Abstract ABSTRACT Topic of PhD Dissertation An English Translation of the collection "Mariam and Good Luck" This study is an attempt to analytically translate selections from the stories of Mariam Al Saady titled “Mariam and the Good Luck” to demonstrate the best style of translation used. The current study starts with the multiple definitions of translation, transformation of individual words, sentences, and meaning from Arabic (source) to English (target) languages. During the translation it is kept in mind that translation is a science, art, and skill therefore different techniques of translations are employed including the direct and indirect translation of particular text. Also, the history of translation theories is elaborated along with the different theories adopted by different translators and scholars along the history. The current study utilizes the most important styles of translation presented by theorists such as Nida, Newmark, Catford, Vinay & Darbelnet while focusing on the seven translation procedures presented by Vinay & Darbelnet: borrowing, calque, literal translation, transposition, modulation, reformulation, and adaptation. In the practical part, researcher presented a translation of the selected parts from the various stories of ‘Mariam and the good luck’. It aims to illustrate that linguistically sound translation techniques should be avoided to produce a literal translation. The researcher considers the culture of the source and target language, which requires a broad knowledge of both the cultures yet keeping him detached from his original culture to adapt to the culture of the source language. In this way the stories of ‘Mariam and the good luck’ are treated. It is observed that the author, Mariam Al Saady detaches herself and takes a broad and critical look at the world to present a new creative and brave work of art. It is discussed in detail how culture affects language and the vice versa. It is concluded that the language is basic means of communication among the people of a community, as it determines their perception of the world and how they present themselves. I have divided this thesis into Abstract, Preface, Four chapters, Bibliography and list of contents. First Chapter: is about the Art of Translation including history, methods & types of Translation and it has three sub-chapters.
