Political Satire in J. Swift’s «Gulliver’s Travels» and its Armenian Translation

Հատված

Literary translation frequently fails to capture the overall sense of the text, in addition to being unable to capture the depth of a literary work. Translated text cannot literally match the original in a literary translation. To provide the identical information to his original speakers is the translation’s primary objective. As a native speaker, the translator actually conveys his comprehension of the original material rather than presents it. As such, literary translation is unfeasible in the absence of a thorough comprehension of the source text and inadequate proficiency in a foreign language. Translating requires a certain kind of skill—namely, the capacity to decipher wordplays and the sense of linguistic form—in order to effectively communicate artistic images.
