الملخص






This study discusses the difficulties in rephrasing Arabic and cultivation- related expressions into English, especially those deduced from myth. It shows that nonfictional restatement frequently fails to convey meaning successfully, egging translators to exercise other  styles,  similar as dynamic  parity, artistic negotiation or  restating; Through the study of  special  exemplifications, it shows that the  liberty of  styles depends on the  ground and purpose of  restatement, and the translator's understanding of  cultivation is the  crucial  procurator for the success of  restatement. This study suggests that the training of translators should be strengthened by raising artistic mindfulness and establishing bilingual sources for delegates, which is helpful to restatement or restatement
