| Abstract: |
The task of translating idioms from English into Vietnamese and vice versa has been considered to be challenging. This research aims at investigating difficulties encountered by junior and senior English majors at University X face in translating English idioms into Vietnamese. To collect the data, 159 students participated in a translation test and a detailed questionnaire. The results show a clear gap between students' language skills and their cultural understanding. In the practical test, students really struggled with idioms that have deep cultural meanings. Most participants felt that the lack of cultural exposure and the illogical grammar of idioms are the biggest barriers. Furthermore, the fear of losing face shows that translation anxiety often forces students to choose a safe word-for-word translation instead of a natural one. It is hoped that the results of this study would contribute to the area of teaching translation. Similarly, more research on teaching translation; especially, practical ones related to methods in helping students overcome these barriers would also be conducted for the development of teaching translation. |
