Abstract

Abstract 
This  article  examines  the  dichotomy  between  domesticating  and  foreignizing 
strategies in literary translation. Drawing on Lawrence Venuti’s theories, the paper 
analyzes  how  translators  navigate  the  "cultural  gap"  when  transferring  idiomatic 
expressions from a source language (SL) to a target language (TL). It argues that while 
domestication aids readability, foreignization is essential for maintaining the cultural 
"otherness" of the text.
