Im better off alone. Aku lebih baik sendiri.
Jo ran her finger around the rim of the mug before
saying anything. Trust me on this
: no one is better off alone.
Jo mengusap pinggiran mug sebelum berkata lagi.
Percayalah, tidak seorang pun lebih baik
sendiri.
As shown in the table above, the DM trust me on this in SL is translated into percayalah in TL. There are two respondents R2 and R3 who give score 2
not equivalent to this datum and one respondent R1 who gives score 1 equivalent to this datum. Even though this datum is considered as not
equivalent, the researcher thinks this datum is equivalent. It is because both of the translations of the DMs in SL and TL give the same effect to the readers of both
texts. Both of them have the same function as to show the speaker‟s attitude. The
speaker believes of what she has said is true.

However, since this datum is considered as not equivalent, an alternative translation is suggested. It will be better to translate trust me on this into percaya
deh because it is c
ommonly used in the TL culture to express someone‟s attitude towards something he believes to be true.
To sum up the analysis of equivalence, below are charts showing the equivalence of the translations of discourse markers in Nicholas Sparks‟ Safe
Haven . There are two charts, which is divided based on data and respondents.
