Translation Criticism[WU1] : “The Arabic Textbook for Teaching Translation of Books and Newspaper”[1]The study and criticism of the scientific works lead to the recognition of their characteristics and disadvantages; therefore, it results in avoiding shortcomings and emphasizing on the strong points. Undoubtedly, this will cause to improve the quality of the academic textbooks when the criticism is done clearly and constructively. Accordingly, and based on the request of the Iranian Council for Reviewing Books and Text on Human Sciences, the book titled: “The Arabic Textbook for Teaching Translation of Books and Newspaper” written by Adnan Tahmasebi has been criticized. The results of this study state that this book has some advantages and some disadvantages as well which are studied in the form and content. The advantages include preface, list of content, reliable resources, appropriate equivalences for some political and sport expressions, accuracy and fluency of the translation except in some cases which are discussed in detail. The lack of careful subject division, the shortage of suitable practices, none of notation, typing mistakes, hastiness, and lack of edition are the disadvantages of this book which result in many deficiencies in non-compatibility of the Persian Translation with the Arabic text. Finally, some suggestions are presented for the improvement of this work.[1] “Derâsat manhajiyye fi tarjomate al-sohof wa al-majallât”
