ABSTRAK
BENTUK-BENTUK PASIF DALAM BAHASA INDONESIA DAN
TERJEMAHANNYA DALAM BAHASA INGGRIS PADA NOVEL
‘CERITA DALAM KEHENINGAN’ MENJADI ‘EVERY SILENCE
HAS A STORY’
Thesis ini berjudul “Bentuk-bentuk Pasif dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan Terjemahannya dalam Bahasa Inggris pada novel ‘Cerita Dalam Keheningan’ menjadi ‘Every Silence Has a Story’. Topik ini dipilih karena bentuk pasif umum dipergunakan baik dalam bahasa Indonesia maupun bahasa Inggris. Dalam menerjemahkan, tidak semua kalimat pasif pada bahasa sumber dapat diterjemahkan ke dalam bentuk pasif pada bahasa target. Ada pula kalimat pasif yang diterjemahkan ke dalam bentuk aktif untuk mempertahankan pesan yang ingin disampaikan. Bentuk-bentuk pasif dalam bahasa Indonesia diBentuk-bentuk dengan melekatkan awalan di-, ter- dan ber-. Awalan di- dan ter- terkadang dapat dikombinasikan dengan akhiran –kan dan –i. Tujuan dari penulisan tesis ini adalah: menemukan bentuk-bentuk pasif dalam bahasa Indonesia yang terdapat dalam novel Cerita Dalam Keheningan, menganalisis bentuk –bentuk pasif dalam bahasa Indonesia dan mencari padanannya dalam bahasa Inggris, menjelaskan pergeseran (shift) makna yang terjadi dari bahasa sumber ke bahasa target yang berkenaan dengan bentuk pasif, mencari tahu apakah ada informasi yang ditambah atau dikurangi yang berhubungan dengan kalimat pasif.
Teori-teori yang digunakan adalah: metodologi penerjemahan oleh Vinay dan Darbelnet, jenis dan fungsi bentuk-bentuk pasif dalam bahasa Indonesia oleh Hasan Alwi dkk., Dr. Liaw Yock Fang dan James Neil Sneddon, teori mengenai bentuk pasif dalam bahasa Inggris oleh Randolph Quirk, teori shift oleh Catford, dan juga teori loss and gain oleh Nida. Dalam menganalisa data, kedua novel dibaca dengan seksama, kemudian mengidentifikasi dan mencatat bentuk pasif dalam bahasa Indonesia dan terjemahannya ke dalam bahasa Inggris. Setelah itu data yang telah dikumpulkan, diklasifikasikan berdasarkan pada permasalahan yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini. Terakhir data disajikan dengan terlebih dahulu menunjukkan bentuk pasif dalam bahasa sumber dan diikuti oleh terjemahannya dalam bahasa target.
Temuan dari analisis menunjukkan bahwa, ada delapan jenis bentuk pasif yang ditemukan pada bahasa sumber. Bentuk pasif dalam bahasa Indonesia yaitu dengan menambahkan awalan di-, ter- dan ber- tidak terpengaruh oleh waktu. Bentuk ini dapat digunakan baik di masa lampau atau masa depan. Sedangkan dalam bahasa Inggris, waktu (masa depan atau masa lampau) penting dalam membentuk kalimat. Awalan di- lebih menekankan tentang proses perbuatan yang ditunjukkan oleh kata kerja. Awalan ter- menunjukkan tindakan yang dilakukan tanpa sengaja. Dan awalan
ber- menunjukkan bahwa subyek kalimat merupakan orang atau sesuatu yang dikenai
suatu tindakan. Ada beberapa masukan yang diberikan yaitu: Dalam menerjemahkan bentuk pasif, penerjemah harus mampu memahami isi dari kalimat. Pengetahuan tentang bentuk pasif adalah salah satu dari pengetahuan dasar. Para penerjemah disarankan untuk meminimalkan menghilangkan informasi ketika menerjemahkan sebuah teks dari bahasa sumber ke bahasa target. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan pembaca bingung atau tidak mengerti mengenai isi cerita atau pesan yang ingin
disampaikan oleh penulis. Penambahan informasi untuk memberikan penekankan terhadap jalan cerita diperbolehkan asalkan tidak mengubah isi dari cerita.
Kata kunci: penerjemahan, bentuk pasif, pergeseran (shift), loss and gain
ABSTRACT
INDONESIAN PASSIVE CONSTRUCTIONS
AND THEIR TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH FOUND IN
NOVEL ‘CERITA DALAM KEHENINGAN’ INTO ‘EVERY
SILENCE HAS A STORY’
This thesis is entitled “Indonesian Passive Constructions and Their Translation into English found in Novel ‘Cerita Dalam Keheningan’ into ‘Every
Silence Has a Story’. The reason why this topic is discussed is that passive
construction is commonly used both in Indonesian and in English. In translating passive from source language into target language, not all can retained as passive. There are also passive translated into active in order to maintain the message and to keep the naturalness of the target language. Passive constructions in Indonesian are formed by attaching prefix di-, prefix ter- and prefix ber-. Prefix di- and prefix ber- are sometimes combined with suffix –kan and –i. The objectives of this thesis are; finding out the types of Indonesian passive constructions found in the novel Cerita
dalam Keheningan, analyzing the Indonesian passive constructions and their
equivalence into English, describing what kind of shifts occurred from SL text into TL concerning passive construction, and finding out loss and gain of meaning concerning passive sentence found in this novel.
The theories used in this study are: methodology of translation by Vinay and Darbelnet, types and functions of Indonesian passive constructions by Hasan Alwi dkk., Dr. Liaw Yock Fang and James Neil Sneddon, the theory of English passive constructions by Randolph Quirk, the theory of shift by Catford is used to discuss about shift occur in passive constructions from SL into TL, and also the concept of loss and gain are proposed. In analyzing the data both of the novels are read carefully and then followed by identifying and note taking the Indonesian passive construction and their translation into English, after that the collected data were classified based on the problem being discussed in this study. Finally the data were presented by firstly showing the passive construction in the SL followed by its translation in the TL.
The findings of the analysis show that, there are eight types of passive construction found in SL. The form of Indonesian passive constructions such as prefix di-, prefix ter- and prefix ber- are not affected by time, it can be used whether in the past or future. Whereas in English, time (future or past) is important in forming sentence and usually it is called tense. Prefix di- emphasizes more about the process of the action indicated by the verb. Prefix ter- implies the actions are accidentally done or not on purpose. And prefix ber- indicates that the subject of the sentence is a person or something indicated by an action in that sentence. Some suggestions which can be drawn are: In order to be able to translate a passive construction from Indonesian to English, one must first be able to grasp the meaning of the full sentence. The knowledge of passive construction is just one of much basic knowledge which is needed. The translators are advised to minimize eliminate the information when translating a text from SL to TL. This can caused readers confuse or not really understand about contain of the story or message want to convey by the writer.
Addition of information which is used to give an emphasizing to the storyline is allowed but still in line of the story and does not change the essence of the story.
