REVIEW OF THE RELATED THEORIES
Theoretical Review
- The Concept of Translation Ability
The Concept of ReadingComprehension
According to Glenda MacNaughton, reading is the recognition and interpretation of the meaning of a printed word or symbol and groups of words or symbols. On the other hand, reading is a neuronal and intellectual circuit act, enriched as much by the unpredictable indirections of a reader's inferences and thoughts as by the direct message to the eye from the text.12. Then reading is also useful for other purposes: any exposure to English (provided students understand it more or less) is a good thing for language learners.14.
However, reading is a remarkable achievement considering the number of levels and components to master. This means that reading is the basis of getting information from the text through reading, human thinking, transferring information and learning something new on a daily basis. Therefore, the purpose of the reading activity is to recognize the meaning of words and phrases in the reading passages.
Processing occurs when linguistic input from the text is compared to the reader's previous knowledge. Types of discourse markers are: (a) Enumerative: first, second, finally, etc. b) Additive: again, then again, additionally, well, etc. Traditional measures of reading comprehension are limited in that they are only a common indicator of how the learner understands. to text, and they are not based on experts' knowledge of what good readers must do to understand text.19.
To know to what extent the students should measure reading comprehension, use the assessment of reading.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
A quantitative method explains the reduction to a modest set of variables that is strictly controlled by design or statistical analysis, providing measures or observations to test a theory.1 That is, quantitative research is the illustration of a fact by numerical or statistical analysis. Ex post facto research is sometimes called causal comparison because its purpose is to investigate cause-and-effect relationships between independent and dependent variables.2. There are an independent variable (X) and a dependent variable (Y), the independent variable (X) is reading comprehension and the dependent variable (Y) is translation ability.

Operational Definition of Variables
In addition, the writer would measure reading comprehension by collecting data that would be obtained through a test, the writer uses a written test consisting of 20 questions. Students would get one mark for answering a question correctly and zero for a wrong answer. A dependent variable is a variable that is observed and measured to determine the effect of the independent variable.
To determine the variable, the test result can be seen, the writer would put the text from source language (SL) to target language (TL), English to Indonesian, so students need to understand the translation of the sentence. The writer will test the text from the source language (SL) to the target language (TL), English. Students receive one mark for answering a question correctly and zero for an incorrect answer.
