Vocabulary critique is one of the critiques used to evaluate translations of various texts. Garces' (1994) theory is one of the most comprehensive models presented in this type of critique, which radically evaluates the quality of translation and is based on the principle of equality between the source and destination text at four levels: semantic-lexical, syntactic-explicit, discourse-role, and style-cognitive purpose. This research intends to evaluate and critique the lexical choices of Mohaddith Dehlavi's translation of Fotuh al-Ghayb based on the semantic-lexical level of Garces' model by a descriptive-analytical method. For this purpose, after a brief introduction of Mohaddith Dehlavi and his translation, Garces' theory is briefly explained, and then the applicable cases of this theory are mentioned in detail in separate titles on the examples taken from the book. The findings of this study show that the terms of Dehlavi's translation can be evaluated and criticized from the perspective of the components of Garces' theory. In addition to being interpretive, this translation contains many instances of equivalence and similarity, lexical expansion, and ambiguity.

One of the difficulties for translators is facing with the same words and their application in language.Translator uses them interchangeably only under the pretext of semantic similarity between words. The usersentence does not have the correct meaning, because of the hidden differences in their underlying meaning. Accordingly, choice of equal and suitable words is the biggest challenge for translator beside acquaintance of translator with the language and culture of other nations and it is his skills.On the other hand, sentence meaning in a dramatic narrative text is including: A set of logical meanings of sentence forming elementsand the meaning ofspeech is the sense that every sentence is allocated to its according to the purpose of the speaker of expression that sentence. Because the roles and dialogue changes with regard to persons and positions in sentence and text, the translator must see what equality is more suitable for desired. Interpretation in the form of the chosen expression or structure for translation of the sentence (Arabic) in Persian language. In this article, we review examples of translation of the narrative and dramatic textsbased on the finding of lexical equals and we search lexical differences (including: Referential, Experimental, Semantic units, Conference, Implied, and Polysemy) and verbal (including: meaning of the words and meaning of the sentence). Finally, we suggest our translation for any of the dramatic and storied sentences. The results show that there are different ways for finding of equivalent that in the meantime, dynamic finding equal is more impressive.
