This article examines two key principles that translators face when translating from Dutch to English: equivalence and adequacy. The main focus is on semantic, stylistic, and cultural differences in literary works. The practical manifestations of both principles are analyzed using the example of Harry Mulisch’s famous work “De Aanslag” (The Attack) and its English translation (“The Assault”). The results of the study show that although semantic equivalence can be achieved in translation, it is not always possible to fully preserve cultural and stylistic adequacy.
