Under the core guideline of creating a reading response that is the same on both sides of the native and target readers, Eugene A. Nida puts his translation theory in form of functional equivalence. Thus translation becomes a task of reproduction of providing in the target language the closest version that is natural and idiomatic in style, context and semantics. Due to various reasons, creative translations can be made to fulfill that purpose. The second thought and the thorough manipulation of words and expressions help bridge the discrepancy in comprehending the source language and the translated one, whose requirements literal and traditional ways of handling translation may fail to meet.
