To give more explanation and examples, they are stated below. SE
: “Siapa yang banyak memberi warna dalam hidupmu?”
TE :
“Who gives your life the most color?” Datum No.048: 048Mt-MtLTFE
The example above is categorized as metaphor. In the source and target text, there is a comparison presented by the author and the translator, which is ‘color’.
However, this comparison is not seen clearly. The word ‘color’ stands for value of life and meaning of life. According to the example above, it describes someone who
gives the speaker the meaning and value of life. Therefore, the speaker can understand how he should survive to live.
SE :
“Dia telah membuka jendela buat adik-adiknya…” TE
: “…the window she had opened for us all;”
Datum No.54: 054Mt-MtTrPE The example above belongs to metaphor because the author compares directly
between insight and window. The underlined sentence ‘dia telah membuka jendela…’
translated into ‘…the window she had opened…’ stands for the act of giving insight or knowledge which is very important to her siblings.
SE :
“Aku terus mendayung dan di perjalanan ini aku bertemu dengan Mas Yani, seorang sahabat, seorang guru teater SMA
.” TE
: “I kept going through life and as I went I crossed path with Mas Yani, a
fri end and a theatre instructor at the school.”
Datum No.108: 108Mt--ExPE In this example, the sentence ‘aku terusmendayung’ is considered as metaphor
because the speaker compares his life with sailing. The way of his life is similar to the way of sailing. According to the example, each expression is different. In the target
text, metaphor is not translated into metaphor; it is translated into another expression which is categorized as non-figurative language. Explicitation is applied by the
translator to translate the metaphor. Thus, the result of translation product is considered as partly equivalent.
