Sorry again; insert في after يروق. Note also that it\'s كدّر . It\'s a water metaphor: what is clear in the eye of the European may be cloudy/muddy the life of a Turk. Maybe better to stick with a single metaphor: الرائق في عين الافرنج قد يكون بمثابة الكادر/العاكر في عين الترك (using active participles).
Alternate metaphor: ما يحلو للاوروبي قد يمُرّ للتركي. \"What is sweet to [i.e. pleasant] to the European may be bitter to the Turk.\"
