Abstract

Translation shift is one of the most controversial domains of translation studies. In the present study an attempt was
made to compare different translators’ use of shifts in a literary text. The selected theoretical framework for the present study
was Vinay and Darbelnet (1995). To achieve this aim, a contrastive analysis was done on The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and its
several Persian translations. The results of the study revealed that the translators use different types of shifts for a single
sentence. In many cases, the translators use a combination of different kinds of shift in order to transfer an appropriate
massage.
