From the data above, the phrase pumped up is classified into idiomatic expression in type of compound. According to Dictionary of American Idioms
and Phrasal Verbs, pumped up means excited or physically and mentally ready Spears 525. Meanwhile, according to bilingual dictionary of John M. Echols and
Hassan Shadily, the word pump up means memompa 456.According to the context in this film, Hiro explains Baymax about when people sometimes do the
fist bump. Although the idiom has different meaning from its literary meaning, this idiom in the context actually has meaning to indicate the expression of tense
with excitement and enthusiasm. In this subtitle, the translator translates this idiom into jabat tangan.
From the subtitle translation above, the researcher assumes that the translator’s strategy is in lining with Mona Baker’s theory of translating idiom by
paraphrasing the idiom, but the translation of phrase pumped up in this subtitle is not appropriate with the context. The word jabat tangan on target language does
not indicate the expression of tense with excitement and enthusiasm, but shake hands to each other as a respect manner.

sentence. Thereare someproblemswiththechoice of lexical items. Meanwhile, according to Nababan, a translator should translate the sentence clearly and
effectively. So, by referring to Nababan’s theory of accuracy-rating instrument, it
seems that the translation is considered as a not accurate translation.
As the alternative translation, the researcher suggests that the translator can translate the idiom above into proper meaning on the target language,
bersemangat. In addition to this, bersemangat means ada semangatnya, mengandung semangat, giat, dan gembira Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia.So,
the researcher suggests that the translator can replace …saat orang senang atau
jabat tangan into …saat orang senang atau bersemangat as the alternative
translation. Based on the concept of subtitle translation, the translator’s method
seems not so far different from the theories of subtitling suggested from many sources, such as the principles of subtitling stated by Sayogie, that translation of
subtitling should no more than two lines on screen and the cutting of subtitling translation should consider the grammar and logic in one sentence.
