COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ORIGINAL AND TRANSLATIONS IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT SCHOOL (BASED ON THE NOVEL "WE" BY E. I. ZAMYATIN AND ITS ENGLISH VERSIONS)
The article deals with the comparative analysis of the original and translations in the process of teaching a foreign language at school. The comparative analysis is based on the material of E.I. Zamyatin's novel “We” and its English versions made by translators Gregory Zilboorg, Mirra Ginsburg , Clarence Brown, Linda S. Farne, Natasha Randall. The novel “We” is studied in the 11th form during literature lessons. The relevance of the topic is connected with the need to use comparative analysis in foreign language education. The purpose of the study is to do a comparative analysis of the excerpt from the novel “We” by E. I. Zamyatin and its translations into English. The results of the work show that it is important to use comparative analysis during foreign language lessons. In the process of comparing the original and translations students learn to analyze and compare language constructions, understand grammar rules. Comparative analysis helps to identify and understand the lexical and grammatical units, syntactic structures that make up the original and translation, as well as to understand the transformations made by different translators in the translation process. Comparative analysis helps to express thoughts in a foreign language consciously and correctly. Comparative analysis develops attention, thinking, memory, the ability to see complex structures of a foreign language, expands vocabulary, develops analytical skills, fixes translation techniques in memory, and promotes better learning of educational material.
