(1) Study the text and make as many observations as you can. List the observations in the space provided. Be sure that you understand the meanings of all the words. Do background study and word studies as needed to understand each term.

One of methods that very interesting is that words just transformed their meanings completely for no reason. He gives an example whereby the meaning for the word had entirely changed in their meaning: counterfeit and brave. Counterfeit now means a fake copy of a genuine good, such as fake money, but in the past it meant a legitimate copy.

“There is no shame in this, Mariam,” he said, slurring a little. “It’s what married people do. Its what the Prophet himself and his wives did. There is no shame”(Hosseini, 70).

| By using words or phrases that the most people understand rather than jargon. Getting an interpreter or carers that speak the same language. Using flash cards that indicate a phrase so that they may be understood. Keeping language simple and avoid using idioms.

In this paper, I will list the findings of previous studies based on Leppihahalm's strategies and compare it to see which is the better strategy used, in addition to my own analysis of allusions in Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451 and it's translation into Arabic by Saaid Al-Adom.

In Khaled Hosseini’s novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, women live in an oppressive, discriminatory Afghan society in which they are deemed useless and obtain little to no rights, yet still manage to endure the burden that falls upon them. After the immensely false interpretations of her father and the bitter fatality of her mother, Mariam’s father demands she marries a stranger considerably older than her at the age of fifteen. Rasheed prays daily in hopes for Laila to produce a male offspring and is exceedingly unappreciative and disrespectful when Laila produces a female instead. Rasheed and the Taliban claim it is extremely blasphemous and embarrassing for a married Afghan woman to look directly into a man’s eyes, wear makeup, or display her knees so Rasheed asserts Mariam and Laila wear burqas. Women’s diminished rights and limited input in society is evident when youthful Mariam unwillingly marries an outright stranger because her father and wives demands she do so.

The author provides a study on translation of malapropism. Malapropism refers to the comic misuse of language. This technique is used in many works and a satisfactory effect is achieved. With this in mind many scholars become interested in this figure of speech. Translators’ task should be to reproduce or create an acceptable translation in TL which has a similar effect of ST. As a result, how to retain the rhetorical effect of the malapropism in the target text becomes a problem for the translator. In this respect the novel, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", and its two translations, by Daryabandari and Pirnazar have been chosen. The author selects some examples of malapropism from the novel and their translations. The strategies which

I took note of what each paragraph talked about and the most important information in each, which helped me make sense of what I was reading. Highlighting key words within the text helped me tell the main idea that he was trying to get

This is one way that that can happen. Other words vary in meaning from region to region, or are only recognized in certain regions. Sometimes an individual can make a mistake when interpreting a word that does have an accepted definition. For example, in a Ball State linguistics class, the professor was explaining this point with a story about a student in her class a few years before who had admitted he only recently had learned that ‘approximately’ was not a synonym of ‘exactly.’ When she said this, the girl two seats to my right exclaimed “Wait- then what does it mean?” Misconceptions, misinterpretations, and mispronunciations are all common in language, and can make a serious difference in how people respond to

It is Newspeak dictionary. The Party reduce the words to make people ignorant. Thus people have limited words to express their

Most of the translating took place in Baghdad, which was known as the ‘City of Learning’ (239). At the time of the translation movement, Baghdad was a new city that drew in people from all over the world in hope to make their fortunes in the empire. With all the diversity of people coming to Bagdad, a lot of money came as well (241). The money that the immigrants brought, served as an essential component to the translation movement, because this meant that the empire

Liuzza begins his article by telling the reader that when a person translates a novel, all their shortcomings and biases are put on public display. What gave him the most anxiety while translating, however, was the “vague thing usually called tone”.

Nazir has kindly volunteered for this piece of work. He is a native of Syria who was born in the capital Damascus. His mother tongue is Arabic and he is studying English at South Thames College on the Upper Intermediate level. He currently performs in the top half of the class according to his own assessment with which I tend to concur.

In this essay I will discuss and comment on Mona Baker’s statement through Skopos theory, one of the most well-known translation theories, and its applications in deferent text types and genera. ( relationship between theory and practice) find out how the translator’s theoretical knowledge is needed in translation field.
