Abstract:

Sven Birkerts (1951-) is an American essayist. His essay The Strange Days is well received by readers. In the context of globalization, literary translation is an important part of cultural exchanges. The Skopos Theory is the theory that applies the Skopos concept to translation. The core concept of Skopos Theory is that translation strategies and methods are determined by the purpose of translation. In the process of translation, the translator should follow three principles, namely, skopos rule, coherence rule and fidelity rule. The translation of literary texts coincides with the idea of Sk

Abstract:

This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the application of the Skopos Theory of translation to Abdullah Al Faisal's poetic work, "Revolution of Doubt." The Skopos Theory, developed by Vermeer, emphasizes the importance of the translator's purpose or intention (skopos) in guiding the translation process. By considering the skopos as the driving force behind translation, this theory highlights the need to adapt and shape the target text to meet the specific communicative purpose in the target culture. The study examines the fidelity, coherence, and skopos rules of the Skopos Theory in relati

Based on the cognitive theory of metaphor (Lakoff and Johnson 1980, 1999; Lakoff 1987; Johnson 1987; Lakoff 1993), the analysis led to the identification of two conceptual metaphors that played a crucial role in the articulation of German functionalism: the TRANSFER metaphor and the TARGET metaphor.

Abstract:

Faithfulness and equivalence are two issues that gained the attention of many scholars in the translation field. It has always been presumed that a faithful translation is the one that could achieve equivalence at its maximum level. However, one theory of translation, namely, the Skopos theory, suggests that the aim or Skopos of a translation should be the target of a translator. Adopting such a theory, equivalence does not mean sameness; it rather means achieving the least dissimilarness. In relation to this, a translation of the Holy Quran is supposed to target conveying the primary meaning

Therefore, the current research aimed to facilitate the intracultural translation of Chinese cultural texts originally written in English back into Chinese by examining practical examples from the aforementioned translation.
