Translation is the most original type of thought, which is the agent of transferring a culture from one place to another, in fact, it is a kind of complement to domestic production. Considering its hermetic nature, it always plays a significant role in the production of new ideas. Comparing the structure of different languages helps linguistic studies in a way, from the heart of these comparisons, we somehow get to the structural differences and characteristics of various languages. Gibran Khalil Gibran is a Lebanese-American writer. The novel "Prophet" is one of his most famous works, which has been translated into Arabic and Persian, its key concepts are happiness, sadness, love, work, pleasure, and religion. The present research has compared the Persian and Arabic translations of the novel against the original text of the novel, which is in English, by referring to the descriptive-analytical approach and providing various examples of various linguistic structures, so that various types of different structures of the three languages have been discovered from it, and by comparing the translations, the differences and the distinction between their syntactic and lexical structure were clearly revealed. On the other hand, the evaluation rate of the Arabic and Persian translations of the novel has been investigated based on the model of Carmen Garces. One of the most important results of the discussion is that sometimes the Persian translator, based on his own literary spirit, has created changes in the structures and compositions of the novel, which are somehow mixed with his feelings and literary nature, and this is the mode of expression that has given in the Persian translation of the novel additional interpretative emotions. It has given a double interpretation, while the Arabic translation of the novel shows signs of copying and apparent adaptation of the original text.

In order to improve the quality of translation, theorists have provided many models, each of which shows the acceptability of literary works in the target language. By evaluating the translation in the form of a pattern, the positive and negative features of the translation show themselves, and this indicates the adequacy and acceptability of a translation. In this research, an attempt has been made to evaluate and criticize the translation of the novel "Tashari" written by Anam Kajaji under the title "My Pieces" by the efforts of Karim Pour Zubeid based on the model suggested by Garces. Garcés's model is one of the most basic theories in the field of linguistics, the main purpose of which is to determine the qualitative level of translations. Garcés analyzes four levels to evaluate translation, each of which is formed by subcategories. The most important findings of this research, which have been written by descriptive-analytical and statistical methods, indicate that: Poor Zubeid did not rely on the source language and even in some cases disrupted the main concepts of the story. It also has the highest case density at the (stylistic-scientific) level, and since the subsets of this level are included in the form of negative features, it can be said that this translation does not have the necessary adequacy and acceptability.
