Book synopsis

...that translation in Vietnam is absolutely a great transformer of culture and a fertilizer of Vietnamese literature. The case study Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has pointed out that present problems of translation in Vietnam are the shortage of criticism which consequently produces many poor quality translations called 'disasters', and of classic books for high education and research. Within deep analysis into the sematic features of the Vietnamese translation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in comparison to its Shakespeare's English, the thesis has concluded that this translation, which has been used popularly in schools over fifty years, is an unclear translation and no longer suitable for present audiences. It is, therefore, encouraged to re-translate the text. The thesis besides providing a whole picture of translation in Vietnam and insights into the practice of translating Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet into Vietnamese, is a valuable source for Vietnamese translation scholars to indicate strategies for the development of translation in Vietnam, and for Vietnamese translators to re-translate not only other plays of Shakespeare but also classical works of the world.
