CHAPTER VI CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
6.1 Conclusions.
Translating is not an easy task. It is quite difficult and complicated, but the key in making a good translation is not only knowing about the grammar and
vocabularies of both ST and TT but also having a wide knowledge of both the culture from ST and TT in order to make an understandable translation. Reading
the ST over and over also helpful in understanding the message and transfer the message as the way it is in TT.
After analyzing the data both found in ST and TT, there are some conclusions that can be drawn. First, types of equivalence based on Nida’s theory
can be found in the translation of passive verbs in TT. There are 712 cases where 491 cases belong to Formal Equivalence and 221 cases belong to Dynamic
Equivalence. The dominant type is Formal Equivalence with the percentage 68, 97 and the percentage for Dynamic Equivalence is 31, 03 . Second, the passive
verbs in ST sometimes translated into infinitive, adverb, adjective or active verbs due to the effort in making the translation appropriate and suitable with the culture
of TT and to make it understandable for the reader of TT.
6.2 Suggestions.
By analyzing the translation of passive verbs there are a lot of things that can be learnt. It is interesting to see how to make a good and understandable
translation. It is suggested to people who want to take translation as their subject
Universitas Sumatera Utara
for thesis to learn more about the equivalence and discussing not only passive verbs but also any other part of speech like adverb, adjective, or noun. Hopefully,
this thesis can help people to understand the types of Equivalence and attract more to discuss about it.
