| Abstract | ||
| Possessing more than one meaning like, وَسَطً, أَخْذُ and أَبُ which are samples of the Multi-Meaning Words that necessitate radical alterations in translation. To keep pace with the fluency of the original text and close voids between the English and Arabic languages, translating these particular words require mastering the two languages and having profound knowledge of the various meaning of the present words especially in Arabic. The current study focuses on the importance of the cultural knowledge in order not to deprive the aesthetic function of the translated texts. It also sheds light on the style of translating the words: وَسَطً, أَخْذُ and أَبُ culturally. | ||
