Review of Verbosity and Description in the Sahifeh Sajjadieh Translation according to Antoine Berman Theory (Case Study: Ansaryan's Translation)

Translation has long been considered as a way to become familiar with the customs and culture of other nations and has always had two origin-oriented and target-oriented approaches, and these two approaches each have their own advocates. Antoine Burman is one of the origin-oriented theorists of translation science, who, in his theory of "disruptive tendencies," lists thirteen cases that cause distortion in translation including “verbosity” and “explanation.” This paper intends to critique the two cases in the Persian translation of Ansariyan from Sahifeh Sajjadiyah using the descriptive-analytical method to determine the extent of the deviations in his translation based on the theory mentioned above. Hence, first, referring to Berman''s theory, this paper proceeds to criticize and investigate the issues mentioned above and, in cases where it is required provides a suggested translation.The findings of this study indicate that the verbosity in the translation of Ansarian is presented in five general categories.: respect, collocation, Arabic and Persian synonyms, non-Arabic and Persian synonyms, and other verbosities; and explanation is presented in three axes of intertextual with the Qur''an, the mention of blessings, and other explanations that most of these disrupt the textual music and its hidden briefness.
