ABSTRACT

Needless to say, people today can approach innumerable foreign literature works through their translations; however, the questions regarding the quality of a good translation still triggers ongoing debates With the deep concerns about the issue, the researcher conducts a study entitled: “A Vietnamese-English translation quality assessment on the Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald.”

This study firstly aims at reviewing different models for translation quality assessment all over the world and indicating the comprehensive model for assessing the translation of literary works, which is the model proposed by House (1997) Secondly, based on the model proposed by House (1997), the study assesses the translation quality of “The Great Gatsby” – an American masterpiece translated into

a host of different languages including Vietnam

The major methods adopted throughout the study include both qualitative and quantitative approaches, which enables the researcher to figure out the similarities and differences between the source text and the translation The findings reveal a number of mismatches in comparison with the source text On the basis of such findings, implications for literary translations are drawn out Hopefully, the study proves beneficial to translators and researchers who share the same topic interest
