STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
From the researcher's experience in the field of translation,
and while teaching different translation courses, he finds that
translation is not an easy task for most of the experienced
translators because of many different reasons.The researcher and other re-
searchers have noticed that the majority of Arab as well as
Saudi EFL students,who study translation courses, face such
these difficulties due to the cultural as well as the linguistic
gaps between Arabic and English (Al-Sohbani and Muth-
anna 2013; Dweik and Abu Helwah 2014; Almubark, Abd.The researcher believes that
clarifying and illustrating these reasons when translating lit-
erary works in particular helps the translator to convey the
SL text into an accurate close TL text.
