English term

salted

English to Arabic Other Poetry & Literature
She thought of a horse he had bought once. That must have been twenty years ago. Like all horses said to be salted, it had died of horse sickness. She had told him it wasn't salted. Anyone could see it was not salted. A salted horse had a look. You couldn't explain it. You just knew the look it had.

Atef...can you kindly provide us with more text...
Lamis Maalouf Dec 30, 2009:
Was it salted? Yes, I should not have said that this particular horse was salted, nevertheless the meaning of the word "salted" is given as a positive one. Salted horses die of sickness. The explanation of that is mentioned in my answer below.
Zeinab Asfour Dec 30, 2009:
Here, the speaker is denying that the horse is salted, which means that the word salted has a negative connotation...

" She had told him it wasn't salted"

يبدو وصف الحصان إيجابياً في السياق، فقد مات بالتأكيد بسبب المرض بينما تموت الأحصنة غير الممرّسة عادة في حوادث بسبب وقوعها أو كسر فيها ومن المعروف أن كسر الحصان يؤدي إلى موته كما في المرجع التالي

تضاف كميات من الملح لطعامه

من المعروف لدى مربي الخيول مدى حاجة هذه المخلوقات للملح للتعويض عن نسبة الأملاح التي تفقدها خلال عملية التعرق وللحفاظ على صحة جيدة

معالج بالملح

He was what is called a salted horse that is to say; he had survived the horse-sickness....
I think you have to paraphrase the concept here...it is a horse that had been treated with salt. I am not sure about my suggestion, however, it should be a long this line of explanation
Peer comment(s):

neutral Lamis Maalouf : ألا ترى تناقضاً في النص إذا ما استخدمنا هذه الترجمة، لقد مات الحصان مثل كل الأحصنة "المعالجة بالملح" بسبب المرض؟ إن كانت كل الأحصنة التي "تعالج بالملح" تموت بسبب المرض فلمّ هذا الإجراء؟
