CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1 TheBackground of the Study

Recently the translation has developed quickly. It can be proved thatthe activity of translating the text usually uses the manual system. It means thatthe translation work uses dictionary. The growth of the technology, brings a greatchange to the translation system. Such as the finding of electric dictionary, forexample, that is usually used by putting the button of the tool, automatically theinformation needed will appear immediately. In this case, it is easier, to do thetranslation work.

In doing the translation, a translator must have a skill on translation,because in making a good translation, a professional translator has to beconcerned with transferring the meaning or the message of the SL into TL.Therefore he/she must understand the subject matter of the text in the SL and theknowledge of the equivalent terminology in the TL.Furthermore, every society has a certain language that is different fromother, as stated by Samsuri (1992:10) that “Every language has its own rule insound and its rules, a word and its form, a sentence and its structure”. Thisstatement means that language has several varieties, like variety of social situationor it can be said that language is different for every context.Language used bypeople, some of them use figurative language wether it is realized or not.

2

Human beings are social creaturest, means that they cannot be separated from human life. In our environment the people can express their idea, feeling, suggestion, agreement, disagreement, happines, sadness with do communicate with the people around them. Learning a foreign language is different from learning one‟s mother tongue. A foreign language learner will meet many of difficulties in learning target language. It is not easy for the beginner because they tend to learn a target language in the same ways as what they have learned in their native language.

English gives many advantages that it helps Indonesian people to keep up with the development of the world, especially in broadening their knowledge, not only in scientific and technological fields but also in art, literature, and entertainment. In Indonesia, many books that are written in English are sold. They are not only reference books but also n ovel. Novel is a form of literature thathas a theme, setting, point of view,plot, character, andstyle in which there are cultural values, morals, and education. A novel is a long essay pose, which contains a series of stories of one‟s life with those around him by accentuating the character

and nature of the off ender. Literary works can not be separated by the process of translating, because the novelis outside the country and sold in

Indonesia will be translated into Indonesian. For suitability meaning of the source language (SL)and the target language (TL) sometimes forces the language so that the meaning was acceptable.

3

Translation is a target text written as a result of the translator‟s comprehension of source text. However, as Nida states that since no two languages are identical, either in the meanings given to corresponding symbols or in the ways in which such symbols are arranged in phrases and sentences, it stands to reason that there can be no absolute correspondence between languages (in Venuti, 2000). Besides, Barnwell (1983) also states that a good translation should be accurate, clear and natural so it does not sound foreign. In translating the novel is not easy task. Translation as a result should look nice and coherent for reading. Therefore, to get a good translation, translator should master in both source and target language. There are competencies should be possessed by translator, they are language competence, textual competence, subject competence, cultural competence, and transfer competence.

Translating is very important to get the information and new discovery. Without translating, the scientist might be missed it. They cannot follow the development of science, in addition if they disable to read in foreign language. Translation is the replacement of textual material in one language (SL) by equivalence textual material in another language (TL) see (Catford, 1969:20) in(Sutopo and Candraningrum, 2001:1). Nida and Taber in their book The Theory and Practice ofTranslation in Widyamartaya (1989:11) states that “translating consist in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalence of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style”.

4

In the process of translation , the translator must be careful in examining the source language. He or she has to consider many things whwn he or she wants to start transferring it into the target language . He or she must realize that it is different thing between the source culture and target culture. If he or she has to translate a word or sentence, which contains the cultural aspect of a country, he or she has to find its equivalence in the target language that is suitable and has the same sense in the source language.

It is different in translating literary texts and non-literary texts. Since literacy texts are concerned with the world of the imagination and are centered in human beings, sometimes reflected in their physical characteristics and theirs natural and climatic backgrounds, whilst non – literacy texts describe the facts of reality, modified by human intelligence. The translator cannot take literacy language at its „face‟ singular denotative value, and has to bear second often multiple connotative meaning in mind.

Larson, For example, dividing the translation into translation based on meaning ( meaning-based translation) and translation is based on forms ( form-based translation ). A literal translation which is form-based on or put the form according to Larson and a free can at equivalence with a translation based on meaning.

While Nida and Taber devides translation into a literal and dynamic translation. The literal translation does not reveal the meaning of the source language in the target language. Transferred into the target language is the language of the source , not the meaning contained in the source language.

5

Dynamic translation was intended to produce a dynamic equivalent ( dynamic equivalence ) in the target language. Basically a dynamic equivalent translation refers to the nature of that transfer messages contained in the original text so that the response of people who read or hear the original text.

In translating English novels, such as reduction changes, addition and modification from the intrinsic element of the novel is often unavoidable. As a novel source language into target language dubbed, not all words can be changed just like that. To discover what changes are made from English novels, we can do a comparison ( analysis ) from the English versions of the Indonesian language.

Figurative meaning is langauges used with a meaning that is different from the basic meaning and that it expresses an idea in an interesting way by using language that usually describe something else or something impossible in order to achieve special effect or meaning. People required knowledge of language in order to interpret the figurative meaning and to differentiate from the literal meaning. Language can be used to stretch people‟s imagination, to make the impossible sound possible. And to bring abstract ideas to life. People prefer using language figuratively in order to make their language more beautiful, interesting and stylish. It can help making the listeners or the readers feel the language deeply and are touched by it.

In study by Putu Ayu (2012) is attempted to find out the types figurative language in the song lyric‟s by adele and analyze the contextual meaning of the figurative language used in the song lyrics. The finding of Putu Ayu‟s study is concluded that there are eight kinds of figurative languages found in four songs of

6

Adele, they are personification, metaphor, synecdoche, hyperbole, allusion, paradox, symbols and dead metaphor. It proved that the song writer use the figurative language in order to make her creation in this case the songs look alive so the listener can feel the condition that the song writer tried to show in that song. The use of the contextual meaning in this study also opens up all the meanings and the purposes from four song lyrics by adele. But unfortunately this study did not describe the process of translation and describe types of figurative language itself.

In Indonesia, people are easy to find many English novels from the famous novelist, like Catching Fire. Catching Fire is best known novelist today for his existingpopular novels, with his works such as: The Hunger Games Book 1 and The Hunger Games Book 2. Almost all his novels have been number-one international best seller.

Figurative language is used to get what their say more vividly and forcefully. It cause language become more imaginative and it adds the intensity of speakerfeeling to convey the attitude.In the novel Catching Fire” By Suzanne Collinsthe writer analyzed,they also use figurative language. The researcher compares the figurative expressionfrom SL and its translation in target language.

Figurative language force the readers to attend the connotative rather thanto the denotative that make their thoughts and feeling are dealing with theirimaginative and experience of figurative language, translator can be moreunderstand by looking at the context of situation. In this case every translator usesthe type of different translation that can make the variation in the target

7

language.Knowing that there are differences in language system, a translator of novel “Tersulut”, make some variations as thefigurative language translation in “Catching Fire” novel, for example:

1. a. SL: But instead I sit, as motionless as the rock beneath me

b. TL: Tapi aku malahan duduk tak bergerak sama diamnya seperti batu besar yang kududuki.

2. a. SL: The shoes pinch my toes as I crunch along the cinder street.

b. TL: . Sepatu ini menggigit jari-jari kakiku ketika aku melangkah di jalanan yang berlapiskerak batubara

In the preliminary data above that there are some variations in Figurativelanguage translation from English into Indonesian. In point 1 a, the sentence shows simile in figurative language sentences but instead I sit, as motionless as the rock beneath me is translated into 1 b, Tapi aku malahan duduk tak bergerak sama diamnya seperti batu besar yang kududuki. In point 2 a, the sentence shows metaphor in figurative language phrases the shoes pinch my toes as I crunch along the cinder streety is translated into point 2b,sepatu ini menggigit jari-jari kakiku ketika aku melangkah dijalanan yang berlapis kerak batubara.

Based on the phenomenon described above, the researcher wants to describe ananalysis of translation of English figurative language in one of Suzanne Collins‟s novel,Catching Fire and presented in the form of thesis entitled: Translation of English Figurative Language in the novel “Catching Fire” into Bahasa Indonesia.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

5.1 Conclusion

Figurative languages are languages which used to enhance the effect of what it is being said, and it cannot be taken directly. The purposes of figurative languages are to express of someone thought, to emphasize personal situation, and to entertain the readers. The data which is analyzed are the word, phrase, clause, or sentence in Catching Fire novel.

From the analysis of the figurative language and translation method in both English and Indonesian version, some conlusion can be drawn as follows: 1. Based on the data analysis that has been found in the research about figurative languages data categorized into 86 dataof overstatement, 37 data of personification, 21 data of simile, 21 data of understatement, 19 dataof metaphor, 16 dataof Irony of Situation and 4 dataof Symbol. From the result of this data it is clear that the dominant figurative language in the novel is overstatement. The researcher was founded 204 figurative language in Catching Fire novel. So, the researcher only focused on 7 types of figurative language which were founded in Catching Firenovel.

2. Based on the theory proposed by Newmark (1988) there are 8 types of translation method but the researcher only focused on 2 types of translation method, they are Literal translation method and communicative translation method.

81

3. The dominant method were applied in Catching Fire novel was literal translation method. Thereasonoftranslatorappliedit because in general, the literal translated by is a translated by which prioritizes the equivalent of word or expression in the TL or in expressions that have a reference or meaning of the same word or expression in the SL and because according to Newmark, the literal translated by could be translated by word for word, phrase by phrase, clause by clause or even sentence by sentence.

5.2 Suggestions

From the data analysis and conlusion above, the researcher would like to give some sugestions as follows:

1. To teacher

Teacher need to inform students that figurative language is very important and based on the meaning, Figurative language should be recognized as the important element because the meaning of figurative language itself is predictable.

2. To language learner

This study can be used by the learners or university students to improve their ability to translate figurative language in sentence. Then will be able to more easily understand the intention of writing a literary work

3. To other researcher

To explore a more detailed analysis of translating figurative language in complex clause. This will be able to help the strength and the significance of this kind of translation which is to provide a critical tool for the analysis of translating figurative language.
