Abstract

The present paper examines Persian and Russian idioms and proverbs denoting “waste of time” and “futile acts”. It is obvious that idleness is accepted and approved of in neither cultures. The proverbs and idioms denoting idleness are divided into two broad categories: IDLE WORKs done with no difficulty, and IDLE WORKs that cause enormous difficulty. Some of these expressions illustrate a resemblance in the MENTALITY of people in both cultures, like “counting flies” in Russian and “shooing flies” in Persian. There are other expressions in Persian and Russian that on the surface convey the same meaning, but they have differing cultural backgrounds, such as “running like a squirrel in a wheel” in Russian and “like an assari hourse” (methl-e asb-e assari) in Persian. Some figures of Greek myths such as Sisyphus have entered Russian idioms. The poems of Iranian poets and our classic literature like “Kelil-e va Demneh” and Russian works like the fables of Krilov have had a profound impact upon the development of these proverbs and idioms.
