Abstract

Vinay and Darbelnet explained a basic method for studying, analyzing and critiquing in a literary entitled Comparative Stylistics of French and English: a Methodology for Translation, In 1985.The two Canadian researchers define seven different techniques, commonly used by translators consciously or unconsciously, under two generic categories: direct and indirect translation. This systematic method in classifying translation techniques is a convenient model which is used to analyze and critique different translations.

This article uses the same pattern to analyze the translation of the novel "Someone I loved" by Anna Gavalda, translated by Elham Darchinian. The authors of this analysis seek to investigate the reason and circumstances of the translation and the manner of the translator choices to be determined "How the translator make the current version of translation accessible to the audience and what is the reason for the Intellectual tendencies of the translator?"

The findings of this study indicates Elham Darchinian has mostly referred to four methods that are in the field of indirect translation, and among them, she has used Modulation with the highest frequency.

Therefore, it seems that the translator's concern was more with the Persian-speaking audience to provide a fluent, understandable, and pleasant translation, rather than with preserving the author's style and context.
