أثقل من جبل  Heavier than a mountain

أبطأ من سلحفاة Slower than a turtle.

أرفع من السماء Higher than the heavens(sky).

أرق من النسيم Smoother than a breeze.

أزهى من طاووس More arrogant than a peacock.

أسبق من الأجل Faster than death(fate).

أسبق من الأفكار Faster than thoughts.

أسرع من البرق Faster than lightning.

أسرع من الريح Faster than the wind.

أسرع من سهم Faster than an arrow.

أصفى من الدمعة Purer than a tear.

أظلم من الليل Darker than the night.

أقسى من الحجر Tougher than a stone.

أقبح من قرد Uglier than a monkey.

مرت  ثلاثة  عقود  على سقوط   جدار   برلين ،  و  هي   ذكرى   يحييها  الألمان   كمحطة    تاريخية   في   تاريخ    بلادهم. سقوط   الجدار   كان   يعني   نهاية   الحرب   الباردة    و    أهم    شيء    بالنسبة    للألمان هــــــــو توحيد   بلادهم.

3 decades have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall which is an aniversery that the Germans celebrate as a historical point in their country’s history. The fall of the wall means also the end of the cold war and what is most important for the German is the unification of their country. 

PS, when it comes to translation, I always try word by word method which sucks actually..I mean it results in awkward style
