In the course of scrutiny of expressions, the study confirms the validity of the view that litery translatin is culturally dictated activity, and thereby charged with agendas that may be conscious or unconscious. In illustrating, how, as a non-Western on 'minor-culture' text, Salina is subjected to the Western or 'major-culture' norms prevailing upon of the Western translator; the study advocates that maintaining the hierarchy of author-over-translator facilitates the successful transmission of culture-specific meanings in original expressions.
