Modernisation of history: the problems of translation

Abstract

The present paper deals with the main
problems, connected with the linguo-stylistic features
of the so called modernized literary texts and
their translation. Two peculiarities of them are established:
the using of words representing the culture of
Ancient Rome from one hand and the modern lexical
units from the other. This moment defines different
possible methods of translation: 1) the so called
modernizing equivalency (the using of anachronism
in both languages); 2)the rendering of anachronism
in original text with either neutral or the word,
proper to the Roman culture; 3) the using of anachronism
in translation when it absent in original text.
