Abstract
This thesis focuses on translation equivalence on bilingual Active English For Nurses. The goal of a translation process is to find translation equivalence. The objectives ofthis study are (I) to describe the translation technique by Molina and Albir which used in translating words and phrases from English into indonesia, and (2) to describe the translation equivalence of words and phrases from English into Indonesia. By applying descriptive qualitative method, the data taken from two sources namely Active English for Nurses and the evaluators on accuracy of translation product. The data is collected by identifying of data into words and phrases from source language into target language. Then, the data is classified based on the translation techniques. The questioners spreading technique is used to evaluate the accuracy of translation. The result of the study revealed that single translation technique is usedfor 91 data (80.5%), couplet translation technique is used/or 16 data (14.2%) and triplet translation technique is usedfor 6 data (5.3%). Based on the frequenGY of translation technique, it shows that literal translation is the highest 42 (37.1%), followed by adaptation 19 (17%), natural borrowing 17 (15%), pure borrowing 10 (9%), descriptive 6 (5.3%), discursive creation 4 (3.5%), reducing 4 (3.5%), amplification 5 (4.4%), modulation 3 (2.6%) and transposition 3 (2.6%). It also show that 76 data (67.9%) are translated accurately, 25 data (22.3%) are translated less accurately and 11 data (9.8%) are translated inaccurately.

INTRODUCTION Translation can be regarded as a tool to communicate something. According to Newmark (1988:7) as a communication process, the translation can be used to convey information in a variety ways and its purposes. In translation process, on interpreting is not onlydoing a process but also translators produce same meaning or same message from the source language (S1) to the target language (IT). In this case the result of the translation is determined by the process of translating a text by the translator. Practical purpose of the message transfer prOCess is to assist the reader understanding of the target language text message which intended by author of the source language text (Muhizar, 2011:55). Target language is a product of the translation process, in other words, translation result is equivalent meaning with the accuracy of the source language message, readability and acceptability.
On Finding the equivalent translation results can bring a translator· to intranstability translation and untranstability translation concept. Intransability concept will not happen if the translator has knowledge of the elements forming of the source language text and know the culture of the target language text. Untranstability do because a translator find the equivalence that impossible finding in the in translating the source language text to the target language text. According to Baker (1992:6) that It is use here with the proviso that although equivalent can usually be obtained to some extent, it is influenced by a variety of linguistic and cultural factors and therefore always relative . Baker argues that aU levels in accordance with the requirement that even though all equivalence can be practiced, but it is still influenced by a variety of linguistic and cultural factors with the relatively characteristic, fo example ST: Have you taken your medicine? IT: Did you take medication? In the source language

there is no word for saying drink, but it finds in the target language. The above problems associated with the culture of the source language translator. It's not always if saying minum by using the word drink, but the word take can replace drink in some way. However, by appearing the word take (n) and medicine will result equivalent meaning from the source language into the target language. In the example above, the translator try to find suitable word in translating taken medicine into minum obat. Translator do adaptation on taken medicine. According to the translator, minum obat is a suitable translating for taken medicine from the source language into the target language.
Active English For Nurses Book (AEFN) is one of the bilingual book which containing the conversation and vocabulary that related to treatment that undertaken by the health workers particularly nurses in their practice area. For example communicating with patients regarding admission, nursing instruction, nursing procedures, giving advice, giving direction, offering something, seminar of nursing and nursing documentation. Probability, the equivalent of source language already found, unnecessarily it is suitable and perfect, it possibility to have another equivalence results for different interpretations. According Machali (2009: 140), the equivalent is a form of a demand "sameness" in the target language which seen from semantics terms equivalent to a form of the source language text. Equivalence is also associated with the function of the text and translation methods that chosen according its function. In translating a text or terms from English into Indonesian, translators are expected to choose a equivalent suitable word and easily comprehensible by reader or target reader, that is to say the target language reader (target reader) in this case is Indonesian. So the translator should choose an appropriate equivalent in Indonesian in order the target reader receives the message that will conveying to the target language translator (TL) from the source language (SL). The objectives study are: 1) describe the translation techniques used in translating words and phrases of the book Active English for Nurses ( AEFN ) from English into Indonesia, 2 ) describe the translations equivalence of words and phrases in the book Active English for Nurses ( AEFN ). The Scope of this study is to discuss and describe the translation techniques used in the translation of words and phrases of the book Active English for Nurses (AEFN), and describes the translation equivalence of words and phrases of bilingual book Active English For Nurses (AEFN) from English into Indonesia, particularly in terms of accuracy.
