Abstract :

According to Heidegger any translation is a translation. Translating hismasterpiece Sein und Zeit (Being and Time) is so difficult that somescholars have taken it impossible.Recently, two Persian translations of Sein und Zeit have beenappeared. One of them is Mahmood Navāli’s translation , named aswudjood u zamān. The other is Siyāvash Jamādi’s translation , named ashasti u zamān.In this article, the author has attempted to show that none of these twotranslanlations can supply the expectations of a reader who comparesthe translation with the original text, indicating that the occurrence oftranslating the book into Persian seems impossible.
