Abstract:
Cultural differences between different societies and different attitudes towards the world not only cause differences in custom and habits, but also affect the lexical and grammatical structure of the language. This issue is addressed in modern linguistics as linguistic relativity, and is interpreted as the Sapir-Worf Theory. The topic of translation is one of the topics that can be discussed in the context of linguistic relativity. The translator must take into account lexical or grammatical differences in order to harmonize his translation with the target language. Because ignoring these differences in both the source and target languages may cause ambiguity or even errors in translation. In this paper, the writers have examined the relevance of linguistic relativity in translating the novel Al-Shahaz (The Beggar) by Naguib Mahfouz into two themes of division of day and night and gender. The examples presented show that the translation of Mohammad Dehghani, despite all the aesthetics and delicacies, contains sentences that the translator has not considered linguistic relativism in the division of day and night and gender structure, and that the translation ultimately contains ambiguous expressions, and it is not even without errors.
