20ST A107
And when her lipsmet mine, I
knew that I could live to be a
hundred and visit every country in
the world, but nothing would
ever compare to that singlemoment
when I first kissed the girl of my
dreamsand knew that my love
would last forever.
20TT A157
Dan saat bibirnya bertemu dengan
bibirku, aku tahu aku bisa hidup
seratus tahun dan mengunjungi semua
negara di dunia, tapi tidak akan ada yang
bisa menandingi momen ketika aku
mencium gadis impianku untuk
pertama kalinya dan tahu bahwa cintaku
akan abadi selamanya.

Three translation strategies are found in this datum. They are,
i. Transposition
The first strategy applied is transposition. It can be seen in the first clause, and when her lips met mine, which translated into dan saat bibirnya
bertemu dengan bibirku, the phrase her lips becomes bibirnya in the TT. This strategy is chosen since the sentence structure in the TT is placing the head of
the phrase before the possessive pronoun. The transposition strategy is also applied in the sentence when I first
kissed the girl of my dreams, which translated into ketika aku mencium gadis impianku untuk pertama kalinya. The word first in the ST is placed after the
subject I, but in the TT, it is in the last part of the sentence, so it becomes the final explanation about the kissing which has happened in that plot of the story.
The word first is placed in the end of the sentence because it is more proper and ordered in the TT, instead of ketika aku pertama kali mencium gadis impianku.
ii. Addition Structural
Addition strategy is applied in the same clause as the previous strategy, which is and when her lips met mine and becomes dan saat bibirnya bertemu
dengan bibirkuin the TT. This strategy is applied to translate the word mine which becomes bibirku. The TT has the additional word bibir to explain
whatmine is in the ST in order to deliver a clear translation, instead of translating this clause into saat bibirnya bertemu dengan milikku, which will confuse the
TT readers.
