Journal Title: Записки з ономастики - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 17

Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of the different translations of A. P. Tchekhov’s short story «The Lady with the Dog» into English. It’s been attempted to outline the key distinctive features which make evident the variability of Tchekhov’s world view interpretations, resulting in the construction of individual senses. All the translations under analysis have been performed by English philologists who specialized in studying Tchekhov’s works on the ground of C. Garnett’s translation. Nevertheless, the translations are distinguished by essential differentiation in content and expression planes. Typological peculiarities of the source and target languages have been taken into account in the process of investigation. One of the important conclusions drawn is that the type and occurrence of translator’s strategies and means of their realization depend on the depth of the translator’s penetration into the author’s culture and literary world.
