Abstract AR
إن ترجمة الخطابات السياسية إلى اللغة العربية يمكن أن تشكل تحديا بسبب اختلاف الأنظمة التي تحكم كل من المجتمعات التي تحكم المجتمعات العربية و الإنكليزية أيديولوجيا و ثقافيا و مواقفيا.
و إن هذا الاختلاف يتطلب وجود عدة إجراءات أو معايير لقبول حكم مثل هذه المجتمعات.
لذلك ما قد يكون في بعض الأحيان مفهوما و مقبولا بالنسبة للجهور الذي يتحدث الإنكليزية مرفوضا تماما لدى المتحدثين في اللغة العربية.
إن الهدف من هذه الورقة البحثية هو لتسليط الضوء على ترجمة الخطابات السياسية و بالتحديد خطابات الرئيس الأمريكي السابق جورج بوش في حربه ضد العراق عام 2003.
سوف نستعرض في هذا البحث مقطفات مختارة من خطاباته و بعدها نقوم بتحليلها بناءا على نظرية التخمين لمارتن و لويس (2003: 19).
و سوف نقوم باقتراح ترجمة ملائمة إلى اللغة العربية عند الحاجة.
إضافة الى ذلك.
ستحاول هذه الورقة البحثية تقديم حلول مناسبة للمشاكل التي قد تواجه المترجم في ترجمة الخطابات السياسية.
Abstract EN
The Translation of political speeches into Arabic can be considered as challenging task due to the difference of ideological, cultural, and attitudinal systems that govern English and Arabic speaking communities.
This difference necessitates having many procedures or standards of acceptability to govern each society.
Hence, what might be acceptable and pragmatically understandable and interpretable to English readers might be wholly rejected by Arab ones.
The aim of this paper is to focus on the translation of political speeches particularly the speeches of the former president of the United States George W.
Bush in his war against Iraq back in 2003.
We will review selected excerpts of his speeches; then, an analysis will be introduced via applying “Appraisal Theory” Martin and Rose (2003: 19).
A suggested translation will be given from English into Arabic when needed.
In addition, the paper will suggest a strategy for possible solutions of the problems that may face translators of political speeches.
This paper is hoped to represent a modest contribution in the field of translation in order to help the translators in general and students of translation in particular to recognize any possible areas of ideological, cultural and cognitive gaps that may be raised between S.
L.
and T.
L.
communities which may distort the communicated message and render it unacceptable.
Moreover, the paper will suggest some workable strategies as we will see below to bridge these gaps and to overcome such possible problems that may intervene in translation in general and translating political speeches in particular.
