ADEQUATE AND EQUIVALENT TRANSLATION

difference 
two aspects of translation by A. Shveitser
translation as result (equivalence)
translation as process ( Adequacy)
**Equivalent translation** is the translation providing the semantic
identity of the target and source texts.
**Adequate translation** is good translation, as it provides
communication in full
three types of regular correlations to achieve translation adequacy:
**analogs**
( several words to express the same meaning)
soldier – солдат, рядовой, военнослужащий, военный.

**equivalents**
(regular translation forms
not depending
upon the context)
hydrogen – водород
the Pacific Ocean – Тихий океан
**transformations**
(adequate substitutions)
She cooks a hot meal in the evening. – На ужин она всегда готовит
горячее
