Equivalence in the Vietnamese Translation of John Green's the Fault in Our Stars

Equivalence, one of the most important procedures, has become a central issue in Translation Studies. This study compares the John Green's the novel The Fault in Our Stars and the Vietnamese translation by Huy Hoang Nguyen to find out the types of equivalence. From an objective and subjective point of view, there is no unique type of equivalence in the Vietnamese Translation; it is a mixture because of the orientation of choosing the translator's equivalences by the influence of cultural, linguistic differences, and the translator's ability. Along with that, the study investigates the domestication and foreignization in achieving equivalence in Vietnamese version of the novel.
