The first main purpose of this research is to investigate how the English adverbial beta clause functions are rendered into the Arabic texts by using “Google Translate”. The second objective is to preserve the English adverbial beta clause meaning in the target texts throughout of translation process by using “Google Translate”.

This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The selected date is collected from the English novel, “The Old Man and the Sea” which is written by American writer, Hemingway and its translation in Arabic translation by “Google Translate”. The study adopted Halliday’s theory of functional grammar and Newmark’s theory of semantic and communicative translation as a model for analyzing the selected data.

These deviations have affected the conveyance of the adverbial beta clause intended meaning in the target text.
