CHAPTER II THEORITICAL DESCRIPTION
A. Previous Research
Actually, this research is not the first research that analyzes communicative translation. There are many researchers have also observed about this topic. One
research paper that will support the research is written by Wang Miaomiao, a lecturer of Foreign Languages in Electric Power University, Beijing.

In his research, he chose Peter Newmark‟s semantic translation and communicative translation theories
as the guiding principles to analyze the translation of fantasy literature which takes both the Western and Chinese culture into consideration, keeps its mysterious
magical mood and realizes the effects of clarity and straightaway. The translation under this method is clear, smooth and concise. This paper takes the simplified
Chinese version of Harry Potter as an example to illustrate the strategies used in the translation of magical things. It finds that there are generally three ways used in the
translation of Harry Potter: semantic translation, communicative translation and the combination of the two.
Another researcher is Shabnam Shakernia.

The findings obtained from the analysis show that the readability of the translation especially in short stories is more
