English bridge:
"Don't trust everything you see, for not everything that shines is gold"

Thank you elmota, when it will be translated, it is going to be very easy to evaluate with this bridge-translation.

Hi Elmota (again!!)

Maybe

"Don't trust... see, for all that glitters is not gold"

"all that glitters is not gold" is a citation from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice". The original was "all that glistens is not gold" and the modern translation uses "glitters" rather than "glistens"

well if u want to translate by meaning, but the original says dont trust everything you see, as for the second part, i think they both give the same meaning, the Arabic one is a proverb on its own (our own shakespear El Sheikh Sbear)
hey tantine you have been away for a while that is a bridge, you're supposed to translate into french now
