Белый ворон

Белый ворон - это будет White raven?

А "rara avis" - это что? :))

и пс - как читается? Рэйвен?

Белый ворон = White raven.

"Rara avis" roughly translates in English to "rare bird" (редкая птица?)


And I think Рэйвен is close enough for pronounciation.

a lot of meanings, pick the right one for your context. Maybe "odd bird" or "odd duck" might do.

Maybe "ugly duckling," black sheep," or "queer bird" would be better "rough translations?"
