أمّا الذين أبوا تغيير رواياتهم بروایات مصرية وأصرّوا بعناد ساذج غبي على تمثيل رواياتهم المترجمة البعيدة عن ذوقنا المضادّة لمزاجنا 
ʔammā ’llaḏīna ʔabaw taġyīr riwāyāti-him bi-riwāyāt miṣriyyaẗ wa-ʔaṣarrū bi-ʕinād sāḏiǧ ġabiyy ʕalà tamṯīl riwāyāti-him al-mutarǧamaẗ al-baʕīdaẗ ʕan ḏawqi-nā al-muḍāddaẗ li-mazāǧi-nā 
[But not all of them did so.] Those, however, who refused to replace the [foreign] pieces with Egyptian ones and insisted, in stupid and naive stubbornness, [to continue] to stage foreign pieces, far removed from our taste, opposed to our mentality,1  
AR: taġyīr, riwāyaẗ, miṣrī (Miṣr / Miṣriyyaẗ), ʔiṣrār, ʕinād, sāḏiǧ (saḏāǧaẗ), ġabiyy (ġabāʔ), tamṯīl, tarǧamaẗ, ḏawq, mazāǧ
EN: our taste, our mentality 
اضطرّوا - رغماً عنهم - إمّا أنْ يهاجروا من مصر أو يهجروا المرسح 
uḍṭurrū – raġman ʕan-hum – ʔimmā ʔan yuhāǧirū min Miṣr ʔaw yahǧurū ’l-marsaḥ 
were either forced to emigrate from Egypt, against their will, or to leave the stage, 
AR: hāǧara (hiǧraẗ), Miṣr, marsaḥ
EN: … 
كما وقع لقطبين من أقطاب المرسح ونوابغ الفنّ ، 
ka-mā waqaʕa li-quṭbayni min ʔaqṭāb al-marsaḥ wa-nawābiġ al-fann, 
as happened with two big pillars of the theatre scene and geniuses of art. 
AR: marsaḥ, fann
EN: … 
وهما إذا حدّثتْهما نفسُهما في المستقبل إلى الرجوع إلى التمثيل في مصر فلا يمكنهما إلا على قاعدة تمثيل الروايات العصرية المصرية . 
wa-humā ʔiḏā ḥaddaṯat-humā nafsu-humā fī ’l-mustaqbal ʔilà ’l-ruǧūʕ ʔilà ’l-tamṯīl fī Miṣr fa-lā yumkinu-humā ʔillā ʕalà qāʕidaẗ tamṯīl al-riwāyāt al-ʕaṣriyyaẗ al-miṣriyyaẗ. 
If these two should decide, some day in the future, to return to theatre-making in Egypt, they will be able to do so only on the condition that they stage contemporary Egyptian plots. 
AR: nafs, mustaqbal, tamṯīl, Miṣr, qāʕidaẗ (qawāʕid), riwāyaẗ, ʕaṣrī (ʕaṣriyyaẗ), miṣrī (Miṣr / Miṣriyyaẗ)
EN: … 
فَلْيفهما هذه الحقيقة التي تعبنا لإفهامهما إياها ؟ 
fa-l-yafhamā hāḏihī ’l-ḥaqīqaẗ allatī taʕibnā li-ʔifhāmi-himā ʔiyyā-hā? 
So, will they possibly acknowledge this truth that we have worked so hard to make them understand? 
AR: ḥaqīqaẗ
EN: … 
ويحزننا أنْ نقول إنّ الأدب العصري المصري في وقتنا الحاضر غير مستقلّ ولا موسوم بطابع شخصيتنا ، 
wa-yuḥzinu-nā ʔan naqūla ʔinna ’l-ʔadab al-ʕaṣrī al-miṣrī fī waqti-nā ’l-ḥāḍir ġayr mustaqill wa-lā mawsūm bi-ṭābiʕ šaḫṣiyyati-nā, 
It makes us sad to say that contemporary Egyptian literature is neither independent nor bears the traits of our [national] character these days. 
AR: ʔadab, ʕaṣrī (ʕaṣriyyaẗ, muʕāṣaraẗ), miṣrī (Miṣr / Miṣriyyaẗ), mustaqill (istiqlāl), ṭābiʕ, šaḫṣiyyaẗ
EN: national, character
