الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aims to probe into the metaphors used by King Abdullah II in his political speeches from three perspectives: the purposes of using them, the translation strategies adopted by MA students for translating them, and the problems encountered by MA students in translating them.

The sample of the study consists of 22 MA students who are enrolled in English language majors, selected randomly from two Jordanian universities; namely, the university of Jordan and Middle East University.

To collect the required data, a translation test that includes 9 items is designed, and open-ended interviews are conducted.

The sampled students are asked to translate the metaphors included in the test, so that the problems encountered could be found out, then three specialists in translation are interviewed to reach a conclusion about the purposes of using the metaphors included in the test and the appropriate strategies for translating them.

The results of the study indicate that the purposes of using metaphors included in King Abdullah II political speeches are determined in accordance with the type of metaphors and the contexts where they are set.

They also indicate that MA students heavily adopt free translation technique, in addition to word-for-word translation paraphrasing and deletion regardless of the fact that these strategies are sometimes used where unnecessary or inappropriately.

Finally, the results show that the problems encountered by MA students in translating metaphors included in King Abdullah II political speeches are the incapability of determining the appropriate translation strategies, the misunderstanding of the speaker's intention and context, lack of culture, the incapability of conveying the sense and flavor of emotiveness in metaphors, the failure of choosing the right connotation of certain words, and the incapability of dealing with figurative language.
