چکیده مقاله
This paper explores the challenges of translating puns from linguistic and cultural perspectives Due to their reliance on linguistic complexities and dual meanings, puns are difficult to convey accurately in another language The primary aim of this study is to identify the difficulties in translating puns and propose effective strategies to preserve linguistic and cultural features during the translation process The research utilizes various theoretical frameworks, including Relevance Theory and cultural linguistic approaches, analyzing textual data and examples of puns in different languages Findings reveal that puns, such as homophony in English or tonal variation in Chinese, complicate the translation process In many cases, additional explanations or cultural adaptation are necessary Strategies like pun to pun translation, pun removal, and replacing puns with rhetorical devices are proposed Successful translation of puns requires a combination of linguistic expertise, cultural sensitivity, and creativity This study emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural concepts and employing innovative methods to enhance cross cultural communication
