The word „fatal‟ is translated into fatal in TL. Actually, in Indonesian based on KBBI
fatal
has meaning
mematikan,
or in English, causing or ending in death. The translator translated the word „fatal‟into
fatal
because heshe wants to make the reader feels like the original. The word „fatal‟ can also be translated into
mematikan
but the translation of
fatal
is still readable because it carries the meaning of the SL. The word is rooted of Latin
fatalis
„ordained by fate‟, from
fatum
„sense of causing death‟ http:www.etymonline.com
Word “hideous” which is translated into
mengerikan
of course is not an exotic method. The word “hideous” here can be classified to communicative
method because based on Shadily and Echols‟ English-Indonesian Dictionary,
“hideous” means
sera m
or
mengerikan
. It is already emphasized on the message meaning. The focus of this data is on the word “fatal” which is translated into
fatal
because the exotic nuance is shown in that word, it keeps the originality of the word.
