at the expense of

به خرجِ …

If the writing is solid and good, the mood and temper of the writer will eventually be revealed, and not at the expense of the work. (William Strunk, The Elements of Style)

اگر نوشتار منسجم و خوب باشد، در نهایت خلق و خوی نویسنده از ورای آن پدیدار خواهد شد، بی‌آنکه به متن اثر آسیبی برساند.

at the cost of مترادف آن است.

very good job, thanks.

Are these letters like our alphabet or more of a symbols thing like Japanese Kanji?

The Persian alphabet is the same as the Arabic alphabet (with 4 extra letters). It is written from right to left and like the Latin alphabet, each letter indicates a sound. One problem is that short vowels (a, e, o) are not usually written and this makes learning the script a little difficult. Besides, the letter are attached to each other and they change based on their position (something like lowercase and uppercase letters).

Not 'usually' written? That seems unusual. It seems that either it should be or it isn't. I suppose these writings have been around a lot longer than the Latin alphabet, so I shouldn't be comparing one to the other.

They are like accents in the Latin script, but they are only used when there is ambiguity. I think the root of both Latin and Arabic scripts is the Phoenician writing system.

That is Saudi Arabian Arabic write@ghasemkiani

Yes, the Arabic alphabet.

For example, in English, you may choose not to use the trema for naïve, or the circumflex accent for rôle.

You have better knowledge about language...... Its a good matter @ghasemkiani
