This study aimed to assess the quality of English translations of Imam Khamenei’s (D. Ẓ. A.) letters addressing the youth in the West based on House’s revised (1997) model of translation quality assessment. Such texts are considered political and/ or religious, and their translations require meticulous quality assessment. Yet, rarely did the researchers find any study addressing this important area of translation. Therefore, the current study, which employed a qualitative type of research, focused on the translation of such type of texts. The assessment revealed dimensional mismatches between the original and the translated versions in the areas of field, tenor, and mode. The findings of the current study can help improve the quality of the translation of the speech.

فرهنگ جنبه ای جدانشدنی از حیات هر جامعه و هر تمدن انسانی است و حین ترجمه یک اثر، تنها نمی توان از زبان مبدأ به زبان مقصد رسید بلکه گذر از فرهنگ مبدأ به فرهنگ مقصد نیز الزامی است. مشکل نمایاندن فرهنگ مبدأ هنگامی جد ی تر می شود که دو فرهنگ مبدأ و مقصد با هم متفاوتند یا حتی در تقابل با یکدیگر قرار دارند. بنابراین عملی که در یک فرهنگ کاملاً پذیرفته شده است در فرهنگ دیگر تابو (جزء امور نهی شده) محسوب می شود. با انتخاب دوبلاژ به عنوان یکی ازگونه های ترجمه ی سمعی بصری، قصد داریم تا راهبردهای اتخاذ شده در ترجمه ی مراجع فرهنگی در فیلم ژرمینال را که ساخته ی کلود بری در سال 1993 است، با توجه به نقش سفارش دهنده ی ترجمه و مخاطب اثر بررسی کنیم. شیوه هایی چون ""معادل گزینی"" ""اقتباس"" ""تعمیم"" و حتی ""وامگیری"" در ترجمه مولفه های فرهنگی در این فیلم به کار رفته اند.

The learners’ identity is one of the most important key elements of learning to motivate learners to learn English. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the male and female EFL learners’ motivation and their identity with a focus on gender. The study had a descriptive correlational design. The participants of this study were 50 Iranian male and 50 female postgraduate English majors, aged between 23 and 41, who were selected through convenient sampling. Three questionnaires of motivation, hardiness, and perfectionism were distributed among the participants. The results of Pearson correlation analyses demonstrated that there was not a significant relationship between EFL learners’ motivation and their hardiness in both genders. Also, the results showed no significant relationship between EFL learners’ motivation and their perfectionism in the two groups. Moreover, the results of independent-sample t-tests failed to find any significant difference between male and female students’ motivation and their hardiness and perfectionism.
