CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the topic

The job training activity was conducted to fulfill the course requirement in faculty of letters UNIKOM. During the writer job training at Programming & Cooperation Division at Research Center of Water Resource (PUSAIR), the writer found many experiences that gave the writer knowledge in using hyphen mark.

The Hyphen is used to conect the word or part of word in order make the meaning accurate. According to Susan Thurman (2003: p.99) “hyphen divides word at the end of line”. In the translation hyphen may give some difficulties, the usage of hyphen make the words have a difference meaning, for example „ re-cover’ has different meaning with „the recover’. The difference has raised the writer interest to analyze it. Thus to make this observation focus, the paper will be examined on the use of hyphen in the booklet entitle “60 Years of Service for Your Safety and Well-being”.

. 1.2 Scope

This report focuses on the translation of words using hyphen found in the booklet Programming and Cooperation Division at Research Center of Water Resource (PUSAIR). Hyphen makes the meaning in that word clear and can be

understood. However, in translating of word, translator should carefully to find the appropriate lexical equivalent of the word in the target language.

1.3 Objective

1.5 The Framework of the Theory

During job training, the writer translates of the word using hyphen. The hyphen is used between some prefix or word combination. According to Meriam Webster. In his book entitle Pocket Guide to English Usage (1998: p.385) “hyphen is mark separation or division of a ward at the end of line”. The usage of hyphen is to make the meaning clear. In the translation words from source language to target language, the translator should be careful in the lexical equivalent of the words. The words hyphenated in the source language may not be

3

hyphenated in the target language. The most importent things in transalating is transperence a meaning not a form.

As Larson points out that;

“Translation is basically a change of form. When we speak of the form of a language, we are refering to actual word, phrase, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, etc.. Which are spoken or written. These forms are referred to as surface structure of language”.

The quotation above explains that in the translating from source to target language we can change the form. The form of source language may be different from the form of target language. The form can be changed but translator must retain the meaning as in the source language. Thus, hyphenated word be translated into hyphenated word or changed into unhyphenated word or prase.

1.6 Research Method

In this report, the writer uses a descriptive method. According to Zaenal Arifin, S. Amran Tasai in her book entitled Cermat Berbahasa Indonesia (2004, p.128);

“Paragraf deskriptif adalah cara melukiskan apa yang terlihat di depan mata, paragraf ini bersifat tata ruang atau tata letak. Pembicaraannya dapat berurutan dari atas ke bawah atau dari kanan ke kiri. Dengan kata lain, deskriptif berurusan dengan hal hal kecil yang tertangkap oleh pancaindra”.

According to the explanation above, a descriptive method which is used to describe the data comprehensively, then, the writer analyzed the data base on theory of translation.

3.1 „The Translation of Word Using Hyphen in the Booklet entitle „60 Years of Service for Your Safety and Well-being’’

3.1.1 Explanation

During job training the writer was given a task to translate a booklet entitle “60 Years of Service for Your Safety and Well-being” in to Indonesian. When the writer read that booklet the writer found that there is hyphenated word in the text. Hyphen is used to link the words to make the meaning clear. However, sometime hyphen make a different the meaning of word. Thus in making an idiomatic tranlation of the booklet, there are two steps in the translation process. First, the writer found out the meaning of words in the dictionary, and then found the lexical equivalent based on the context to make the idiomatic translation. The steps would be described as follows:

Data 1

Source language Target language

Energy availability determines to a large extent the economic well-being of a population.

Ketersediaan energi menentukan besar adanya kesejahteraan ekonomi pada suatu populasi.

9

In the example above “Energy availability determines to a large extent the economic well-being of a population”. The word “well-being” is used hyphen. The word “well” means “baik” and “being” means “menjadi”. So “well-being” can be translate became to “menjadi baik”. But, “menjadi baik” is a literal translation.

In that case the writer tries to find out the lexical equivalent for that word. Because, in text concern on economical condition on the population, so that the word “kesejahteraan” is the appropriate equivalence in the target language. So the hyphen in “well-being” is not translating into hyphen words again in the target language but in a form of one word since it has the same meaning with “well-being”.

Data 2

Source language Target language

Half of humanity now lives in cities, and within two decades nearly 60 per cent of the word’s people will be urban-dwellers.

Setengah dari umat manusia sekarang tinggal di perkotaan, dan dalam dua dekade hampir 60 persen orang-orang di dunia akan menjadi penduduk kota.

In the example above, the word “urban-dweller” in that sentence uses hyphen. The word “urban” means “kota” and “dweller” means “penduduk”. So “urban-dweller” can be translated in to “kota penduduk”. But that is word for

word translation, and the writer translates that word into “penduduk kota” because that is the lexical equivalent for the word. So, the writer translates the word “urban-dweller” become “penduduk kota”. In this case the target language does not Hyphenated.

Data 3

Source language Target language

WMO also gives special attention to the vulnerable countries, such as landlocked or low-lying ones, as well as to the needs of Small Island Developing States, which are highly vulnerable to natural hazards, long-term climatic variations, impacts of sea-level rise and environmental degradation.

WMO juga memberikan perhatian khusus pada negara-negara rentan, seperti yang terkurung oleh daratan atau salah satunya yang terendah, serta kebutuhan pulau kecil yang berkembang, yang sangat rentan terhadap bahaya alam, variasi iklim jangka panjang, dampak kenaikan permukaan laut dan degradasi lingkungan.

In the above sentence have three examples, there are:

The first, the word “low-laying”, that is “low” means “bawah” and “lying” means “terletak”. So “low-laying” can be translated in to “terletak di bawah”. But this is literal translation.

In that case the writer finds out the lexical equivalent for that word in the dictionary. The text concerns on land, thus, “terendah” is the lexical equivalent of

11

the words. So, the writer translates the word “low-laying” become to “terendah”. The word hyphen in “low-laying” is not translating into hyphen words again in the target language.

The second, the word “long-term” in that sentence, that is “long” means ”panjang” and “term” means “masa”. So “long-term” can be translated in to “masa panjang”. But that is word for word translation, and the writer translates that word into “jangka panjang” because that is the lexical equivalence of the word. So, the writer translates the word “long-term” become to “jangka panjang”. In the target language the word “long-term” is not being hyphenated.

Finally, the word “sea-level” in that sentence, that is “sea” means ”laut” and “level” means “tingkatan”. So “sea-level” can be translated in to “tingkatan laut”. But that is literal translation, and the writer translates that word in to “permukaan laut” because that is the proper lexical equivalent for the word. The target language do not using hyphen in words “permukaan laut”.

3.2 Problem

1. Finding the meaning of the hyphenated words.

3.3 Solution
