Translation critique criteria are based on the function of translation. Sometimes this function is more hypertextual, and sometimes it deals with the discourse that produces the translated work in the target community. Examining the confrontation between the source text and the destination text can be useful in terms of language, teaching, and quantitative translation, which we call translation evaluation. Translation criticism, however, focuses on the transtemporal space of the work, its translation process, and its overall results and effects. The translator produces a product, and it is consumed in the target community, thereby producing thought and ideology. The reflection of the translator’s work goes beyond just checking for the correct or wrong translation of a word. Critical thinking should target the whole discourse and the consequences of the collective produced. In this article, we take a look at the acceptance of Christian Bobin’s works and Mahvash Qavimi’s translations of this French author’s works.

The purpose of this article is to study the question of rhythm in the Persian translations of the work of Christian Bobin, presented by Mahvash Ghavimi. In Bobin’s writings, we meet people who seek happiness, but instead of fighting problems and changing conditions, they accept life as it is. After presenting the thought that Bobin confides to his readers in a simple and fluid style, we approach the question of rhythm as it is treated in the writings of Henri Meschonnic, a French translator. According to him, every text has its own rhythm which plays a crucial role in its significance. The translator must discover the factors involved in the significance of the text and recreate them in the translated text. We are then interested in studying the translation of two books of Bobin, entitled Geai and Isabelle Bruges, to see how the translator overcame the problems of recreating the rhythm.
