Abstract

The article discusses a translator's dilemmas in finding an adequate equivalent to Steinbeck's colorful colloquial language. The discussion focuses on the author's recent translation of Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men (O miših in ljudeh, 2007) and, in the process of illuminating her approaches to the topic and her translation choices, proposes some solutions that might prove beneficial to other translators facing the problem of how to translate spoken English into the target Slovene language and culture.
