Abstract

The study provides a comparative analysis of six translations into the Belarusian language of Pushkin’s poem «Prisoner». The method of structural-semantic grid is used. The transformation of the system of key images in translations is revealed. It is connected with the experience of personal experiences of poets-translators, with the lack of accurate lexical correspondences in two languages, with the lack of church slavism in the Belarusian language, with the formation of metaphorical gaps.
