This study chose Macbeth play written by English writer William Shakespeare in 1606 AD translated by two Arabic translators; Hussein Ahmed Ameen, and Mutran Khalil Mutran. By resorting to Newmark's metaphor translation procedures, the study concluded that the two translators used mainly literal and ellipses translation strategy. They managed to maintain both dialectal and social features of the foundation text in many cases. It has also revealed that the translator should have a cultural, social and political comprehension in translating metaphor from English into Arabic.
