example, some words are also not translated in the TT the words “my” and
“now”. In this case, those sentences can be said as partly realized.
b. Unrealized Sentences
The table 2 above also shows that the findings about unrealized sentences are only 10 sentences 1.1 unrealized to the TT from a total of 904 sentences.
The unrealized sentences happen because the translator did the omission process, in this case the translator fully omitted the sentences. Usually, sentence
elimination occurs because there is limitation of time and space in running text movie subtitles to the readers.

ST : Therell be none for you, Patsey.
TT : -------------
The dialogue above happens at midnight, dancing and drunken Mr. Epps was there looking at Patsey passionately. At the same time, their mistress brought
cookies and all the slavers ate those cookies, except Patsey. From the beginning, the mistress showed her jealousy and hatred to Patsey. That is why the translator
did not make translation or omission into this sentence because it can be explained by the situation and expression shown during the movie. Another example of
unrealized sentences is provided below.

ST : Your prices don’t reflect your concern.
TT : ----------
This dialogue occurred in the alteration of emotional time. Mr. Epps felt like being smitten by God, his land was full of plague and he should rent his black
slave to someone else to earn money. The sentence above was not translated for some reasons, because of the limitation in time and therefore, in this movie the
translator tried to omit the meaning of the sentence in the TT and changed it by leading the readers into the emotional moment of Mr. Epps’ rudeness. The
translator did not translate it, the translator thinks that the emotional response from the readers is enough to explain the situation and it will also take less time to
read the subtitles.

ST : What you standing there for? TT : ----
This dialogue in the movie occurred very fast. The time is very limited to translate all that Mr. Epps said. The sentence above is said by Mr. Epps when
h
e was mad because Patsey disappeared from her room. He ran out of his house
asking all Niggers who might know where Patsey was. The indignation of Mr. Epps frightened the Niggers and that was why they were only standing without
giving any answer. The frightened faces of the Nigger also explain the meaning and it is the best way to move to another dialogue without omitting the important
dialogue of this movie. The important dialogue refers to the main dialogue explaining the plot of the movie.
