This research has been done by comparative method. At first, the meaning and definition of the term "Critic" has been found out by four famous English Dictionaries (Webster, Oxford, Longman and American Heritage) while comparing the meanings with each other. The synonyms in each dictionary have been obtained. Then concerning the frequency rate of each term, five words such as: "analyze, judge, evaluate, appraise and assess" have been selected and analyzed.
Next, the meaning of definition of the terms have been searched in some famous English-Persian Dictionaries (Bateni and Colleagues English-Persian dictionary, Aryanpur progressive dictionary) and the relation between the terms has been analyzed in English and Persian language.
Finally, by looking up the meaning and definition of the terms in Persian dictionaries (Dehkhoda Dictionary and A dictionary of Contemporary Persian language), the relation between those English and Persian synonymous words has been defined.
