ABSTRACT DARSONO, LANNY. The Study of Acceptability and Translation Strategy of Romantic Elements in Nicholas Sparks’ Dear John. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Sanata Dharma University, 2015. This undergraduate thesis discusses the acceptability and the translation strategy applied in the romantic elements found in Nicholas Sparks’ Dear John. This topic is chosen because translating romantic elements in some works may result in a different understanding between the source text readers and target text readers. It is because both of the languages have different cultural backgrounds, therefore, the readers surely have their own perspective. There are two problems to be analyzed in this thesis. The first is how acceptable the translation of the romantic elements done by Barokah Ruziati. After finding the result of the first problem, then, the second problem is ready to be analyzed. The second problem is about the translation strategy applied in translating the romantic elements. This research was conducted through field research. The field research aimed to see the acceptability of the romantic elements translation by distributing questionnaire to the ten respondents. Some related studies and theories for supporting this undergraduate thesis were also applied, so that it becomes scientifically proven. The result of the first problem about the acceptability is that the translation of romantic elements in Dear John is acceptable with the final score 1.3 out of 3. This result is based on the questionnaires which were distibuted to the ten respondents, also the acceptability indicator and score assessment proposed by M. R. Nababan. The second and the last result in this study is that there are seven translation strategies applied in the translation of the romantic elements. There are Transposition (29%), Synonym (19%), Subtraction (15%), Modulation (13%), Addition (Stucture) (8%), Addition (Semantic) (8%), and the last, Omission (8%). In the end, the researcher concludes that the translation is considered acceptable because the translator has applied the appropriate translation strategy and she is succeed in delivering the message of the story to the target text readers.

ABSTRAK DARSONO, LANNY. The Study of Acceptability and Translation Strategy of Romantic Elements in Nicholas Sparks’ Dear John. Yogyakarta: Program Studi Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Sanata Dharma, 2015. Skripsi ini membahas tentang keberterimaan dan strategi penerjemahan yang diterapkan dalam menerjemahkan unsur romantik yang terdapat dalam novel Dear John karya Nicholas Sparks. Topik ini dipilih karena hasil terjemahan unsur romantik pada sebuah karya dapat menuai berbagai macam pemahaman yang berbeda antara pembaca bahasa sasaran maupun pembaca bahasa sumber. Keberagaman pemahaman ini dipicu oleh perbedaan latar belakang budaya di antar kedua bahasa tersebut, sehingga dapat dipastikan bahsa para pembaca dari masing-masing bahasa memiliki perspektifnya sendiri-sendiri. Dalam skripsi ini terdapat dua masalah. Masalah yang pertama adalah bagaimana keberterimaan dari terjemahan unsur romantik yang diterjemahkan oleh Barokah Ruziati tersebut. Setelah menemukan jawaban dari rumusan masalah yang pertama, maka masalah yang kedua, mengenai strategi penerjemahan yang diterapkan dalam menerjemahkan unsur romantik, dapat langsung dianalisa. Skripsi ini diselesaikan menggunakan metode studi lapangan dan metode studi pustaka. Metode studi lapangan bertujuan untuk melihat keberterimaan dari terjemahan unsur romantik melalui pembagian kuesioner kepada 10 orang responden. Studi-studi tertentu yang terkait dan beberapa dasar-dasar teori juga digunakan untuk mendukung skripsi ini, sehingga skripsi ini dapat dipertanggungjawabkan secara ilmiah. Hasil akhir dari rumusan masalah ynag pertama mengenai keberterimaan adalah bahwa terjemahan unsur romantik novel Dear John ini dapat diterima dengan skor akhir 1.3 dari 3. Hasil akhir ini didapatkan berdasarkan kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada 10 orang responden dan juga indikator keberterimaan dan skor penilaiannya yang diajukan oleh M. R. Nababan. Sedangkan hasil dari rumusan masalah yang kedua, ditemukan bahwa terdapat tujuh strategi penerjemahan yang diterapkan oleh penerjemah. Berikut rinciannya, Transposisi (29%), Sinonim (19%), Pengurangan (15%), Modulasi (13%), Penambahan (Struktural) (8%), Penambahan (Semantik) (8%), dan yang terakhir Penghapusan, yang juga diterapkan sebanyak 8%. Peneliti dapat menyimpulkan bahwa terjemahan dianggap dapat diterima karena penerjemah yang mampu menerapkan strategi penerjemahan yang sesuai dan dia mampu menyampaikan pesan dari cerita kepada pembaca bahasa sasaran dengan sukses.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

A.

Background of the Study Many English literary works are translated into various target languages.

Bahasa Indonesia is one of the target language used to translate English literary works. In order to set a good and acceptable translation, a translator has to understand the culture of the source language and the target language, so that the target language readers will still grasp what the author wants to say.As reiterated by Nida and Taber(1969) in Suryawinata and Hariyanto that, Translating consists of reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style (2003:12). A translator has to focus and creative on looking for the most natural translation as possible and also the style used from the source language into the target language. As stated by Bell, acceptability is the producers of the text must intend it to contribute towards some goals (giving/demanding information/goods-andservices) and the receiver of it must accept that it is, indeed, fulfilling some such purpose (1991:167).An acceptable translation text contains the samemessages from the author even though it is possible to be written differently in the target language because the translator has to maintain his/her translation to be as natural as possible for the target language readers. Understanding the acceptability and also the translation strategy of the translation are really

1


2

beneficial, because those will prove whether or not the target language readers understand and receive the same messages as the source language readers do. A translator has to know the characteristics of each culture and also has to be able to transfer and apply the culture of the source language into the culture of the target language. According to Larson (1988:3), there are three steps in tranlating a text, which are; 1. Learning the lexicon, grammatical structure, communication situation, and cultural context from the source language, 2. Analyzing the source language in order to find the meaning, 3. Restating the same meaning using lexicon and grammatical structure which appropriate to the target language and its cultural context. Based on those three statements, there are some linguistic aspects that need to be concerned in translating a text, such as lexicon, grammatical structure, communicatuon situation, and cultural context of both the source and target language. Other aspects needed to be counted in translation are the acceptability and also its translation strategy in the target language. In order to conduct the research of theacceptability and translation strategy,Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear Johnand its Bahasa Indonesia version, which is also entitled Dear John and translated by Barokah Ruziati will be used. Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John is chosen because it is a romance fiction novel which absolutely contains a lot of romance elements and later on will be analyzed further in this thesis. Here, what is meant by romance elements are some parts in the novel perceived as romantic or can be described as the application of love, affection, and care from one to another, so that the readers will also be able to


3

feel the connection and the special feeling between the two main characters in the novel. Romantic elements are choosen because romance is something which is very common in our life, especially for the readers whose aged usually around late-teenage (18 – 22 years old) to adult. Romance is indeed an endless topic. Happiness, trust, faithfulness, promise, jealousy, anger, sadness, waiting, hope, etc., can be found in almost all of works of art whose topic is romance. There are a lot of source about romance. Besides Nicholas Sparks‟ works, there are Jane Austen‟s, John F. Wright‟s, Kate Thompson‟s, Dewi Lestari‟s for Indonesia author, etc. Romance can be expressed in various way and style, and in English, it has its own language style in describing the romantic elements. It will be quite challenging for the translator to transfer the English romantic sentences into Bahasa Indonesia, which both surely have different cultural background. The thesis also analyzes whether in Bahasa Indonesia version, those romantic sentences in English still can be accepted for the target language readers. The term accepted here means that the sense of beauty and romance in the story not become over-romantic sense when it is transferred into Bahasa Indonesia, because usually, when it comes to romance, in English the feeling of romance and love can be very touching, but when it is translated into Bahasa Indonesia, the value and the sense of romance become faded and the readers will possibly feel that the story is over-romantic, then in the end it results different perspective or understanding between the source language readers and the target language readers.


4

The different understanding of the meaning from the source to target language has to be avoided by the translator. For example, “You are one lovesick puppy” (2006:144) translated into “Kau sudah jadi budak cinta” (2010:206); “I was head over heels crazy about Savannah” (2006:144), becomes “Aku tergila-gila setengah mati pada Savannah” (2010:206). Those two pairs of quotations are translated quite different from the target language. This kind of case will be the point in discussing the acceptability of the translation, since the results of the translation are different from the real meaning of the source language. The translations can be different, but they have to be as natural as possible for the target language cultural background which surely influences the target readers understanding. The romance part in this novel can be found when the plot of the story is focusing in the part when the main character is with his girlfriend and also when he is away from her. In the romance part, there are a lot of good and beautiful sentences that refer to the love story of the main character and his girlfriend, such as, “I was head over heels crazy about Savannah” (2006:144), “You‟re a rare gentleman, John, and I treasure that about you” (2006:138), “The sensation of her skin against mine was like fire, and we began to make love” (2006:172), “I slipped my hand into hers knowing that I love her not only more than the last time I‟d seen her, but more than I would ever love anyone” (2006:153). This study of the translation strategies and the acceptability that are in Sparks‟ Dear John and its IndonesiantranslationDear John by Barokah Ruziati is worth to be done. It is because by seeing the translation from the aspects of the


5

strategies and acceptability, this thesisresults in the finding whether the target language version is acceptable for the target language readers or not and still have the same value as the source language version. B. Problem Formulation In this part, the researcher states two problems which become the focuses in this research. The two problems are in the following. 1. How is the acceptability of the translation of romance elements in Sparks‟ Dear John? 2. Whattranslation strategies areused in translating the romance elements in Sparks‟ Dear John after knowing how acceptable those are? C. Objectives of the Study This study analyzes the translation process and result. This study usesDear John in English version and Dear John in Bahasa Indonesia edition, which is translated by Barokah Ruziati. Firstly, this study analyzed the acceptability of Dear John in Bahasa Indonesia version. Secondly, after finding out how acceptable the translation is, this study identified the translation strategies used by Barokah Ruziati in translating Dear John English version into Bahasa Indonesia. D. Definition of Terms This part contains some definition of terms which frequently applied in this research. Acceptability:According to Bell, acceptability is the producers of the text must intend it to contribute towards some goals (giving/demanding


6

information/goods-and-services) and the receiver of it must accept that it is, indeed, fulfilling some such purpose (1991:167). In Basil Hatim‟s Teaching and Researching Translation, Toury states that acceptability is a function to the adherence to those norms and conventions (both linguistic-textual and literaryaesthetic) which operate in the target system (2001:147). Romantic elements: As stated by Abrams, romance is said to present life as we would have it be – more picturesque, fantastic, adventurous, or heroic than actuality (1999:260), while romanticism is defined by Britannica Encyclopedia as a certain characteristics such as a deepened appreciation of the beauties of nature; a general exaltation of emotionover reason and of the senses over intellect (http://www.britannica.com/art/Romanticism). Therefore, romantic elements are defined as the intense emotion or feeling of affection, endearment, and passion between the two persons. Translation: Newmark in his Approaches to Translation states translation is a craft consisting in the attempt to replace a written message and/or statement in one language by the same message and/or statement in another language (1981:7). Translation strategy: In Suryawinata‟s Translation: Bahasan Teori & Penuntun Praktis Menerjemahkan, translation strategy is defined as a translator‟s tactic to translate a word, a phrase, or even a complete sentence if that certain sentence cannot be disunited into a smaller unit (2003:67).


CHAPTER II REVIEW OF LITERATURE This chapter elaborates the theses done by other researchers on similar topics and some theories which are applied in the thesis. The theses which are similar to this thesis are Lengari‟s, Sanusi‟s, and Nugroho‟s. Each of the thesis is reviewed to find the similarities and also the differences in order to avoid topics duplication. Some theories used to conduct this thesis are also reviewed. A. Review of Related Studies 1.

Lengari’s thesis “The Accuracy, Acceptability, and Translation Strategies of Indonesian Metaphors Translation in Twilight” This undergraduate thesis discusses the accuracy, acceptability, and

translation strateies used by Devita Sari, the translator of Twilight, in translating the metaphors. The English metaphors are often difficult to translate into Bahasa Indonesia because of the different culture and background from both of the languages. Therefore, the translator has to be able to deliver the English metaphors well, so that the target text readers can get the same message as the source text readers. Lengari‟s analysis is to find out whether the translation of English metaphors is accurate and accpetable or not, and also the strategies applied after finding the accuracy and the acceptability of the English metaphors in the novel. This present thesis is different in some aspects. However, Lengari‟s is similar to this present thesis in dealing with translation strategies and acceptability. The different aspects are this present thesis is not analyzing the accuracy of the translation and the data used to conduct this present thesis. This

7


8

present thesis uses the translation of the romance elements in Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John. 2.

Sanusi’s thesis “The Indonesian Translation of English Culturally Loaded Words in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: A Study on Accuracy, Acceptability, and Strategies Applied” This undergraduate thesis discusses the accuracy, acceptability, and

strategies applied of the English culturally loaded words in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Sanusi analyzes whether the accuracy of the translation is acceptable by the target text readers or not. Then, she tries to find the strategies applied to translate the culturally loaded words after finding the accuracy and the acceptability of the translation. This thesis is different from this present thesis. This present thesis does not analyzing the acuracy of the translation. It analyzes the translation strategies applied and the acceptability of the translation. It is also different in the process of finding the translation strategy. It determines the translation strategies applied first, then from the translation strategies that are found, it will analyzes whether the translation using that certain translation strategies is acceptable or not to the target text readers. 3.

Nugroho’s thesis “The Translation of English Song “Shout to the Lord” into “Nyanyi dan Bersoraklah” in Bahasa Indonesia: A Study of Its Accuracy, Aceptability, Readability, and Style” This undergraduate thesis discusses the accuracy, acceptability,

readability, and style in the translation of the English song Shout to the Lord.


9

The translation of the song is not really common to many people. Whereas, there some songs in Bahasa Indonesia which actually originated from English. The translation of the song is also not really easy, because when it comes to song, there are a lot of aspects need to be considered. Things like rhyme, rhythm, and other musical aspects become the consideration of the translator in translating the English song, Nugroho‟s study is different from this present thesis. The distinction is that this present thesis does not analyze the accuracy and readability of the translation. In his thesis, Nugroho is also studying about the style of the musical devices on the song, which absolutely cannot be applies in this present thesis‟ data. B. Review of Related Theories 1.

Theory of Translation As stated by Newmark on his Approaches to Translation, translation is a

craft consisting in the attempt to replace a written message and/or statement in one language by the same message and/or statement in another language (1981:7). Then, Catford in Suryawinata (2003:11) describes translation as the replacement of textual material in one language by equivalent textual material in another language. Nida and Taber also state that translating consists of reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style (1974:14).


10

Those definitions of translation can be concluded as a replacement of a same text in a source language into a same text but in the target language. The message contained in the text does not change either. 2.

Theory of Acceptability Bell in his Translation and Translating: Theory and Practice, states

thatacceptability is the producers of the text must intend it to contribute towards some goals (giving/ demanding information/ goods-and-services) and the receiver of it must accept that it is, indeed, fulfilling some such purpose (1991:167). In Basil Hatim‟s Teaching and Researching Translation, Toury (1980) states that acceptability is a function to the adherence to those norms and conventions (both linguistic-texutual and literary-aesthetic) which operate in the target system (2001:147). The acceptability of a translation can be seen through the indicator and scoring system which is stated by Nababan. Below, this is the acceptability indicator table, Table 2.1 Acceptability Indicator Score 1

Indicator The content of the ST is conveyed acceptably to the TT. The sentences can be understood clearly. Rewriting is not needed.

The content of the ST is conveyed acceptably to the ST. The sentences can be understood clearly, but a little restructuring and rewriting are needed. The content of the ST is not conveyed to the TT. Some 3 problems related with diction and meaning of a metaphor in the TT. Some restructuring and rewriting are needed. (Nababan, 2004:54-66; modified) 2


11

Then below is the acceptability scoring system, Table 2.2 Acceptability Score Score 1 – 1,6 1,7 – 2,3 2,4 – 3 (Nababan, 2004:54-65; modified)

Acceptability Acceptable Quite Acceptable Unacceptable

Those acceptability indicator and scoring system later will be used to help the writer in determining whether the translation of the romance elements is acceptable or not. 3.

Theory of Translation Strategy According to Suryawinata and Hariyanto, translation strategy is a

technical guidance to translate phrase by phrase or sentence by sentence (2003:67). Translation strategy is needed by a translator to help them translate many kinds of texts. There are two main kinds of translation strategy as stated by Suryawinata andHariyanto, they are structural strategy and semantic strategy. a.

Structural Strategy Structural strategy is required to result a correct structure in the TT

(Target Text), so that the translation becomes acceptable by the TT readers. i.

Addition This strategy is applied by adding word(s) in the TT because of the

grammatical structure of the TT (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:67). For example, ST: Kakakku dokter. TT: My brother is a doctor


12

The auxiliary is and the article a is added in the TT for the sake of the correct grammatical structure in the TT. ii.

Subtraction Subtraction strategy done by subtracting the structural element in the TT.

For example, ST: You should go home. TT: Kamu mesti pulang. The word go in the ST is subtracted in the TT, because go is the structural element in the ST which is not needed in the TT (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:68). iii.

Transposition According to Suryawinata and Hariyanto (2003), this strategy can be

done based on the translator‟s obligation or the translator‟s choice. It is applied based on the obligation when the message of the ST is not well-delivered to the TT, but when it is based on the translator‟s choice, then it is applied only for the language style, and without utilizing this strategy, the point from the ST is already well-delivered. As reiterated by Newmark in Suryawinata and Hariyanto, this strategy changes the form of plural into singular, the position of adjectives, and even the structure of the whole sentence. For example, ST: Musical instuments can be divided into two basic groups. TT: Alat musik bisa dibagi menjadi dua kelompok dasar. The positions of two phrases in the ST, which are musical instruments and two basic groups, have changed. In the ST, the modifier, or in this case the adjective, comes first, before the head of the phrase. While in the TT, the


13

position of the phrase has to be changed. The position of the modifier, or the adjective, comes after the head. The other things can be found in the example before is the use of plural words instruments and groups in the ST, which are translated becomes singular words. The word instruments becomes alat, and groups becomes kelompok. Transposition can also be applied to reverse the whole sentence form. For example, ST: It is a great mistake to keep silent about the matter. TT: Berdiam diri tentang masalah itu merupakan kesalahan besar. The position of the two clauses is reversed. This strategy is applied in the sentence because the sentence structure in the ST is not apropriate in the TT. This strategy can be applied for the sake of language style in the TT. In English, a sentence can consist of some clauses and its meaning is still clear and understandable. While in Bahasa Indonesia, a sentence will not be understandable if there are more than two clauses in it (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:69). For example, ST

: Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which can exceed 30 m in length, is the largest animal to have lived on earth. Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important differences in its external structure: its tail consists of a pair of broad, flat, horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single nostril on the top of its large, broad head. TT 1 : Beberapa spesies sangatlah besar dan paus biru, yang bisa mencapai panjang lebih dari 30 meter, adalah binatang terbesar yang pernah hidup di bumi. Sepintas ikan paus tampak mirip ikan biasa, namun bila dicermati terdapat perbedaan pokok pada struktur luarnya: ekornya terdiri dari sepasang “sirip” lebar, pipih, dan mendatar (ekor ikan tegak) dan ia mempunyai satu lubang hidung di atas kepalanya yang besar dan lebar. TT 2 : Beberapa spesies sangatlah besar. Ikan paus biru, yang bisa mencapai panjang lebih dari 30 meter, adalah binatang terbesar yang


14

pernah hidup di bumi. Sepintas ikan paus tampak mirip ikan biasa, namun bila dicermati terdapat perbedaan pokok pada struktur luarnya.Ekornya terdiri dari sepasang “sirip” lebar, pipih, dan mendatar (sementara ekor ikan biasa tegak). Ikan paus mempunyai satu lubang hidung di atas kepalanya yang besar dan lebar (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:70). In the TT 1, the transposition of the adjective is done, but the strategy is not applied in the level of sentence. While in TT 2, the sentence from the ST is divided into two or more sentence in the TT and as we can see, the TT 2 results a clearer translation than the TT 1 (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:68-70; translated). b. Semantic Strategy This strategy is applied for the meaning consideration. This strategy can be utilized in words, phrases, clauses, and even sentences (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:70). There are nine strategies which included in semantic strategy. Those nine strategies are: i.

Borrowing Borrowing is a strategy which brings certain words from the ST into the

TT. This strategy is applied in order to appreciate that certain words. There two kinds of borrowing, they are transliteration and naturalization. Transliteration is the kind of strategy that keeps the ST words in the original form (the sound and the spelling) when it is translated into the TT. For example, the word mall in the ST becomes mall also in the TT. While the naturalization is the adaptation form of words in the ST into the TT. In naturalization, the pronunciation and the spelling adjust the language rule in the TT. It can be seen from the example stated by Suryawinata and


15

Hariyanto, the word sandal in English is translated into sandal also in Bahasa Indonesia. In English, it is pronounced as /sӕndl/, while in Bahasa Indonesia, it is pronounced as /sandal/ (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:70-71). ii.

Cultural Equivalent According to Suryawinata and Hariyanto, this strategy is applied by

replacing the typical word in the ST with the typical word in the TT. This strategy is needed sometime since both of the languages may have different cultural beackground. This strategy may result a different meaning in the TT, nonetheless, the TT readers will grasp the point text easier because the typical word in the TT itself is common to be used in the TT. For example: ST: Minggu depan Jaksa Agung Andi Ghalib akan berkunjung ke Swiss. TT: Next week the Attorney General Andi Ghalib will visit Switzerland (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:72). Based on the example above, the phrase Jaksa Agung is translated into Attorney General instead of Great Attorney. It is because in the TT, there is no phrase Great Attorney for explaining Jaksa Agung. iii.

Descriptive Equivalent and Componential Analysis Newmark in Suryawinata and Hariyanto (2003:73) reiterates that this

equivalence tries to describe the meaning and function from the ST word. This descriptive equivalent is chosen because the particular word in the ST is so related to the culture in the ST, and it is considerednot equivalent by applying the cultural equivalent strategy. This strategy is usually placed on the glossary. Suryawinata and Hariyanto in their book propose an example, the word samurai in Japanese (ST) cannot be translated into kaum bangsawan in the TT when the


16

text is about Japanese culture. Therefore, this strategy has to be applied. The word samuarai should be translated into aristokrat Jepang pada abad XI sampai XIX yang menjadi pegawai pemerintahan. Another strategy which similar to descriptive equivalent is componential analysis strategy. This strategy is applied when the ST word is translated into the TT word by giving detail explanation of the meaning in the TT words. The descriptive equivalent is chosen to translate the words related to culture, while the componential analysis is applied to translate the general words. For example: ST: Gadis itu menari dengan luwesnya. TT: The girl is dancing with great fluidity and grace (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:73). By applying the componential analysis strategy, the word luwes is translated becomes with great fluidity and grace, hence, the TT readers will be easier to imagine and understand what luwes is. iv.

Synonym According to Newmark, the word „synonym‟ in the sense of near target

language equivalent to an source language word in a context, where a precise equivalent may or may not exist (1988:84). This strategy is used by applying the similar word to the ST in the TT. ST: What a cute baby you‟ve got! TT: Alangkah lucunya bayi Anda! (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:73). The word cute is translated into lucu. Thsoe two words are synonymous. The word cute indicates tininess, beauty or handsomeness, and pleasant to play


17

with, while the word lucu indicates that the kid is really attractive, therefore he/she are pleasant to play with. v.

Official Translation As stated by Suryawinata and Hariyanto (2003), in translating the formal

text, the translator needs to refer to Pedoman Pengindonesiaan Nama dan Kata Asing(1995), published by Pusat Pengembangan dan Pembinaan Bahasa, Departement of Education, Republic ocf Indonesia. For example, as proposed by Suryawinata and Hariyanto, the phrase read-only memory, is translated into memori simpan tetap. By applying this strategy, the translator is able to save time and also participate in giving the direction of Bahasa Indonesia development (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003: 74). vi.

Narrowing and Broadening Narrowing means a word component in the ST is being narrowed. For

example, in the ST there is automobile, then it is translated into mobil in the TT. The word automobile undergoes narrowing strategy. Meanwhile, broadening means a word is being expanded in the TT. For example, the word whale in the ST, becomes ikan paus in the TT. The word ikan is added in the TT, because the word paus in the TT means the leader of Catholic in the whole world. vii.

Addition This is different from the addition strategy which is in the structural

strategy. This addition strategy is applied for the meaning clarity. By applying this strategy, the translator adds the additional information inside the translation


18

because that addition is considered needed by the TT readers. As stated by Newmark in Suryawinata and Hariyanto (2003:74), the additional information can be placed inside the text, or on the footer of the page as a footer. For example: ST: The skin, which is hard and scaly, is grayish in color, thus helping to camouflage it from the predators when underwater. TL:Kulitnya, yang keras dan bersisik, berwarna abu-abu. Dengan demikian, kulit ini membantunya berkamuflase, menyesuaikan diri dengan keadaan lingkungan untuk menyelamatkan diri dari predator, hewan pemangsa, jika berada di dalam air (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:75). According to the example above, the words camouflage and predator are borrowing from the ST, and in the TT, there are additional information about both words. Addition strategy can also be applied for the sake of stylistic or the smoothness of the sentence. For example: ST: “Tetapi bagaimana si Dora? Dia sudah terima itu cincin?” (Burungburung Manyar, 8) TT: “But what about Dora” I asked my friend. “Did she get the ring?” (The Weaverbirds, 16) A clause I asked my friend is added in the TT in order to result a smooth and proper sentence (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:75). viii.

Omission and Deletion Omission means there is a part of the ST which is not translated in the

TT, so that it becomes omitted in the TT. For example: ST: “Sama dengan raden ayu ibunya,” katanya lirih. TT: “Just like her mother,” she whispered (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:75).


ix.

19

Modulation As stated by Newmark in Suryawinata and Hariyanto (2003:75), this

strategy is applied when the translator has different perspective from the author in translating the ST. This strategy is chosen when the literal translation is considered not resulting an acceptable tranlastion. For example: ST: I broke my leg TT: Kakiku patah (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003: 76). Based on the example, the translator emphasizes to the object, which is kaki, not from the subject as in the ST, which is saya or I. Based on those theories, the writer will be able to analyze what translation strategies used by the translator in translating the romance elements of Sparks‟ Dear John. C. Theoretical Framework The definitions of translation as stated by Newmark, Catford, and Nida and Taber, the acceptability indicators and scoring by Nababan, and then the theory of translation strategy as described by Suryawinata and Hariyanto are used as the ground theory of this present thesis. The translation definition from those three authors will help the writer to focus on the main topic of this present thesis, which is translation. Theacceptability indicators and scoring system from Nababan will be applied to answer the first problem, it is applied as guidance in analyzing, calculating, and determining the acceptability of the translation, while the theory of translation strategy from Suryawinata and Hariyanto, is needed to answer the second problem. It will be used to analyze and determine what translation strategies are chosen by the translator.


CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY A. Areas of the Research The research area used in this study was text analysis and translation. It focused on the acceptability of the Bahasa Indonesia translation of Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John done by Barokah Ruziati and also the translation strategies used after finding the acceptab5ility of the translation. Based on the research area of text analysis and translation, this study focused in comparing the translation to its source text. As it is stated by Williams and Chesterman, that the analysis of translated texts invloves the textual comparison of a translation with its original (2002:6). B. Object of the Study This study analyzed the romantic elements in Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John. In order to conduct this analysis, English version Dear John by Nicholas Sparks and Indonesian version, translated by Barokah Ruziati would be required. Romantic elements contained in this novel could be in a form of phrases or sentences which have the romantic sense. Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John is a romantic fiction novel, but apparently, it is not only talking about love, there are also some parts talking about routines, military job, and also broken heart. These dynamics of the story makes the romantic elements cannot be easily found in every page, and when in certain page there is a romantic element in a form of phrase or sentence, it cannot be directly taken as the data for this study, because this study is highlighting the

20


21

specific expression in forms of phrase, clause, or sentence related to romance that was used in the English version of Dear John and how that certain idiom was translated into Bahasa Indonesia. C. Method of the Study The methods applied to conduct this study were both library and field research. This study utilized library research method in order to get some related studies and collect theories from books, journals, and former theses. This method was aimed to provide strong and scientific evidences, so that this study would be qualified. The field research was done by distributing questionnaire to four respondents. The questionnaire was used to check the accepatability of the romance elements translation by Barokah Ruziati, and the four respondents were all the English Letters students. The data in this study were the primary data. Those were collected directly from the English version Dear John novel and its Bahasa Indonesia version. No datum taken from former studies or journals. D. Research Procedure 1.

Types of Data

a.

Objective Data The objective datain this study were Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John English

version as the Source Text (ST), and Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John Bahasa Indonesia version translated by Barokah Ruziati as the Target Text (TT). The


22

English version of Dear John consisted of 276 pages, while theIndonesian version had more pages, which were 387 pages. There were 55 romantic elements data that would be analyzed in this study. All of those were in the forms of sentences. Below was the cover of Dear John, both in English version (left) and in Bahasa Indonesia version (right).

b. Affective Data The affective data for this study were taken from ten respondents. The questionnaire of acceptability was given to each of those ten respondents. The respondents were around 18 – 46 years old. This range of age is chosen due to the readers category for Nicholas Sparks‟ novel, which was from late teenage until adult. All of the respondents have various background, such as, students, workers, and also housewives, since this novel‟s genre is romance fiction, which is a general topic for many readers, then, the writer tried to get the respondents from people in general, for example, it is not only a college student, but also a housewife. The respondents are all native speakers of Bahasa Indonesia, therefore, some of them such as the workers and students, have good


23

competence in both active and passive Bahasa Indonesia. Meanwhile, for some of the housewives, they have different level of competence from the students and workers. Mostly they are able to speak and write in Bahasa Indonesia only in a common or regular use. 2.

Data Collection The first activity done was reading. The researcher read both of the

English version of Dear John and theIndonesian version. Besides reading, the researcher also compared the romance elementsinthe ST to the TT as well. The sentences of romance elements, which were found in both the English version and Bahasa Indonesia version of Dear John, were highlighted and typed with the coding afterward. Below, is the example of the data coding, Table 3.1 “Affection”Data Coding Data Code 1/ST/A/ 27

theories for the translation strategy and acceptability indicator and scoring system. The second activity done in this research was distributing questionnaires to the ten respondents. The questionnaire was purposed to check the acceptability of theIndonesian version of Dear John by using the acceptability indicator and scoring system theory. 3.

Population and Sample The population of this study was the romance elements found in Nicholas

Sparks‟ Dear John. The total of romance elements data found in the novel were 55 data,thereforesampling was needed. The population of the romance elements was divided into three categories. The first and the most widely category was “affection”, which was 30 data; the second category was “endearment”, whose amount 16 data; while the last was “passion”, with 9 data.


25

This research used two sampling theory, which were proportional and purposive. The population was 55 and it was divided into three catageories, which were “affection”, “endearment”, and “passion”. Each category was taken proportionally by 10:5:3 ratio. Therefore, 10 data of “affection”, 5 data of “endearment”, and 3 data of“passion” were taken as the sample for the questionnaire. The purposive sampling, as stated byWidodo in his Cerdik Menyusun Proposal Penelitian Skripsi, Tesis & Disertasi, used when the choice of sample is based on the characteristics or certain feature based on the characteristics of the population (2012:58). In order to do the purposive sampling, reviewing the population to estimate the acceptability of each datum would be needed. The purposive sampling was no longer based on the categorization, but it emphazised on getting the 18 data for the questionnaire with the appropriate ratio. 4.

Data Analysis To validate the result, this study had three steps to conduct the reaserch.

The first step was reading and highlighting. Both of the English version novel and Bahasa Indonesia version were being read, and the parts of romance elements are highlighted. The second step was by collecting all of the data and assesing the acceptability of each datum. Using the appropriate ratio between the acceptability and unacceptability, the researcher made the questionnaire to distribute. Below was one example of the questionnaire,

After getting the results from all of the respondents, the assessment of the acceptability score would be done afterwards. Based on Nababan‟s acceptability indicator, the result of the questionnaires would be calculated by dividing the total of respondents‟ score by the total of the data given in the questionnaires.


CHAPTER IV ANALYSIS RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS This chapter is aimed to answer the problem formulations stated in Chapter I. There are two parts contained in this chapter. The first part is to answer the first problem, which is finding out the acceptability in the translation of romantic elements. In order to find out the acceptabilitty score, the questionnaire of acceptability is distributed to 10 respondents. The questionnaire is made using M. R. Nababan‟s acceptability indicator and score assessment as the theoretical basis. After finding out the result of the acceptability, then this research will try to see what translation strategies applied so that it can result that certain score of acceptability, which brings us to the second part of this chapter. A. The Acceptability of Romantic Elements Translation in Nicholas Sparks’ Dear John In order to find out the acceptability of the romantic elements translation, ten respondents whose age 19 – 46 years old from various proffesion, such as, college students, employee, and also housewives, are needed to represent the readers of the novel. As stated previously, the questionnaire is based on Nababan‟s acceptability indicator and score assessment. The score applied in this research is 1 – 3. The datum is considered acceptable if the score ranges between 1 – 1.6, quite acceptable if between 1.7 – 2.3,and unacceptable if between 2,4 – 3. From the 55 data population, 18 data are taken as the samples. Out of those 18 data, 16

28

data are considered acceptable while there are only 2 data assessed as quite acceptable. 1.

“Affection” Category According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (OALD), the word

„affection‟ means “the feeling of liking or loving somebody/something very much and caring about them” (2010:24). In this thesis, those datarelated to what the main character, John, feels about the girl he loves, Savannah, but not directly stated to Savannah arecategorized as „affection‟ category. a.

Acceptable Translation of “Affection” Category There are 10 data of “affection” category out of 18 sample data. From the

10 “affection” data, there are one datum scored 1; 2 data scored 1.1; 3 datum scored 1.2; and also 3 datum scored 1.6. Below is the explanation of each acceptable datum. There are 9 data which were acceptable, ranging from 1 – 1.6. Data Code 13/TT/A /141

Avr. Score 1

The average score of acceptablity of the datum above is 1 from all of the 10 respoondents. This translation is considered acceptable and all of the respondents can easily grasp the meaning. The bold part, which is considered as the romantic element of the datum, can be easily understood by the respondents because the language used is common in the TT readers. This translation is clear to deliver the point about main character‟s actual feeling to the girl, Savannah.



TT ... saat matanya bertemu mataku, aku merasa ada yang berbunyi klik, bagaikan kunci yang berputar di lubangnya. Percayalah, aku bukan orang yang romantis, dan walaupun sering mendengar tentang cinta pada pandangan pertama, aku tidak pernah memercayainya, sampai sekarang. Tapi meskipun demikian, ada sesuatu di sana, sesuatu yang terasa nyata, dan aku tak sanggup berpaling.

29

Avr. Score 1.1

Almost all respondents agree that this translation is acceptable. However, there is one respondent who thinks it quite acceptable, because the figurative speech in that data, about a key and a lock, is not so relevant to the fact. It is still understandable for the readers even though there is a figurative speech. Besides the naturalness of the language used, this translation also helps the readers visualize what the main character feels when he gets an eye contact with the girl. Data Code 20/TT/A/ 157

TT Dan saat bibirnya bertemu dengan bibirku, aku tahu aku bisa hidup seratus tahun dan mengunjungi semua negara di dunia, tapi tidak akan ada yang bisa menandingi momen ketika aku mencium gadis impianku untuk pertama kalinya dan tahu bahwa cintaku akan abadi selamanya.

Avr. Score 1.1

This translation is considered acceptable. However. The figurative speech contained in the sentence makes some readers quite hard to get the atmosphere or sensation described in the sentence. Despite of the figurative speech in the sentence, this translation is still easy to understand, because the main point is quite clear. The readers can still grasp what the author wants to tell about.



TT Kami berjalan menuju mobil dan aku meraih tangan Savannah, sentuhannya membuatku merasa dunia ini berputar dengan mulus.

Avr. Score 1.2

Some readers think that this translation is quite acceptable. According to one of the respondents, the sentence sentuhannya membuatku merasa dunia ini berputar dengan mulus, is a little bit excessive, while the other respondent who also gives score 2, thinks that this translation is quite hard to conceive. A better translation is “sentuhannya membuatku merasa baik-baik saja” or “sentuhannya membuatku merasa dunia ini baik adanya”.However, it is still an acceptable translation because most of the readers are able to receive the whole point about what the character feels when Savannah touches him.

This datum of translation is considered acceptable by most of the readers. However, there are some readers who assessed this translation quite acceptable. They think this translation is not really understandable. This is an acceptable translation because the choice of words which are common to the TT readers and also there is also a quite clear context stated in the questionnaire.

Most of the readers consider this translation acceptable, but there are two of them who think this is quite acceptable. Both of them admit that they are not easily get the point of this sentence. They have to reread several times in order to really catch the point. Nonetheless, it is still an acceptable translation because the translator can explain the main point, which is about the feeling of love felt by the main character to the girl, using common words in the TT, so that the readers can grasp it.

Avr. Score 1.6

This translation is still considered acceptable although there are some respondents think this translation is quite acceptable and some think this is unacceptable.According to them, the word melodius is not familiar in the target language conversation. Based on Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI), melodius means bersangkutan dengan irama; enak didengar karena berirama or related to rhythm; pleasant to listen to because it is rhyming. It is actually not really suitable to be applied to because when it comes to a person‟s voice, it is usually not rhyming. So,it will be more acceptable and understandable to use the word merdu, which is defined by KBBI as baik dan sedap didengar, or nice and


32

pleasant to listen to, but still, most of the respondents consider this translation acceptable, because they are still able to catch the meaning without understanding the word „melodius‟. Data Code 6/TT/A/ 113-114

TT Kami tetap berdiri di sana, salah satu momen canggung yang tak akan pernah membuatku terbiasa, tapi Savannah berbalik sebelum aku sempat mencoba menciumnya. Biasanya, aku langsung merangsek saja untuk melihat apa yang terjadi; aku mungkin tidak pernah terbuka tentang perasaanku, tapi aku impulsif dan sigap beraksi. Dengan Savannah, anehnya aku merasa lumpuh.

Avr. Score 1.6

It is an acceptable translation, however, some respondents do not know the definition of „merangsek‟ and „impulsif‟, and there is one reader assumes that the word „lumpuh‟ is commonly associated with diseases. According to KBBI, the word impulsif means act quickly at will; while merangsek is not defined by KBBI. The word lumpuh means weak, powerless, and no longer be able to move.Nevertheless, half of the respondents give score 1 for this datum. This is still considered acceptable because the point from the author, which is about the main character‟s different attitude between what he usually does with other women and with Savannah, is quite well-explaned by the translator.

Avr. Score 1.6


33

This translation datum is considered acceptable by some of the readers. However, almost a half of them assessed this translation quite acceptable and unacceptable. They think that this translation does not really deliver the message from the author. They cannot clearly get the point of this part, even though the context of this part of the story is written in the questionnaire. Nevertheless, the some readers still give score 1 for this datum, it is because they are able to catch the meaning and point from this translation. This datum, even though it is an acceptable translation, there is one point that makes readers not easily grasp the meaning or not easily picture it, and it is in the word „mereguk‟, there are not so many TT readers understand this word‟s definition, but when the translator change it into „menikmati‟, perhaps it will be easier for the TT readers to understand how the author describes what happens to John and Savannah in that moment. b. Quite Acceptable Translation of “Affection” Category There is only one datum considered as quite acceptable by the 10 respondents. The explanation is in the following. Data Code 32/TT/A /220

TT Aku nyaris tidak sempat menurunkan tas sebelum dia melompat ke pelukanku, dan ciuman yang menyusul bagaikan kerajaan magisnya sendiri, lengkap dengan bahasa dan geografi istimewa, mitos-mitos menakjubkan serta keajaiban berabad-abad

Avr. Score 2

The translation above is assessed quite acceptable. Some of the respondents think that the metaphor used to describe the kiss is exaggerating, so


34

it distracts the readers who suppose to feel the romantic sensastion. Readers tend to reread the figurative speech part instead of catching the romance of this part. It will probably be less exaggearating when it is translated into „...dan ciuman yang menyusul terasa magis dan ajaib‟. However, there are still few readers consider this translation acceptable, because they do not feel confused about or disturbed with the figurative speech. They can directly capture the main point of this datum. 2. Acceptable Translation of “Endearment” Category The word „endearment‟ in OALD is defined as “a word or an expression that is used to show affection” (2010:483). Those data which are catagorized in “endearment” category are the data which contain direct statements from the main character, John, to Savannah, or vice versa. There are 5 data of “endearment” category out of 18 sample data in the questionnaire. All of those 5 “endearment” data are assessed acceptable by the 10 respondents. Below, is the further discussion.

The translation of “endearment” category above is scored 1, which means acceptable. It is considered as acceptable by all of the respondents because this translation is able to clearly describe the main point of the sentence. The choice of words used in this sentence are easy to be understood and also, by


35

This translation is also considered acceptable by all of the readers. Even though there is a figurative words, senyummu yang sulit diartikan, which can lead into something less or not romantic, but it is still an acceptable romantic translation for the TT readers. The readers can automatically consider the phrase senyummu yang sulit diartikan as something positive and romantic because the atmosphere brought before which shows that Savannah wants to be with John and hold his hands. Data Code 5/TT/E/ 91

TT “Aku tergila-gila pada pria jujur berambut cepak. ...”

Avr. Score 1.1

This translation is acceptable with the average score 1.1. Most of the readers consider this datum is acceptable. However, there is one respondent assesses this translation quite acceptable because this sentence has an irrelevant phrase, which is, pria jujur berambut cepak. This phrase makes the sense of romance weaken. It probably will be better when it is translated as “aku tergilagila pada tentara berhati jujur”. Nonetheless, this translation is acceptable for most of the respondents. This phrase can also help the readers to picture how


36

John looks like and the word tergila-gila which means ”a sucker” in the ST, can clearly explain how madly in love those two characters are. Data Code 25/TT/E /200

TT Kau pria yang langka, John, dan aku sangat menghargainya. Selama kita bersama, kau tidak pernah mendesakku untuk tidur denganmu, dan aku tak bisa mengatakan betapa berartinya hal itu bagiku. Itu membuat apa yang kita miliki terasa semakin istimewa, dan itulah yang selalu ingin kukenang darikebersamaan kita. Seperti sinar putih yang murni, menakjubkan untuk dipandang.

Avr. Score 1.3

This data is acceptable with the avarage score 1.3. Some of the readers giving 2 for the score. One of them thinks that the words tidur denganmu feels ambiguous, since the meaning of the phrase tidur denganmu can be defined as having sex or just staying together for a night. While the two others assume that the word langka, or “rare” in ST, is not really describing the sense of romantic, because “langka” can be defined as something‟s very unique and different, and it is not always in a good way. However, this translation is quite succeed in delivering the point about how deep John‟s love for Savannah is and how thankful she is for it. Data Code 36/TT/E /243

TT “Kauingat waktu aku bilang bahwa aku mendapat kekuatan dengan berada bersamamu?” Saat aku mengangguk, dia meluncurkan jemarinya di dadaku. “Aku tidak bercanda soal itu. Musim panas lalu sangat berarti bagiku. Lebih dari yang bisa kaubayangkan, dan ketika kau pergi, aku hancur.

Avr. Score 1.4


37

The translation above is considered acceptable, because it is able to reflect how precious John is for Savannah. So that, the readers can indirectly experience how great their love is. Nevertheless, there is one respondent assesses this datum unacceptable. The respondent thinks that the translation above does not clearly explain or deliver the message about what happens to Savannah after John goes back to his duty as an army soldier. While there are two other respondents think this data is quite acceptable because they think this translation is a little bit exaggerating in the part aku mendapat kekuatan dengan berada berada bersamamu” and “dan ketika kau pergi, aku hancur. 3.

“Passion” Category Oxford Advanced Learner‟s Dictionary defines “passion” as “a very

strong feeling of love, hatred, anger, enthusiasm, etc” and “passion (for somebody)” as “a very strong feeling of sexual love” (2010:1073). This category is for the data which contain sexual love or physically intimate relation between the main character, John, and his girlfriend, Savannah. a.

Acceptable Translation of “Passion” Category There are only three data of “passion” category in the 18 sample data.

Two data are assessed acceptable with scores 1.1 and 1.3; while one datum with score 2,2 is quite acceptable. Here is the further explanation. Data Code 40/TT/P/ 246

Avr. Score 1.1


38

The translation of “passion” category above is considered acceptable, because most of the readers think that the translation is succeed in delivering the meaning and also the feeling felt when the TT readers read it. However, there is one respondent assessesthis translation quite acceptable. The respondent thinks that “the fire sensation” to describe the physical contact between John and Savannah is not really appropriate or harmonious, perhaps it will be more appropriate with “the electrical sensation” or “magnetic appeal”. Data Code 37/TT/P/ 245

TT Saat itu aku memeluknya, merasakan kehangatan tubuhnya di tubuhku. Aku bisa merasakan jemarinya di balik bahan tipis kausku dan merasakan dia menariknya dengan lembut, menyingkapnya hingga kulit perutku tampak. Sensasinya bagai tersetrum.

Avr. Score 1.3

This datum is also assessed acceptable. This translation can help the readers understand, imagine, and even feel the intimate situation which is created in this sentences. Nevertheless, some readers consider this translation quite acceptable. They assume that they cannot really feel the atmosphere from reading this part of the story. They understand what this part of the story is about but they do not really grasp the sensation of the sexual love between both characters through this translation. b. Quite Acceptable Translation of “Passion” Category There is only one datum considered quite acceptable by the respondents. The discussions is in the following.

Avr. Score 2,2

The translation datum above considered quite acceptable by all of the respondents. Most of them does not know what „menggelenyar‟ means. Most of them thinks that the word „menggelenyar‟ is not familiar in the TT. Even though most of the respondents consider this translation is quite acceptable and unacceptable, there are still 2 respondents who give 1 for the score. Both of the respondents think that this translation is still understandable and they can still grasp the message even though they do not know what „menggelenyar‟ means. Perhaps, the TT readers will be more easier to catch the meaning by changing the word “menggelenyar” into “merinding”. The translator is not succeed in delivering the message of this sentence, because the readers have to guess and they even confused about the meaning of the word “menggelenyar”.

Then the next is the average score 1.3 which has 2 data or there are 11% of the data have score 1.3. There is only one datum getting score 1.4, which means there are only 5% of the data have the score 1.4. There are 17% data with the average score 1.6, or in other words, there are 3 data have score 1.6. There is one datum gets score 2, it means there only 5% of the data get score 2.

The chart above shows the acceptability average score based on each respondent. Respondent 1 reaches the average score 1.1. Then the second respondent have 1.3 for the average score. The third respondendent has 1.7 for the score. This respondent has the highest average score in acceptability. It is because this respondent assumes that most of the data is quite exaggerating in describing the romantic sensation, and according to this respondent, it results a less romantic feeling and some of the data are also confusing because some words are not common in the TT language, so that it makes the translator is not really succeed in producing an acceptable tranlsation. It also makes this respondent has to reread several times in order to get the point. The average score for the respondent 4,5,6 are 1.2. Then, both of the seventh and the eight respondent are having the score 1.4. The last is the average score for the respondent 10, is 1.5.

This datum has four translation strategies applied. Thosefour strategies are the structural strategy and semantic strategy, and they are: i.

Transposition By applying this strategy, a translator is able to change the original

structure from the ST in the TT in order to get the equal concept to the ST (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:68). This strategy is applied in the part when her eyes met mine, ..., which is translated into saat matanya bertemu mataku. The phrase her eyes is translated into matanya in the TT. Both position is changing. In the ST, the possessive pronoun is placed before the head, which is her eyes, while in the TT, the position is reversed. The statement showed the possessive pronoun stands after the subject, so it becomes mata-nya. This changing posistion happens because of the different structure between ST and TT. Even though the position is changing, but the meaning is still the same. ii. Addition (Structural) This strategy is applied when some words addition in the TT are needed in order to get the correct structure (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:68). This strategy can be seen in the part when her eyes met mine,..., in the ST and translated into saat matanya bertemu mataku. In the ST, the word mine is used to explain the main character‟s eyes. Then, in the TT, mine is translated into mataku. The TT still has to mention the object, which is the eye of the main character. If the object is not mentioned, then the translation will be ambiguous or confusing, for example, when her eyes met mine translated as saat matanya bertemu milikku. The word milikku will make the translation unacceptable, but


44

when it is translated into mataku, then it will be understandable because the previous context is describing about Savannah‟s eyes. iii. Addition (Semantic) This strategy is different from the previous addition strategy. This addition strategy is included in the semantic strategy and it is done for resulting a clear meaning for a translation (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:74).On the datum above, this strategy is applied in the part I felt something click, which is translated into aku merasa ada yang berbunyi klik. In the ST, there is only mentioned something click, but the translator defines it into ada yang berbunyi klik. The translator adds the word berbunyi to describe it. She tries to explain to the TT readers that something click meant by the author is something which sounded click happens when John and Savannah are staring at each other. iv. Subtraction This strategy is done by omitting structural element in the ST (Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003:68). This strategy is applied in the part there was something there, which is translated into ada sesuatu di sana. In the ST, the structural element is in there was. The use of auxiliary verb in that sentence is for the sake of correct structure, but when it is translated into the TT, the auxiliary verb will automatically be omitted. Then, the result is ada sesuatu di sana. This strategy is applied because the different sentence structure in both of the languages. In English, this auxiliary verbs, which is was, is to show the past tense used in the sentence, but in Bahasa Indonesia, there is no such grammatical rule for explaining the past, present, or future.

Strategy


Sub., Syn., ADD.,

There are three translation strategies found in the datum above. Those are: i.

Subtraction As stated in the explanation before, this strategy is subtracting the

structural element from the ST. This datum applies this strategy in the part the sound was so melodic which is translated into suaranya begitu melodius. The auxiliary verb was is not translated into the TT. The TT does not use auxiliary verb in its sentence, that is why the translator omits was. ii. Synonym According to Suryawinata and Hariyanto, a translator is able to choose a word in the TT which has close meaning to the ST (2003:73). This strategy is applied in the part the sound was so melodic, and it is translated into suaranya begitu melodius. The word melodic becomes melodius in the TT. According to OALD, melodic meansconnected with the main tune in a piece of music. Apparently, Oxford also considers the word melodic is equal to the word melodious.Melodious itself, based on OALD, means pleasant to listen to, like music. Then, in the TT, KBBI defines melodius as something related to rhythm; pleasant to listen to because it is


46

rhyming.The word melodius in the TT is synonymous to the word melodic. Both of them has a close meaning which is related or connected to the tune and rhythm of the music. iii. Addition (Semantic) In order to give the TT readers a smooth and proper sentence, this strategy is suitable to be applied. Additional strategy can be seen in the part I knew I wanted to hear it again, which is translated into aku tahu bahwa aku ingin mendengarnya lagi. There is word bahwa in the TT to bridge the clause aku tahu and aku ingin. This strategy is applied to smoothen the translation of the clause I knew I wanted. When the translator does not use additional, then it would be aku tahu aku ingin .... The sentence is considered strange by the TT readers because there are two verbs in one clause without divider. c.

Savannah, anehnya aku merasa lumpuh.

Transposition The datum above has one strategy, which is transposition. The strategy is

applied in the part I felt oddly paralyzed, which becomes anehnya aku merasa lumpuh. The position of the adverb oddly is changing. In the ST, the word oddly is after the verb felt, while in the TT, it is placed before the subject, I. Even though the position changes, the meaning does not. This strategy is needed because when the word oddly in the TTstays in the same postion as the ST then it will be strange and not acceptable. The adveb oddly is placed even before the subject in the TT to describe how the main character, John, respond or think about his feeling to Savannah. d.

Sub., Trans., Syn.,


48

The datum above has three strategies applied. Those are: i.

Subtraction This strategy is applied in the sentence I reached for her hand and in the

TT, it becomes aku meraih tangan Savannah. In the ST, the word reached is followed with the phrasal verb for, but when it is translated into Bahasa Indonesia, the phrasal verb reached for is not translated separately. ii. Transposition The second strategy applied is transposition. It can be seen in the phrase her hand which translated becomes tangan Savannah. This transposition is done because of the different structure between the ST and the TT. In the ST, the head of the phrase is placed after the possessive pronoun, while in the TT, the position is reversed. iii. Synonym The last strategy in the datum is synonym.This strategy is applied in the sentence her touch making me feel all was right with the world. The part all was right with the world becomes dunia ini berputar dengan mulus in the TT. KBBI defines the word mulus asbersih; halus; tanpa cacat; lancar; tidak ada halangan; dapat berjalan baik, while according to OALD, right means in a normal or good condition. Basically, the words right and mulus has quite same basic concept about anything which runs well, flawless, good, and correct. Therefore, instead of translate it into semua yang ada di dunia ini baik-baik saja, the translator tend to beautify the sentence.

i.

49

Strategy ADD., Sub.,

Addition (Semantic) This datum has two addition and both of them is in the semantic strategy.

It is in the sentence as crazy as it sounded, which translated into walaupun kedengarannya gila. The translator has added the word walaupun in the beginning of the sentence. As crazy as it sounded can literally be translated into segila yang terdengar or segila kedengarannya, but in order to result a proper sentence in the TT, the translator tries to make a contrast between a word crazy which generally describes a negative meaning – and the sentence in the next clause, which is she was becoming part of me, describes a positive and romantic sense. That is why, the word walaupun is added to reveal the different atmosphere between the two clauses. So that, the TT readers understand the condition between John and Savannah, after everything they have been through, although it may sound crazy, but John feels that Savannah is now a part of him.


50

The second addition is in the clause she was becoming part of me and translated into dia mulai menjadi bagian diriku. The translator has added the word mulai in the TT. This strategy is done to adjust the translation with the tense used in the ST, so that the TT readers understand the detailed point of that part of the story. The ST applies past continous/progressive tense in that clause. As we all know, the use of past continous tense is to state that a certain action or event is happening in a certain time in the past and it is not yet ended (http://www.edufind.com/english-grammar/past-continuous-tense/),

so,

the

author wants to emphisize to the readers that John‟s feeling about Savannah had became a part of him, begins in that part of the story. In order to clarify the use of past continous tense, the translator adds the word mulai to explain that start from that part of the story, John has a feeling that Savannah is a part of him. ii. Subtraction This strategy is applied in the clause she was becoming part of me. The auxiliary was in the clause is subtracted in the TT. This strategy is an obligatory to be applied in the translation because the TT has its own grammatical structure. f.

meskipun aku berharap suatu hari nanti bisa mendengar Savannah mengucapkan katakata itu kepadaku, yang terpenting adalah mengetahui bahwa cinta ini bisa kuberikan, tanpa tuntutan atau harapan.

Modulation The first strategy applied in this datum is modulation. Newmark in

Suryawinata and Hariyanto (1988:88) reiterates that it is a strategy used by the translator when he/she has different perpectives in seeing the message contained in the ST sentence (2003:75). This strategy is applied in the clause love was mine to give and it is translated into cinta ini bisa kuberikan. The translator does not give the statement that the love is John‟s as it is mentioned in the ST, on the contrary, the translator explains that the love is John‟s in the word kuberikan. The prefix ku in the TT is an explanation about the love that John‟s going to give. It is different from the ST, which stated that the love which is John‟s will be given to Savannah. The translator also prefers to use the word bisakuberikan instead of akankuberikan to translate the words to give. The word bisa can describe that something is able to be done, rather than akan kuberikan, which sounds like the action of giving is still on the plan and not yet done.


52

ii. Synonym The second strategy in this datum is synonym. This strategy is applied in the clause without strings or expectations which translated becomes tanpa tuntutan atau harapan. The word strings is translated into tuntutan in the ST. According to OALD, string means special conditions or restrictions, while KBBI defines tuntutan as something forcibly asked in order to pay for what he/she has got or done. Based on those two definitions, strings and tuntutan are synonymous. Both of them has the same basic concept about conditions or rules to be done after getting or doing something g.

Strategy Trans., Add., Omi.


53

Three translation strategies are found in this datum. They are, i.

Transposition The first strategy applied is transposition. It can be seen in the first

clause, and when her lips met mine, which translated into dan saat bibirnya bertemu dengan bibirku, the phrase her lips becomes bibirnya in the TT. This strategy is chosen since the sentence structure in the TT is placing the head of the phrase before the possessive pronoun. The transposition strategy is also applied in the sentence when I first kissed the girl of my dreams, which translated into ketika aku mencium gadis impianku untuk pertama kalinya. The word first in the ST is placed after the subject I, but in the TT, it is in the last part of the sentence, so it becomes the final explanation about the kissing which has happened in that plot of the story. The word first is placed in the end of the sentence because it is more proper and ordered in the TT, instead of ketika aku pertama kali mencium gadis impianku. ii. Addition (Structural) Addition strategy is applied in the same clause as the previous strategy, which is and when her lips met mine and becomes dan saat bibirnya bertemu dengan bibirkuin the TT. This strategy is applied to translate the word mine which becomes bibirku. The TT has the additional word bibir to explain whatmine is in the ST in order to deliver a clear translation, instead of translating this clause into saat bibirnya bertemu dengan milikku, which will confuse the TT readers.


54

iii. Omission According to Suryawinata and Hariyanto, omission is omitting or deleting a word or a part of the ST in the TT. This strategy is done because the translator thinks that certain word(s) is not so important or influential to the whole sentence (2003:75). In the datum above, we can see omission strategy in the clause nothing would ever compare to that single moment, which becomes tidak akan ada yang bisa menandingi momen. The phrase single moment in the ST is only translated into momen in the TT. It is because the word single is aimed to emphasize the one and only moment which considered special by John. h.

There are three translation strategies applied in the datum above, they

are: i.

Transposition The transposition is used to translate the phrase my hand into tanganku.

The possessive pronoun in the ST will always be placed before the head, while in the TT, the possessive pronoun, ku, is fused with the head or the object, so that it is translated into tanganku.


55

ii. Addition (Structural) The addition strategy is also found in the datum. It is on the sentence I slipped my hand into hers which translated into aku menyelipkan tanganku ke tangannya. The word hers becomes tangannya in the TT. The word tangan is included to explain whathers is, because the previous context is about John‟s hand. iii. Modulation There are two parts in the datum which used the modulation strategy. The first is the sentence I’d seen her becomes kami bertemu in the TT. The translator prefers to change the subject I in the ST into kami because the context of the sentence is that there are two persons included, and both of them are involved in the same action, which is in this case is seeing each other. So, in order to result a brief yet clear translation, the translator chooses kami bertemu to describe the meeting of the two persons. The second sentence with the modulation strategy isbut more thanI would ever love anyoneand it is translated as tapi lebih dari cintaku kepada siapa pun. The subject of the sentence in the ST is I, while in the TT, the subject changes into cintaku. The translator prefers to translate it that way because that sentence is more understandable and obvious to the TT readers, rather than translate it into tapi lebih dari saat aku pernah mencintai orang lain. The literal translation will cause the TT readers re-read several times to really grasp the point.

i.

56

Strategy Syn., Trans., Sub., Mod.

Synonym The synonym strategy can be seen in the sentence I watch her drink in

the sight which becomes aku melihat dia mereguk pemandangan itu. The phrasal verb drink in is translated into mereguk. Many TT readers do not understand what mereguk means. As stated by KBBI, mereguk is the act of drinking, gulping; tasting. While OALD defines drink in as to look at or listen to something with great interest and enjoyment. Based on those two definitions, the translator tries to explain to the TT readers about the activity done by Savannah as seen by John. The word mereguk is chosen to describe the feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction she got when she stares at the scenery. So, it is


57

synonymous to the phrasal verb drink in which also emphasizing about the great interest in looking or seeing something. Then, the second strategy is ii. Transposition There are three parts in this datum which apply transposition. It is in the phrase the briefest instant which translated into waktu yang sangat singkat. The position of the adjective briefest is reversed. In the TT, the head, whic is instant,is placed before the modifier. The second part can be found in the clause wanting nothing more than to let her know I’m here, which has been translated into tidak ada yang lebih kuinginkan selain memberitahunya bahwa aku ada di sini. The beginning of the clause in the TT is tidak ada yang lebih kuinginkan, while in the ST, the word wanting is in the beginning of the clause. This transposition is done in order to result a more natural and proper translation, so that the TT readers do not get a discordant sentence. The third sentence which has transposition as its strategy is I stay where I am and stare up at the moon as well and it becomes aku diam di tempatku dan ikut memandang bulan.The phrase as well is placed in the end of the sentence, but in the TT, it is placed in the middle of the sentence. If the translation of as well placed on the same place as in the ST, then the sentence will be less proper, because it will be aku diam di tempatku dan memandang bulan juga.


58

iii. Subtraction The subtraction is in the sentence I’m here which is translated as aku ada di sini. The auxiliary am is omitted in the TT because of the different structure. So that, the sentence I’m here is acceptable to be translated into aku ada di sini. iv. Modulation The last strategy is modulation. It is applied in the sentence it almost feels like we’re together again and translated into aku nyaris merasa seakanakan kami tengah bersama lagi. The word it becomes aku in the TT. It is because the translator wants to emphasize that it is John who feels like they‟re together again, and it is not only the atmosphere or circumstance of staring the moon together which makes like they‟re together again. So, instead of literally translating it, the translator prefers to transfer it into aku. j.

Omi., Syn., Trans.


59

There are three strategies applied in the datum. Those are: i.

Omission It is on the phrase my duffel bag which is translated into tas. The words

my and duffel are omitted. The word my is to show the possessive pronoun of the bag itself, then the word duffel, based on OALD, is a kind of a bag made out of cloth, shaped like a tube and closed by a string around the top and it is usually carried over the shoulder. By omitting the words my and duffel, the translation will get briefer, the main point does not change as well because by deleting the word my and duffel, the TT readers still can understand what the author is talking about. Without explaining about whose bag that is, the readers is automatically notice that the bag is John‟s, while the word duffel is only the name or the type of the bag, which is not affected the main point of the whole datum. ii. Synonym It is in the phrase my arms. That phrase is translated into pelukanku. These two words are synonymous, because according to OALD, arm means either of the two long parts that stick out from the top of the body and connect the shoulders to the hands. While the word pelukan according to KBBI is an embrace with two hands; and OALD also defines hug (pelukan) as an act of putting your arms around somebody and holding them tightly, especially to show that you like or love them. As the result, those definitions show that a hug can be done using the two arms. So here, arms and hug are related, and they are synonymous since the context in the datum is also quite clear, which is she jumped into my arms, and it will be impossible for the translator to translate it


60

into dia melompat ke kedua lenganku. It will be unacceptable and not understandable. iii. Transposition The last strategy is transposition. There are three phrases use this strategy. The first phrase is magic kingdom, which translated into kerajaan magis. The second is special language and geography which becomes bahasa dan geografi istimewa, and the last phrase is fabulous myths and it is translated into mitos-mitos menakjubkan. All of those three phrases change the position of the adjective. The head of the phrases are switched to the beginning of the phrases, and the position of the modifier are in the end of the phrases, so that the heads are explained in detail by the adjectives followed. 2.

The datum above has three translation strategies. They are i.

parts of this datum. The first part is in the word sucker which translated into tergila-gila.

OALD

defines

sucker

as

a

who

61

somebody/something or likes somebody or something very much. Then, tergilagila as defined by KBBI as the feeling of liking somebody or something excessively. As the result, these two words are synonymous based on their own definitions. The second part of the synonym strategy can be seen in the phrase crew cuts, which translated into berambut cepak. According to OALD, crew cuts means a hairstyle for men in which the hair is cut very short. While KBBI defines cepak as a short haircut. Hence, the phrase crew cuts is synonymous to the phrase berambut cepak because both of them have the same point, which is a short haircut. ii. Transposition This is the next strategy applied. It can be seen from the phrase honest guys which becomes pria jujur in the TT. The modifier and the head is switching the position when it comes to the TT. So, the modifier, which is jujur(honest) is explaining the quality of the guy. iii. Subtraction This strategy is applied in the clause honest guys with crew cuts, which becomes pria jujur berambut cepak. The word with is omitted in the TT, because it will be less effective when it is translated into pria jujur dengan rambut cepak. So, the translator prefers to give prefix ber- in the TT, to translate the word with.

Strategy Sub., Trans., Omi., Mod.

Subtraction The subtraction strategy can be seen in the first sentece, you’re a rare

gentleman, John which becomes kau pria yang langka, John. The auxiliary are is not translated because it is applied in the ST for the sake of structurally correct sentence. While in the TT, it is no need to use auxiliary in order to make a correct sentence. ii. Transposition The second strategy is transposition, which is applied in two phrases in the datum. The first phrase is a rare gentleman which translated become pria


63

yang langka, then the second phrase is a pure light becomes sinar putih yang murni. Like the transposition strategy before, this is also switching the modifier position with the head position. In the TT, the adjective is placed after the head of the phrase. iii. Omission The next strategy applied is omission. It can be seen in the sentence I can’t tell you how much that meant to me, which becomes aku tak bisa mengatakan betapa berartinya hal itu bagiku. The word you from the ST is omitted in the TT. It is because without translating the word you, the TT readers is able to understand to whom Savannah is telling about her feeling. iv. Modulation This strategy can be seen in the clause my time with youwhich translated as kebersamaan kita. The translator has her own perspective in translating my time with you. By translating it into kebersamaan kita, the TT readers will somehow feel the togetherness of John and Savannah, instead of using waktuku bersamamu, which seems like they are still on each of their own time and it feels like there are still a gap between John and Savannah. That is why, kebersamaan kita is able to create a romantic sense. c.

melengkapi aku.

The first strategy found in the datum is i.

Synonym This strategy is applied n the sentence I can’t help smiling, which

becomes aku tak bisa menahan diri untuk tersenyum. Based on OALD, the idiom I can’t help it (smiling) means something used to say that it is impossible to prevent or avoid something, so, this idiom means that Savannah cannot stop smiling when she thinks about John. As a result, this idiom is synonymous to the TT which is tidak bisa menahan diri. ii. Transposition The second strategy is in the clause you’ve completed me somehow, becomes entah bagaimana engkau melengkapi aku. The word somehow is placed in the beginning of the clause in the TT. This strategy is applied for resulting a good and proper translation, because when the translator literally translates it into kau melengkapiku, entah bagaimana, then it will be a strange sentence. d.

Synonym This datum has synonym strategy applied in two parts. The first is in the

sentence I draw strength from being with you which becomes aku mendapat kekuatan dengan berada bersamamu. The phrase draw strength is synonymous with the phrase mendapat kekuatan, because according to OALD, the word draw can be meant as to produce a reaction or response. So, draw strength means Savannah can produce strengths by being with John. As a result, it is synonymous with the TT phrase mendapat kekuatan. The translator tries to explain that Savannah is getting some strengths from being with John. The second synonym in the datum is in the last sentence I was a wreck which translated as aku hancur. The word wreck is defined by OALD as a person who is in a bad physical or mental condition. Then, KBBI defines hancur as smashed to pieces. These two words are synonymous since both of them has the same basic concept, which is about something that is in a bad condition.

Strategy

Omi., Trans.

Omission The first strategy found in the datum is omission. It is applied in the

sentence I wish I were with you now and it is translated into aku berharap sedang bersamamu saat ini. The word I after the word wish is deleted in the TT. It is because the use of the second I in the TT is considered less effective, because it will be aku berharap aku sedang bersamamu. The translation aku berharap sedang bersamamu is considered effective and acceptable for the TT readers. ii. Transposition The second strategy is transposition. It can be seen in the phrase your elusive smile which translated into senyummu yang sulit diartikan. The modifierelusive is still placed in the end of the phrase, even though there is a possessive pronoun your. The head of the phrase, which is smile, is still on the beginning of the phrase and followed by the possessive pronoun –mu.

Addition (Semantic) This is an addition which is included in the semantic strategy. This

strategy can be seen in the first sentence, I held her then and translated into saat itu aku memeluknya. The addition of the words saat itu in the TT is functioning to make the translation clearer, even though the words saat itu is also not giving a clear timing of when the event happens.


68

ii. Transposition The second strategy is transposition. There are a lot of transposition found in the phrases which are in the datum. Those phrases are her body, translated as tubuhnya. Her fingers, translated into jemarinya. The next is the thin fabric of my shirt, which becomes bahan tipis kausku. Then the last is my stomach becomes perutku. All of the phrases are still having the same concept as what the writer stated before. In the TT, the head of the phrase will always be placed in the front, while the adjective or the possessive pronoun are following. iii. Modulation This strategy is applied in the sentence the sensation was electric and it is translated into sensasinya bagai tersetrum. The translator prefers to describe this sentence using analogy, instead of giving an exact description about how the sensation is. It can be seen from the word bagai in the TT. The translator wants the readers to imagine and feel deeper about how it feels to get electric shocked and then try to sychronize it with the feeling or sensation that John and Savannah feel in that part of the story. b.

The last is her skin, which translated into kulitnya. All of those phrases are applying the transposition strategy so that it can result an acceptable translation. ii. Addition (Structural) Another strategy applied is addition. This is the addition strategy which is included in the structural strategy. It can be seen in the sentence the sensastion of her skin against mine, which translated into sensasi persentuhan kulitnya dengan kulitku. In the ST, it is only stated mine, but when it comes to the TT‟s structure then, the object is also written and followed by the possessive pronoun, so it becomes kulitku. j.

There are three strategies in the datum above. Those are i.

Transposition This strategy can be seen in the phrase my skin which translated in

reversed into kulitku.


70

ii. Synonym The second strategy found is synonym. This strategy can be analyzed in the sentence I felt my skin tingle which translated as aku merasakan kulitku menggelenyar. According to OALD, tingle means to feel as if a lot of small sharp points are pushing into it, while the definition of menggelenyar as stated by KBBI is feels like being bitten. Both of these words are synonymous because both of the description is about feeling like being touched or even bitten by something sharp. However, the word menggelenyar is not common for the TT readers, therefore they think this translation is not acceptable. iii. Modulation This strategy is applied in the last clause beneath her touch which becomes terkena sentuhannya. The translator uses modulation because when she translates it into di bawah sentuhannya, then it will be less understandable because it is not common in the TT to combine the preposition, such as di bawah, with the subject, which is in this case is sentuhannya. By translating the word beneath into terkena, the TT readers are able to easily get the point, because terkena sentuhannya is a common expression used in the TT. Sentuhan (touch) is able to be felt when we make a physical contact, that is why the phrase terkena sentuhannya is more logic to be applied. In order to summerize the translation strategy of the romantic elements, below is the chart of the translation strategy applied in the romantic elements in Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John.

The chart above shows the result of the translation strategy applied by the translator in translating the romantic elements in Nicohlas Sparks‟ Dear John. The most applied strategy is transposition. This strategy is applied in almost all of the data, which are 14 data out of 18 data. The reason is because the ST and the TT have different grammatical structure.The second most applied strategy is synonym. There are 9 data utilized this strategy. After the synonym strategy, there are 14% or 7 data which apply the subtraction strategy from translating the romantic elements. The modulation strategy has 13% for the percentage and 6 for the number of data. Then, the last three strategies are addition in structural strategy, addition in semantic strategy, and omission. Those three are also having the same percentage and number of data, which are 8 % and 4 data.


CHAPTER V CONCLUSION This study analyzes 18 sample data out of 55 population which are founded in Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John. Those 18 romantic elements data are divided into three categories to differentiate the type of romance in Sparks‟ Dear John. The first category is “affection”, the second is “endearment”, then the last is “passion”. From 18 sample data, 10 of them are considered as “affection” category. Then, the “endearment” category consists of 5 data, and the other 3 data are in the “passion” category. The first problem is the acceptability of the romantic elements translation. Based on the questionnaires from the 10 respondents, the final score for the acceptability of the romantic elements translation is 1.3. The score 1.3 are resulted by dividing the total average score of each datum by the total of of the data analyzed. The score 1.3 is considered acceptable as stated in Nababan‟s acceptability assessment indicator. As the translator of Dear John, Barokah Ruziati is considered succeed in transferring the story and message from the ST into the TT, since her translation reaches score 1.3, so it means that her translation is acceptable and the TT readers understand the story as the ST readers do. After finding the result of the acceptability score, the second problem formulation, which is about the translation strategy applied in translating the romantic elements in Dear John, is also resolved.

In percentage, there are 29% of the data apply the transposition strategy, which is the mostly used strategy because of the different grammatical structure in both of the ST and TT, co that the application of transposition strategy is needed. Then, the synonym strategy is applied in 19% of the data. The subtraction and modulation, which have the same number of data, are applied in 14% of the data. The three other strategies, addition (structural), addition (semantic), and omission are utilized in 8% of the data. Referring to the result of the acceptability and the translation strategy applied in translating the romantic elements in Nicholas Sparks‟ Dear John, it can be concluded that the translator, Barokah Ruziati mostly applies the appropriate strategies, because the final result of the acceptablity is also showing that the translation is acceptable with the score 1.3. It indirectly shows that the TT readers understand the translation, and they consider that it is acceptable, they can grasp the story and the messages from the author through the translation.

I barely had time to drop my duffel bag before she jumped into my arms, and the kiss that followed was like its own magic kingdom, complete with its special language and geography, fabulous and wonders for the ages. I slipped my hand into hers knowing that I love her not only more than the last time I’d seen her, but more than I would ever love anyone. She crawled into bed beside me and adjusted the covers, pulling them up to her neck as if she were camping in the arctic. I put my arms around her, loving the feel of her body against mine. Despite the warm weather, she got the fire going, and we snacked on cheese and crackers, which aside from cereal, was about all she had to offer.
