The word „fatal‟ is translated into fatal in TL. Actually, in Indonesian based on KBBI fatal has meaning mematikan, or in English, causing or ending in death.
The translator translated the word „fatal‟into fatal because heshe wants to make the reader feels like the original. The word „fatal‟ can also be translated into
mematikan but the translation of fatal is still readable because it carries the
meaning of the SL. The word is rooted of Latin fatalis „ordained by fate‟, from
fatum „sense of causing death‟
http:www.etymonline.com Word “hideous” which is translated into mengerikan of course is not an
exotic method. The word “hideous” here can be classified to communicative method because based on Shadily and Echols‟ English-Indonesian Dictionary,
“hideous” means seram or mengerikan. It is already emphasized on the message meaning. The focus of this data is on the word “fatal” which is translated into
fatal because the exotic nuance is shown in that word, it keeps the originality of
the word. No
