζω παρόμοια παροιμία είναι τα Ουγγρικά και ο/η flipendo έχει δίκιο ότι η παροιμία αναφέρεται μάλλον στην ατυχία (και στα Ουγγρικά, όπου λέμε «τον φτωχό τον τραβάνε ως και τα κλαριά»). Η ελληνική παροιμία παρουσιάζει ενδιαφέρον, διότι στις γλώσσες της Κεντρικής και Δυτικής Ευρώπης «φτωχός» έχει 2 υποσημασίες που δεν έχει στα Ελληνικά (αν εξαιρέσουμε κλισέ του 19ου αι. όπως «πτωχός διάβολος» που μυρίζουν μεταφρασίλα): [1] καημένος (αναξιοπαθών) [2] μακαρίτης (μεταστάς) Η παροιμία αυτή αποτελεί εξαίρεση. ...
