The Application of House’s Model of TQA on Yunesi’s and Akhavan’s Persian Translations of Dickens’s The Great Expectations

The existence of weak translations is a strong reason to investigate the quality of Persian translations. The best way of analysing and comparing a literary original text with its translated texts is House’s model of TQA. This study aims to show the quality of Yunesi’s and Akhavan’s Persian translations of Dickens’s Great Expectations. Based on this study overt or covert translation and the implications of cultural filters were determined; also the most appropriate translated text according to House’s model of TQA was found. The findings were clearly shown that Yunesi’s translation was overt translation and more appropriate than Akhavan’s translation which was covertly translated.
