Problems of translation “Days Gone By” by Abdulla Kadiri

Abstract

This article deals with the problems of translation and equivalency, especially with cultural words, which present national customs and traditions. Cultural terms usually present fewer problems. In this article, great attention is paid to the national-cultural specificity of translation of Uzbek classical literature into English. Interpretation from the mother tongue into a foreign language must comply with terminological and pronunciation norms of the target language to such a degree that the ideas, intentions and factual information contained in the original speech and the attitude of the speaker to them are passed on in such a way that communication is not impaired nor misunderstandings caused. Roman Abdulla Qadiri, “Days Gone By,” reveals a wide range of universal human themes and problems. Therefore, it is very difficult to define it unambiguously. Nevertheless, it can be argued that having laid the foundation of the work as a beautiful love story, the author was able to touch upon the complex problem of the confrontation between God and the devil, light, and darkness in the destinies of mankind.
