One of the models proposed for the realization of a clear and prominent translation, especially in the field of translation studies, is the model of Lawrence Venuti (1995). He first deals with how to convey the message in a clear and unambiguous framework in exceptional circumstances by introducing components called de-familiarization and alienation and then simplifies complex concepts by considering the cultural-historical and structural relations between the two languages. At this stage, the translator applies the simplification process in the translation text by relying on logic and reasoning through factors such as modification, interpretation, sharing, and finally transfer. In a more general sense, simplification means breaking long sentences or phrases, substituting short sentences for them, and reducing repetitive phrases. Relying on a descriptive-analytical method, the present study intends to analyze the two translations of Mehdi Sarhadi and Musa Aswar from the novel of Isa Ibn Al-Ansan in order to achieve the reflection of the mentioned pattern in the studied translations and introduce more accurate and acceptable translations. The result of the research indicates that Lawrence Venuti’s theory is consistent with all components (defamiliarization, alienation, grammatical syntactic defamiliarization, semantic defamiliarization), and the translation of Musa Aswar in the field of de-familiarization and Mehdi Sarhadi in the field of alienation have the most reflection.
