Table 3. The Degrees of Meaning Equivalence of the Translation of the English Idiomatic Expressions No. Equivalence of Meaning Frequency Percentage 1. High 85 58.62 2. Medium 17 11.72 3. Low 43 29.66 TOTAL 145 100 The table shows that 85 cases or 58.62 of English idiomatic expressions are categorized into the high degree of meaning equivalence in Bahasa Indonesia as the target language. Meanwhile, only 17 cases or 11.72 are the medium degree. Then, the low degree has 43 cases or 29.66. As a result, it is found that not all expression has complete meaning which is represented as the high degree of meaning equivalence. Some of them are in the medium degree because they have increased meaning or decreased meaning. Even some expressions have only the low degree since they have different meaning or zero meaning. The finding is presented into some tables below. Table 4. The High Degree of Meaning Equivalence of the Translation of the Idiomatic Expressions No. Equivalence of Meaning Frequency Percentage

1. Complete Meaning

85 58.62 TOTAL 85 58.62 From the table it can be seen that complete meaning which is classified into the high degree of meaning equivalence has 85 occurrences or 58.62. In further analysis, it is also found that the medium degree of meaning equivalence occurs in two cases, i.e. increased meaning and decreased meaning. The finding can be seen in the table below. Table 5. The Medium Degree of Meaning Equivalence of the Translation of the Idiomatic Expressions No. Equivalence of Meaning Frequency Percentage 1. Increased Meaning 4 2.76 2. Decreased Meaning 13 8.97 TOTAL 17 11.72 From the total occurrence of the medium degree of meaning equivalence, increased meaning has the frequency of 4 or 2.76 and decreased meaning has 13 cases or 8.97. Then, the last rank of meaning equivalence is the low degree. The low degree of meaning equivalence has two occurrences, i.e. different meaning and zero meaning. The finding is presented into the table below. Table 6. The Low Degree of Meaning Equivalence of the Translation of the Idiomatic Expressions No. Equivalence of Meaning Frequency Percentage 1. Different Meaning 13 8.97 2. Zero Meaning 30 20.68 TOTAL 43 29.66 From the total occurrence of the low degree of meaning equivalence, it is found that different meaning has the frequency of 13 or 8.97 and the occurrences of zero meaning is 30 cases or 20.68.
