Catford 1965:20 : The replacement of textual material in one language SL by equivalent textual material in another language.
Crystal 1987:334 states that, “The term ‘translation’ is the neutral term used for all tasks where the meaning of expression in one language the ‘source’ language is turned into

the meaning of another the ‘target’ language, whether the medium is spoken, written, or signed.”
Larson 1984 : 3 states that translation consists of transferring the meaning of source text ST to target text TT, and it is done by going from the form of source text to the form
of target text by way of semantic structure. It is the meaning which is transferred and it can not be added or changed, only the surface structure or form can be changed.
Nida and Taber 1974: 412 state, “Anything that can be said in one language can be said in another, unless the form is an essential element of these message; the best translation
does not sound like translation.” Turnip 2001 in her thesis entitled “The Equivalence Of Verbs In The Translation Of
Mary Higgins Clarks’ Where Are The Children Into Dimana Anak-Anakku” discussed about the verbs translation and the verbal change of class. She used the method of library review
research and quantitative analysis. She found out that there are 1292 verbs using the Simple Past Tense in the novel which consist of : 1168 verbs that translated from verb to verb, 56
verbs that translated from verb to another part of speech changing the class of word, and 68 verbs that are not translated. She also found out that there were 194 finite verbs using the
Simple Present Tense in the novel. They consist of 136 verbs that translated from verb to verb, 33 verbs that are translated from verb to another part of speech changing the class of

shifts from base verb in Bahasa Indonesia to verb in English is 27,37, the frequency of
