ABSTRACT

ARDITA, MONICA. The Translation Analysis of The Idiomatic Expressions

in Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw Translated into Diary Si Bocah Tengil: Usaha Terakhir. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Sanata Dharma University, 2017.

Language is the most important tool in human life to deliver message from one person to another. Unfortunately, we live in a world with different kinds of people, places of living, knowledge, and culture that make language seems countless. Thus, this creates a miscommunication between one another. In this case, translation takes a big role to make us understand about other language. Translation, by trait, is something written which has been translated from one language to another language. It can be found in literary works such as novel, poem, and short story. Regarding with translation and literary works, this study focuses on the equivalence and the translation method of idiomatic expressions in Kinney’sDiary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw.

The researcher created two propositions in this study. The first proposition is analyzing the equivalence of Indonesian translation of English idiomatic expressions in Kinney’s Diary of Wimpy Kid. The second proposition is analyzing the translation method that is applied in translating the idiomatic expressions into Indonesian in Kinney’sDiary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw.

This study applies library and qualitative research method. The library research is used to find theories in analyzing the problems in this study. The researcher uses Larson’s theory to analyze the equivalence translation and translation method in this study. The equivalence theories are divided into two parts which are figurative and non-figurative sense. For the translation method, the researcher uses Baker’s theory which contained in four strategies which are using similar meaning and form, using similar meaning but dissimilar form, paraphrase, and omission.

ABSTRAK

ARDITA, MONICA. The Translation Analysis of The Idiomatic Expressions

in Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw Translated into Diary Si Bocah Tengil: Usaha Terakhir. Yogyakarta: Program Studi Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Sanata Dharma, 2017.

Bahasa merupakan alat yang sangat penting untuk menyampaikan pesan kepada orang lain di dalam kehidupan manusia. Tetapi, kita hidup di tempat yang beraneka ragam akan pengetahuan dan budaya sehingga hal ini menyebabkan kita mengalami kesalahan untuk berkomunikasi dengan bahasa asing dan maka dari itu terjemahan mempunyai andil besar untuk membuat kita mengerti antara satu bahasa dengan yang lain. Terjemahan merupakan suatu hal yang tertulis yang sudah diterjemahkan dari satu bahasa ke bahasa yang lainnya. Hal ini dapat ditemukan di dalam karya sastra seperti novel, puisi, dan cerita pendek. Berkaitan dengan terjemahan dan karya sastra, skripsi ini berfokus pada kesetaraan dan metode terjemahan terhadap ekspresi-ekspresi idiomatis pada buku Kinney yang berjudul Diary si Bocah Tengil.

Dalam hal ini peneliti menganalisis dua pembahasan. Pembahasan pertama adalah kesetaraan ekspresi-ekspresi idiomatis dari bahasa Inggris ke bahasa Indonesia. Dan pembahasan yang terakhir adalah menganalisis metode terjemahan yang diterapkan dalam menerjemahkan ekspresi-ekspresi idiomatis ke Bahasa Indonesia dari cerita pendek yang berjudul Diari si Bocah Tengil.

Penelitian ini menerapkan metode studi pustaka dan metode kualitatif. Studi pustaka digunakan untuk menemukan teori yang akan digunakan untuk menganalisis kesetaraan terjemahan dan metode yang digunakan untuk menerjemahkan penelitian yang sedang dianalisis. Peneliti menggunakan metode dari Larson untuk menganalisis kesetaraan terjemahan, teorinya terdiri dari dua kategori kesetaraan terjemahan yaitu, figuratif dan non-figuratif. Peneliti juga menggunakan teori Baker untuk menganalisis metode terjemahan yang terdiri dari penerjemahan menggunakan bentuk dan arti yang sama, menggunakan bentuk yang berbeda tetapi memiliki arti yang sama, parafrase, dan penghilangan.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

We as human and social beings in this world need to communicate with each other. Therefore, language is the most important tool in our life to deliver message between one another. Unfortunately, we live in different places, with different knowledge, and diverse culture that makes language seem countless in variety. Thus, this creates a misunderstanding between speakers. In this case, translation takes a big role to clear all confusions when learning a language.

Translation is something which is written and is transferred from one language to another. Translation can be found in literary works such as novel, poem, and short story. Different theorists state various definitions for translation. Translation should be literal (word-for-word), which means sticking very closely to the original or free (sense-for-sense) and the imaginative, the idiomatic translation is still preferred (Munday, 2001: 34). It is not easy to translate literary works because the translator should have particular qualities of both languages. There are certain problems that people find when translating a text. One of them is cultural language expression, such as idiomatic expressions.

(15)

expression in SL might have different meaning when it is translated into TL (Baker, 1992: 71).

The result is that the translator should learn more about both the language of SL and TL to make a good translation. As good translators, they need to analyze and to understand about the background knowledge of SL (Source Language) and TL (Target Language) to make an appropriate expression and rational sense of the text that they translate.

According to Larson, a translator who takes time studying the source language text will write a semantic analysis of it, and then look for the equivalent in ways which the same message is expressed naturally in the receptor message and thus will be able to provide an adequate and sometimes a brilliant translation (Larson, 1984: 22).

Here are some examples of translating the idiomatic expressions from ST (Source Text) into TT (Target Text) based and their type of idiomatic expressions (TIE) on Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw.

ST TT TIE

Based on the table above are the examples of type of idiomatic expressions which are found in the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw based on the source text and their translation.

This undergraduate thesis focuses on the English idiomatic expressions in Kinney’s Diary of a wimpy Kid: The Last Straw and its bahasa Indonesia

is more popular among teenagers and has become a part of daily conversations. It is used to make the conversations more interesting.

B. Problem Formulation

1. What kind of equivalence is the Indonesian translation of English idiomatic expressions in Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kids: The Last Straw?

2. What are the translation strategies used in translating the English idiomatic expressions into bahasa Indonesia in Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kids: The Last Straw?

C. Objectives of the Study

This research aims to find out how a translator translates the English idiomatic expressions in Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw, to analyze whether the translation of the English idiomatic expressions from the ST are equivalent with its translation in the TT, and to identify the strategy used to translate the English (SL) idiomatic expressions into Bahasa Indonesia (TL). D. Definition of Terms

Equivalence is to achieve the main aim of equivalent effectthat is closest

to its natural equivalent to the source language that relies on the adaptation of grammar, cultural references, and lexicon of the ST (Nida, 1982: 12).

Idiomatic expressions are a collection of frozen patterns of language

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL REVIEW

This chapter contains three main parts. They are the review of related studies, review of related theories, and theoretical framework. The first part are reviews of other studies which also discusses similiar topic with this thesis. The second part are some theories that will help in completing the analysis. The theories used are about translation, including the strategies or the methods and also theories of idiomatic expressions.

A. Review of Related Studies

1. Chrisadiya’s thesis on “The Translation of Idiomatic Expressions in J.K

Rowling’s Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone: A Study on

Equivalence and Translation Strategies”

This undergraduate thesis discusses the equivalent of Indonesian translation in the idiomatic expressions and the applied strategies which is used to translate the English idioms in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone. The objects of this study are some sentences which are idiomatic expressions found in Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone in bahasa Indonesia (TL). This study is related to the idiomatic expressions which are used in Harry

Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone. Chrisadiya uses Baker’s theory for the

translation strategies in idiomatic expressions.

Chrisadiya’s analysis focuses on the translation strategies on idiomatic

(19)

used Nida’s theory and Taber’s theory to analyze the equivalence strategies in the

thesis and found the idiomatic expressions which were classified into two equivalences; dynamic equivalence and formal equivalence.

The present thesis is different from Chrisadiya’s thesis in the object that is analyzed, although it is similar in dealing with the translation strategy of idiomatic expressions. The differences between this studies are on the object analysis and the equivalence theory.

2. Pasangka’s thesis on “The Equivalence and the Method of the

Indonesian translation of English Idiom in the Subtitle of F riday Night Lights Movie”

The second study analyzed the equivalence and the translation method in the subtitle Friday Night Lights movie. This study is related to the translation of the English idiom in the subtitle. There are many English idioms in Friday Night Lights movie that is not translated into bahasa Indonesia. It is important that they should translate the words equivalently by using Baker’s strategy. The data of this undergraduate thesis are focused on words classified as idiom.

Pasangka’s discussion focuses on finding out the kind of equivalents of a translated text using this translation strategies. This thesis was not deep enough in analyzing the definition and the differences between formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence. Moreover, Pasangka’s thesis does not classified the idiom

specificly by its kinds.

The present thesis is different from Pasangka’s thesis in several aspects,

(20)

expressions and the equivalent of the translation. The differences lie on the discussion of translating object. While Pasangka’s thesis uses Nida’s theory to

analyze the equivalence of the English idiom, the present thesis chooses Larson’s theory to analyze the equivalence of translation and idiomatic expressions.

B. Review of Related Theories

1. Theory of Translation Strategy

Idiomatic in translation occasionally means that idiom should not be translated by another idiom. Sometimes the search for the target language idiom may be all in vain. In English, as in many other languages, there may be no idiomatic concepts. There are some opinions about the translation of idioms. Mona Baker, in her book In Other Words (1992), defines the following strategies for translating idiomatic expressions:

a. Translation by Using an Idiom with Similar Form and Meaning

(21)

b. Translation by Using an Idiom of Similar Meaning but Dissimilar Form

Another strategy suggested by Baker is translation of idiom by using an idiom with similar meaning but dissimilar form in the target language. In this case, the lexical items of an idiom are not preserved; it is translated as a semantic equivalent. It conveys roughly the same meaning withthe English idiom. As an example, the English idiom “use your mind” is translated into the Indonesian idiom bermain dengan akal. Both idioms have similar meaning but different lexical item. These idioms are pointed to a condition of people who use their brain to do something. The difference is that English idiom equipped the word “use” in English while in Indonesian idiom it is equipped with bermain.

c. Translation by Paraphrase

(22)

Therefore, it is relevant for this thesis to distinguish two types of paraphrase: stylistic paraphrase and explanatory paraphrase. As an example, the English idiom “red alert” is translated into bahaya. This idiom is translated into the Indonesian

word bahaya because both of them have similar context. d. Translation by Omission

This strategy implies that sometimes an idiom may be omitted, leaving no traces in the target language. Omission is allowed only in some cases: first, when there is no close equivalent in the target language; second, when it is difficult to paraphrase; and finally, an idiom may be omitted for stylistic reasons (Baker, 1992: 77). This strategy is not used frequently. However, in a worst case the translator may omit some idiom if it is not possible to translate it using strategy by compensation, where he can put an idiom in another place of the clause, thus preserving the stylistic effect of idiom usage in the source text. As an example, the English idiom “if I had a nickel for everytime that happened, I would be rich” is not translated into Indonesian because this idiom has no close match in the Indonesian language as the target language.

2. Theory of Equivalence

(23)

is related to one and another and to the primary meaning by some thread of meaning.

3.

Types of Idiomatic Expression

Idiomatic expressions are the vocabulary consist of single words and

multiword expressions (Fernando, 1996: 1). Idioms have been given a variety of names including: two-word verbs; phrasal verb; prepositional verbs; and idiomatic expressions. The widespread occurrence of these four features in common word combination has resulted in many types of multiword expressions identified by some other term such as slang, proverbs, allusions, similes, dead metaphors, social formulae, and collocations also being identified as idioms.

A phrasal verb is a verb that is composed of two parts, the verb and the

particle which consists of one or more preposition. When these two parts come together, they generally have a different meaning than the parts they have individually. That means that phrasal verbs do not usually have literal meanings. Non-native speakers will have to learn the meaning of these phrasal verbs similar to learning new vocabulary words. The six patterns are (McPartland, 1981: x) as follows:

1. Intransitive verb + Particle 2. Intransitive verb + Preposition

3. Intransitive verb + Particle + Preposition 4. Transitive verb + Particle

5. Transitive verb + Preposition

(24)

Examples of phrasal verbs include; take on, leave out, write up, turn off, bring about, and listen in. There is a base verb coupled with a preposition.

SL: Catch up (to get to the same point as someone else) TL: Mengikuti

Some phrasal verb cannot be translated word-by-word but and the context itself must be known. For example, the phrasal verb catch up cannot be translated into menangkap keatas because “catch up” in here means to get to the same point as someone else.

Like phrasal verbs, idiom is composed of multiple words that have different meanings than the sum of the individual words, the difference is that idioms are not simply verbs plus preposition. They can take many forms. Idioms have non-literal meanings. For example:

SL: Piece of cake TL: Sangat mudah

Idioms are informal expressions used in everyday speech. Often referred

to as catch phrases, colloquialisms or clichés, they are groups of words that, together, have a special meaning that is different than each of the words alone. They serve as a colorful way to sum up an idea (for example, “mad as a hornet” illustrates a recognized degree of anger in a simple expression) (Sera, 2004: 5).

In The Life of Slang, the OED provides five definitions for slang that refer to language use (Coleman, 2012: 12). They are:

(25)

2. The special vocabulary or phraseology of a particular calling or profession; the cant or jargon of a certain class or period. (1801-) 3. Language of a highly colloquial type, considered as below the level of

standard educated speech, and consisting either of new words or of current words employed in some special sense. (1818-).

4. Abuse, impertinence. (1805-) 5. Humbug, nonsense. (1762) For example:

SL: Sick (cool, awesome) TL: Keren

This example is a slang that the meaning of sick is not ill but to show an amazed expression.

C. Theoretical Framework

(26)

CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the methodology that the researcher used to answer the problem formulation. It contains four parts. They are areas of research, object of the study, method of the study, and research procedure. Areas of research explains in what area the translation research is conducted by the writer. Object of the study provides the description of the object being studied that include words, phrases, sentences, and paragraph. Method of the study describes the way the work is analyzed. Research procedure describes the data collection process. A. Area of Research

The area of this research uses text analysis and translation research where the source text is analyzed. It focuses on the equivalence analysis of the target text and examines the various aspects which caused problems in translating Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw. In A Beginner’s Guide to Doing Research in Translation Studies, translation texts do not only stop on the analysis itself but also continue to the comparison of the result with the source text (Williams and Chesterman, 2002: 6).

B. Object of the Study

The main object of this study is the idiomatic expressions found in Kinney’s novel Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw as the source text and the

(27)

The types of idiomatic expressions analyzed in this research are phrasal verb, idiom, slang language, and equivalence.

C. Method of the Study

The method of this study is a qualitative research. In a qualitative project, the author will describe a research problem that can best be understood by exploring a concept or phenomenon (Creswell, 2009: 98). Qualitative research is applied since the objective of this study discussess the idiomatic expressions in Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw. The idiomatic expressions are

chosen because the researcher analyzes the equivalence and the translation method found in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw into Diary si Bocah Tengil: Usaha Terakhir. To analyze the data, library research is also applied. Library research involves identifying and locating sources that provide factual information or personal/expert opinion on a research question; necessary component of every other research method at some point (George, 2008: 6). This component is vital for further research in terms of giving results from the analysis later. The method is collected from written materials such as theses, dictionaries, novels, books of relevant theories and online references.

(28)

D. Research Procedure

1. Types of Data

The data is objective data. The research data were taken from a novel entitled Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw published in 2009 by Amulet Books with 218 pages. The original novel was written by Jeff Kinney. The data from the target text were collected from its translation novel entitled Diary si Bocah Tengil: Usaha Terakhir published in Jakarta by Atria. The novel also has 218 pages and was translated by Ferry Ahmad.

This book is based on Kinney’s life. The genre of this book is comedy and

the plot in this story tells about family, friends, and school. There are 620 idiomatic expressions found in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw. This study uses the English version as the source text and the Indonesian version as the target text.

2. Data Collection

First, the researcher read Diary of a Wimpy Kid in both versions and figure out the definition of idiomatic expressions and its type. Next, the researcher started to collect phrases that are related with idiomatic expressions from the source text and match it with its translation. Then, the researcher read the book again and wrote down the idiomatic expressions from both sources and classified them based on its type. Finally, the researcher classified the data according to the translation strategy and put them in a table.

(29)

sentences that correspond with the idiomatic expressions and its translation. After matching the data, the researcher bolds the idiomatic expressions and its translation in each text to show where it is analyzed. The number data are given in the last step. Below is the example of the analysis in a table.

TIE : Type of Idiomatic Expression

PV : Phrasal Verb (Type of Idiomatic Expression)

In terms of translation strategy, the researcher put the idiomatic expressions and its translation in a table. The researcher collected the sentences that are connected with the idiomatic expressions and its translation. After collecting the data, the researcher bolds the idiomatic expressions and its translation in each text to show where it is analyzed. The number datais given in the last step.

3. Population and Sample

(30)

are 620 but only 62 data are selected for analysis. The overall population this study used are sentences in the collected data. The sample method is stratified random sampling and the sampled population are categorized by its type of idiomatic expressions then a random sample is taken from within a more selected categorized.

4. Data Analysis

There were several steps in analyzing the data of this study. In the first, the researcher collected the data and put it in a table in order to prove whether the you’re supposed to come up with a list of “resolution” at the beginning of the year to try to make yourself a better person?

Table 3.2. Example Table of Idiomatic Expression in Equivalence

The table (3.2.) showed only the type of idiomatic expressions of phrasal verb and slang are translated into figurative equivalent. The others were translated into non-figurative equivalent.

In the final analysis, the researcher used Baker’s theory in order to find out the translation strategy of the idiomatic expressions and its translation. The researcher used English dictionary and other English-published dictionary as well as Indonesian dictionary as references to check the idiomatic expressions and its translation. the beginning of the year to try to make yourself a better person?

CHAPTER IV

ANALYSIS RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

This chapter consists of two parts. The first part discusses the equivalence of the translation to analyze the figurative and the non-figurative equivalent of ST and TT. Theory of equivalence from Larson is used in this analysis. The second part discusses the translation strategy applied by the translator in the TT. Baker’s theory is used to find the translation strategy of each idiomatic expression that is found in the ST. It is then explained later based on the relation between the idiomatic expressions in the ST and its translation in the TT.

A. The Equivalence in Diary of a Wimpy Kid Based on Larson’s

Classification

In this part, the researcher identifies the figurative and the non-figurative equivalent found in the ST and the TT then divides them in three divisions. The three divisions are the equivalence type of phrasal verb in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the equivalence type of idiom in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and the equivalence type of slang in Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

1. The Equivalence Type of the Phrasal Verb in Diary of a Wimpy Kid

(34)

The data shows that from forty phrasal verbs collected (see Appendix 1), twenty six of them are figurative equivalent, twelve of them are non-figurative equivalent, and the other two data are not translated. This concludes that most of the phrasal verbs in the ST are non-figurative equivalent.

Chart 4.1. The Equivalence Type of Phrasal Verb in Diary of a Wimpy Kid

The reason is that most phrasal verbs in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw tend to relate the phrasal verbs with its literal meaning based on the context. For example, the pharasal verb fork over in the table shows how it is translated in Diary si Bocah Tengil: Usaha Terakhir.

Code ST Code TT

9/ST/DOK/ PV/F/35

That seemed to be enough to convince him to fork over one of his new video games and a couple of other things

5 10 15 20 25 30

Figurative Non-Figurative None

Phrasal Verb

(35)

Based on the table above, the phrasal verb fork over is translated into “menyerahkan”. The translator translated it figuratively because fork over and “menyerahkan” shares the same equivalent meaning with to give something to

someone, especially when you do not want to do or in Indonesia it can be explained as “terpaksa”. The sentence is related to one and another and to the primary meaning by some thread of meaning. The next example is the phrasal verb snapped awake.

Different from the previous table, this table shows that the phrasal verb snapped awake and curled up in a ball are translated non-figuratively.

lainnya

17/ST/DOK/ PV/NF/63

I almost fell asleep in Mr. Watson’s class in sixth period, but luckily I snapped awake when my head hit the back of my chair

I just curled up in a ball and tried to conserve as much body heat as possible to make it through to the morning

25/TT/DBT /NF/130

(36)

It is because the translator translated them literally. In Cambridge Dictionary, snapped awake can be understood as to quickly return to a previous place or condition and this is translated into “terjaga” or “terbangun dari tidur”. Both of them share the same equivalent meaning and use the primary sense. The last example is from the pharasal verb ends up.

Based on the table, there are three data that are not translated by the translator because the data functioned as redundant words and therefore omitted. An example is the phrasal verb ends up. It is defined as “to finally be in a particular place or situation”. In the TT, the translation becomes “Jadi pada dasarnya, (-) Paman Charlie memberiku tugas sebagai hadiah Natal". Both of them describes the same situation without showing the word “terpaksa” in the TT

since we know that the character (Rowley) was not willing to give up his stuff. The translated text already explained the context clearly and therefore the phrase ends up is omitted.

2. The Equivalence Type of the Idiom in Diary of a Wimpy Kid

This section discusses the type of equivalence on idiom found in The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw and Diary si Bocah Tengil: Usaha Terakhir.

16/ST/DOK/ PV/-/12

So basically, it ends up that Uncle Charlie got me a chore for Christmas

16/TT/DBT /NA/12

(37)

Chart 4.2. The Equivalence Type of Idiom in Diary of a Wimpy Kid

From the data collected (see Appendix 2), it can be seen that out of ten idioms, all of them are non-figurative equivalent. The idioms found both in the ST and TT are translated literally without any other reference to identify its real meaning. For example, the idiom in a nutshell is translated into “penjelasan singkatnya”.

50/ST/DOK/ ID/NF/133

2 4 6 8 10 12

Idiom

(38)

The non-figurative idiomatic phrase in a nutshell is defined as very briefly, giving only the main points. This meaning is translated literally by the translator in the TT into “penjelasan singkatnya”. The translator translated it directly to the

meaning of the idiom phrase itself that he should translated it into Indonesian idiom which has similar meaning with the phrase from ST.

The second phrase down in the dumps is also translated non-figuratively because the phrase down in the dumps or unhappy and in the TT, the phrase is translated into “tertekan” which describes hard feeling or in Indonesian as

Based on the table above, the slang word bucks which is used among kids or teenagers in US has a general meaning that many people can relate. Bucks is a slang word for US dollar. The translator translated it into “dolar” where the TT

readers can understand the meaning of “dolar” itself. “Dolar” or “mata uang

Classification in The Diary of a Wimpy Kid

In this section, the researcher categories the idiomatic expressions of the ST and the TT found in The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw and Diary si Bocah Tengil: Usaha Terakhir with Baker’s translation strategies.

From the table, it can be seen in the table above that come up with (verb + adverbial particles) is a phrasal verb with adverbial particles. The phrase means get something. This idiomatic expression is then translated by the translator using the strategy of similar meaning and similar form. In the TT section of the table, the word come up with is translated into “mendapatkan” and “mencari”. According to Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI), “mendapatkan” is a verb and “mencari” is also a verb of “memperoleh” or “mendapatkan” and “untuk memperoleh” for “mencari”. Therefore, it is similar in its literal meaning and

form.

No. Data ST No. Data TT

I think that Dad might’ve been jealous he didn’t come up with the robe idea first

1/TT/DB T/7

5/ST/DOK /PV/119

The first thing Mr. Litch did was hand out uniforms, and then he told us to come up with a team name

The same phrasal verb is used like in the previous table, but it has different translation. The phrase come up with in here is to produce or provide something that people want and so, the translation from the ST come up with is then

(menjadikan, menghasilkan)” and “membikin”. The end result shows that though, the ST come up with is translated into “membuat”, “menciptakan”, and “menyusun”. All of the words share the same meaning and form in the TT.

2/ST/DOK /PV/1

You know how you’re supposed to come up with a list of

“resolution” at the beginning of the year to try to make yourself a better person?

6/TT/DB T/215

(42)

Based on table, the phrasal verb ship me out (verb + sb + particle) can be understood as to move somebody or someone away from a place, while ship out (verb + particle) is to leave.

The only difference is that ship me out uses present tense with subject placed in the middle while shipped out uses past tense and no subject placement between the words.

7/ST/DOK/P V/16

But the minute I do, I guarantee you Dad will be looking for the first chance to ship me out

7/TT/DBT /16

thought it would pay off on Christmas

Padahal aku sudah susah payah bersikap manis pada orang-orang selama beberapa bulan

sebelumnya, dan kukira semua usahaku akan mendapatkan upah di hari Natal

The ST buttering people up is translated into the TT “bersikap manis”. The phrasal verb is figurative since its literal meaning cannot be bluntly translated into “mengoleskan mentega ke (muka) orang”. By looking through its context in the ST and the TT, it is clear that the word buttering people up refers to the action of being nice to others. In the English dictionary, buttering people up can be

completely wiped out by the time he

dropped me off at my house

saat dia menurunkan aku di depan rumahku

The phrasal verb dropped me off is the same as drop or to drop someone. The translator translated it into “menurunkan” or “membawa turun”.

menyenangkan

The phrasal verb of pull out is to stop being involved in an activity, event, or situation. So, the translator used “mengeluarkan” for the first analysis. Based on the text, “mengeluarkan” is “memberhentikan seeorang dari suatu kegiatan”.

(49)

mulutnya dengan kue brownies di luar garasi

The table shows the similarity between stuffing his face and “menjejali mulutnya” in terms of meaning and form. In English, the word stuffing his face is to eat excessively or to eat a lot quickly. The resemblance goes for its bahasa Indonesia counterpart “menjejali mulutnya” or “mengisi mulut dengan makanan secepatnya dan sebanyaknya”.

mulutnya” have the same meaning and form strategy.

47/ST/DOK/I D/73

I thought Gramma was pulling my leg, but sure enough, the regulars sent one of their ladies over to intimidate me

47/TT/DBT /73

Aku kira Gramma cuma mengolok-olokku, tapi ternyata dia benar. Para pemain lama mengutus salah seorang wanita untuk mengintimidasi aku

Pulling my leg can be defined as to tell someone something that is not true as a way of joking with the person. _{In the TT, the translator used} “mempermainkan” and “mengolok-olok”. Based on KBBI, “mempermainkan”

and “mengolok-olok” have the same meaning, “mempermainkanku” means “memperlakukanku sebagai permainan atau untuk menyenangkan hati” and “mengolok-olok” is “mempermainkan dengan perkataan (seperti mengejek)”.

Though the translator uses two different words to interpret a phrase in the ST, the translator does not lose the main point of the phrase.

The idiom piece of mind has a meaning of to speak angrily to someone about something they have done wrong. In bahasa Indonesia, “mengomelinya” is used to explain a certain situation where someone speaks in an angry tone to someone else. In KBBI, the meaning of “mengomelinya” is “marah dengan

I fell asleep in sixth period today, and this time I was out cold

56/TT/DBT /74

Aku tertidur pada jam pelajaran keenam hari ini, dan kali ini aku benar-benar pulas

The slang word out cold can be interpreted as completely unconscious. The translator translated it into “pulas”. According to KBBI, “pulas” means “nyenyak”. The translator uses the word “pulas” because in bahasa Indonesia the

meaning and form is the same with out cold. It shares the equivalent conditions of someone in a deep sleep.

51/ST/DOK/S L/161

The only other option is to use the cafeteria bathroom, and that place is a complete madhouse

51/TT/DBT /161

foolish thing or people.

It really stinks that I got such crummy gifts this year

59/TT/DBT /12

Menyebalkan sekali aku mendapatkan hadiah-hadiah tidak bermutu tahun lalu

(53)

the word “tidak” before the word “bermutu”, it can be seen that through context, “tidak bermutu” means something useless in some sort of way.

Sayangnya. Alex juga banyak membaca buku-buku Sherlock Sammy. Jadi, dia bilang dia bersedia membantu kami kalau kami membayarnya lima dolar

The slang bucks is a word commonly referred to American Dollar. In Indonesia, it is translated as “dolar” and it is already a part of cultural borrowing in Indonesia to identify The United States’s dollar as “dolar”.

58/ST/DOK/S L/71

I also went because I needed a surefire way to make some money

58/TT/DBT /71

Aku pergi karena aku memerlukan cara ampuh untuk mendapatkan uang

The slang surefire means certain to success. It states the best success way to do something. The translator interpreted it into “ampuh” where in KBBI it has the meaning of “manjur atau benar-benar sangat mujarab”. Both of them have

then forked over the five dollars

pun mengumpulkan uang sejumlah lima dolar

Based on the context, the phrasal verb fork over is to pay an amount of money while in Indonesia the translator tried to make it equivalent by using “mengumpulkan” or in definition“membawa sesuatu dan menjadikan satu”. It can be seen that after the word “mengumpulkan” is “uang” (money) and so, it has

similar meaning with fork over that proposing to pay an amount of money. The difference is that in this context, “mengumpulkan” is done voluntarily while the

original meaning of fork over is to give something using force.

Different from the previous table, the phrasal verb of work out here is used for saying an aftermath of a situation. Thus, the translation becomes “hasilnya”, which in KBBI is “sesuatu yang diadakan oleh usaha”.

jump at the idea 21/TT/DBT_/45

But obviously I didn’t learn my lesson, because I bent over to pick them up

34/TT/DBT /137

refers itself to a more specific activity; picking something that is on the ground. Therefore, the translation strategy used in this word is same meaning but different form.

30/ST/DOK/P V/90

Mom said skipping church on Easter wasn’t an option, and we argued back and forth

45/TT/DBT /106

Mom bilang aku tidak bisa mangkir dari gereja pada hari Paskah, dan kami pun beradu mulut

The idiom back and forth means moving first in one direction and then in the opposite one in the ST. In translating it, it is out of context if the translation is “mondar-mandir”. By looking at the table, the word back and forth is an action of

replying a talk within a conversation and thus, the translator used “beradu mulut” to make it easier for TT reader to understand it.

62/ST/DOK/ SL/27

Some of the guys at my table told Albert he was full of baloney

62/TT/DBT /27

(58)

Kebugaran Fisik Personal, tapi aku berhasil

mengubah pilihannya

Based on table, talked him out of is to persuade someone not to do something. It is then changed into “mengubah” or “menjadikan lain dari semula”. The relation between them is that the translator uses the word “mengubah” as

means of convience. The translation strategy of this part is by paraphrase.
