Due to a time constraint, 1 decided to translate chapters 3 and 4 of this book, and I created the recommended translation based on the theoretical basis and the original version. Furthermore, this translation process exposed me to a variety of tough vocabularies, including multi-meaning terms, idioms, terminologies, and sophisticated structures, all of which are combined in the graduation paper. In addition, towards the conclusion of my graduation paper, | noticed certain obstacles and proposed some strategies for students to enhance their translation skills.

Rationale Nowadays, in modern life where technology and the Internet are becoming increasingly popular, it is an odd fact that these technologies do not make people happy, but rather make them feel lost and lonely. | realized that in real life, love is messy, frightening, and frequently so frail that it cannot vanquish even the smallest obstacles. Therefore, | have got into romance novels that celebrate love, spark hope in life, and teach us some valuable lessons. "It Happened One Summer" is such a book, which I encountered by chance while watching a book review on YouTube.
Not only does the cover look charming, but the content also makes me unable to take my eyes off it, so I chose this book to translate in my graduation paper. The first thing that I want to mention 1s the contemporary romance between the two main characters - Piper and Brendan in Westport, the fishing village where Piper was born. Two individuals with two utter dissimilar lives - a trendy city girl forced to spend her summers in a fishing village and a rugged fishing boat captain - met, attracted to each other, and then fell in love. They overcame several challenges and reached a happy ending.
Another thing that excites me equally is the transformation of Piper. During her time living in the fishing village, she went from a flighty party girl socialite to someone who understood the value of money, hard work, and what real love is. She found value in herself with the help of Brendan, her sister Hannah, and the people in the small town. In addition, the affection between Piper and Hannah is also admirable.
They genuinely care about one another, and there is never any disagreement between them regarding the decisions they make. Finally, I hope that the suggested translation will be enjoyable for Vietnamese readers who are interested in this book as well as provide everyone with an analysis of the ways for proper translating and dealing with challenging phrases and structures.

Definition In the Oxford Learner's Dictionaries, translation is defined as “the process of changing something that is written or spoken into another language”. Meanwhile, Cambridge Dictionary mentions that translation means "something that is translated, or the process of translating something, from one language to another". According to the book "A Textbook of Translation" (Newmark, 1988:5), the process of translating a message from one language to another in the manner intended by the author is known as translation.
Moreover, Catford in “A Linguistic Theory of Translation” (1965:20) defines translation as the replacement of a textual material in one language (source language) with comparable textual material in another language (target language). Besides, the book "The Theory and Practice of Translation" (Nida & Taber, 1982:12) proposes that translating was the reproduction of the closest natural equivalent of a source language message in the receptor language, first in respect of meaning and secondly in respect of style.
