ABSTRACT PRASETYO, CHRISTIAN RAMA YUDHA. The Methods in Translating Gothic Context in Poe’s “The Masque of The Red Death” into “Setan Merah” Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Sanata Dharma University, 2014. Translating a literary work is not easy. There are many methods and strategies. There are many words, phrases, and sentences that cannot be directly translated. A good method is needed to translate a text, because a method can influence the result of translation. Therefore, it can be assumed that a good method in translating will result a good translation which can be understood by the reader. The thesis explores the readability of the Indonesian version of the gothic terms in “The Masque of The Red Death”. It also analyzes the methods applied the most in the translation of gothic terms based on Hervey and Higgins‟ translation methods, they are exoticism, cultural borrowing, calque, communicative translation, and cultural transplantation. The research is qualitative, conducting both field and library research to collect the data needed. The researcher finds out that the average score of the readability of gothic terms in Poe‟s short story is 1.35. It also discovers that the most method applied is communicative translation. It takes the highest percentage of 85% of the data. Communicative translation is the most suitable method to translate fiction work, because it is emphasizing more on the meaning. The form is structured in a way that it is readable to the reader. This method helped readers to understand more of the difficult terms in the literary works, because not all terms are familiar in Indonesian culture.

ABSTRAK PRASETYO, CHRISTIAN RAMA YUDHA. The Methods in Translating Gothic Context in Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of The Red Death” into “Setan Merah”. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Sanata Dharma University, 2014. Menerjemahkan sebuah karya sastra tidak mudah, ada banyak metode dan strategi. Banyak kata-kata, frase dan kalimat yang tidak dapat diterjemahkan secara langsung. Metode yang tepat dibutuhkan untuk menerjemahkan sebuah teks, karena metode dapat mempengaruhi hasil dari terjemahan, sehingga dapat di asumsikan bahwa dengan metode penerjemahan yang tepat dapat menghasilkan terjemahan yang baik dan mudah dipahami oleh pembaca. Penelitian ini meneliti tingkat keterbacaan dari terjemahan istilah-istilah gotik dalam cerita “The Masque of The Red Death”. Penelitian ini juga menganalisis metode penerjemahan yang digunakan untuk menerjemahkan istilahistilah gotik tersebut berdasarkan metode penerjemahan milik Hervey dan Higgins; yaitu exoticism, cultural borrowing, calque, communicative translation, dan cultural transplantation. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif, yang menggabungkan studi lapangan dan studi pustaka dengan tujuan mengumpulkan data yang dibutuhkan dalam penelitian. Peneliti menemukan bahwa rata-rata tingkat keterbacaan istilah-istilah gotik pada terjemahan cerita pendek Poe adalah 1.35. Peneliti juga menemukan bahwa metode yang paling banyak digunakan adalah communicative translation dengan presentase tertinggi 85% dari seluruh data. Communicative translation adalah metode yang paling sesuai untuk menerjemahkan cerita fiksi, karena lebih menekankan pada makna. Bentuk kalimatnya disusun sedemikian rupa sehingga dapat diterima oleh pembaca. Metode ini membantu pembaca untuk lebih memahami istilah-istilah asing dalam karya sastra, karena tidak semua istilah tersebut sering digunakan atau akrab dalam kebudayaan Indonesia.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study Novel, short story, and poem are examples of literary works. Reading a literary work is interesting because people can easily learn about different cultures from other countries, but the problem is that most of literary works are written in foreign language. To read those literary works in our own language, we need to translate those literary works. Therefore, translation is an important thing to deliver the message from source language (SL) to target language (TL). To deliver message from one language to another language, translation has a responsibility to disseminate many kind of literary works into another language. Specifically in literary work, translation deals with not only words, phrases, and sentences but also culture, society, and knowledge. Therefore, a translation process is not easy to be done. To understand a story, a reader of fiction must know the meaning of the story. Therefore, as a translator, understanding and knowing the idea of the story and what the author wants to say through the story is a must. The translator may not forget to deliver the idea without reducing, or change the message of the text in the process of translating into another language. There is an interesting issue in translating a text, especially a fiction that has complex sentences and specific terms. When translating a literary text, a translator has to pay attention to the linguistic, cultural differences, and the target readers.

1


2

Because literary works are created artistically by increasing the difficulty and length of perception (Huang, 2011:14). One of the American writers who usually use complex sentences and specific terms is Edgar Allan Poe. Edgar Allan Poe is well-known as a gothic writer. He wrote many short stories and poems, a text of play and a novel. His fiction is commonly an allusion from his own life. His experience about life which is complicated made his work full of terror, “provide with murky psychodrama and extreme conflict” (Miller, 1962: 372-373). One of Edgar Allan Poe‟s short stories is “The Masque of The Red Death” which has been translated into Indonesian as “Setan Merah”. In the story, there are many words, phrases, and sentences which describe gothic. Gothic are Poe‟s speciality to describe a horror or something terrible in his story. Poe‟s “The Masque of The Red Death” is an allegory about life, death and powerlessness of human to evade the grip of death. Based on the context of Poe‟s short story, the use of words or phrases such as the redness and the horror of blood is to give a feeling that the story is full of terror and horror. Translating a fiction story that uses specific terms will give positive effects, but sometimes it will make the reader confused because of their unfamiliarity. To know how a fiction story with specific context is translated well in target language (TL), this thesis tries to analyze the translation methods that are applied in the Poe‟s short story “The Masque of The Red Death” into “Setan Merah”. A right method is needed to translate a text, because a method can influence the


3

result of translation. Therefore, it can be assumed that a right method in translating will result a good translation which can be understood by the reader. In order to get a same feeling from ST to TT, a translator have to know the cultural background, because gothic terms that appear in ST may not be translated into TT because of the cultures different. Gothic originally was applied to a tribe of Germanic barbarians, and this term became associated with ghost stories and horror novel because early gothic novels were associated with Middle Ages. The gothic terms that appear in Poe‟s short story are interesting to analyze, because there are different perceptions when translating gothic terms to Indonesian culture with the “Gothic” in Western culture. The differences between Indonesian cultures with Western cultures highlight the translation methods applied in translating the gothic terms into Bahasa Indonesia. Therefore, choosing the right method to make a close equivalent in translating a translation is an important thing, because it can avoid misunderstanding. The readability of the translation gothic terms in Poe‟s “The Masque of The Red Death” into “Setan Merah” is also analyzed in this research in order to know how readable the translation is.

B. Problem Formulation The problems are formulated as follows. 1.

How is the readability of the translation gothic terms in Poe‟s “The Masque of The Red Death” into “Setan Merah”.


2.

What methods are applied the most in the translation of gothic terms in “The Masque of The Red Death”?

C. Objectives of Study The first research problem is to find out the readability of the gothic terms in Poe‟s “The Masque of The Red Death” into “Setan Merah”. The second research problem is to find out the translation methods applied in the Indonesian translation “The Masque of The Red Death” to reveal what methods are applied in order to achieve equivalent effect in the translation process of “The Masque of The Red Death” from English to Indonesian.

D. Definition of Terms Translation is defined translation as the expression in target language of what has been expressed in source language, preserving semantics and stylistics equivalence (Bell, 1991:5-6). Translation Method/Strategies is the translator‟s overall “game-plan”, consisting of a set of strategic decisions taken after an initial reading of the ST, but before starting detailed translation of it (Hervey and Higgins, 2002:6).

Gothic according to Merriam–Webster, gothic is relating to a style in writing that describes strange or frightening events that take place in mysterious places. (Merriam-Webster.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gothic). Based

on the context of Poe‟s short story which happened in the Middle Ages, phrases, words, sentences which are describing strange thing or frightening events and origin from Middl Ages are called as gothic terms.


5

According to Literary Terms and Definition, gothic became associated with ghost stories and horror novels because early gothic novels were often associated with the Middle Ages. (Literary Terms and Definition. http://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/lit_terms_G.html.) Readability, Dale and Chall said that “Readability is the sum total (including the ons) of all those elements within a given piece of printed material that affects the success a group of readers have with it” (Nababam, 1999:63).


CHAPTER II REVIEW OF LITERATURE

This chapter covers the review of related studies and the review of related theories that shows the relevance of the writers‟s research. There are two related studies that discussed, the first is Yemima Anggraeni Pribadi in her undergraduate thesis “The Study of Translation Methods in Translating Wizardry Terms in J.K Rowling‟s Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secret (2013). The second is Yoana Gita Pradnya Lengari in her undergraduate thesis “The Accuracy, Acceptability, and Translation Strategies of Indonesian Metaphors Translation in Twilight” (2012).

A. Review of Related Studies Pribadi in her undergraduate thesis “The Study of Translation Methods in Translating Wizardry Terms in J.K Rowling‟s Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secret (2013) analysed the SL and TL text to find out whether the results of translation of J.K Rowling‟s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret are having equivalent effect or not. Then she also analyzed the methods used in translating the wizardry terms and clasify them. The difference between Pribadi‟s undergraduate thesis and this research is the focus of the study, in this research the focus is on analyzing the method in translating the gothic terms and the readability of the gothic terms. Lengari in her undergraduate thesis “The Accuracy, Acceptability, and Translation Strategies of Indonesian Metaphors Translation in Twilight” (2012)

analysed how accurate and acceptable the translation of metaphors found in Twilight translation, and also what strategies are applied in translating the metaphors in order to be accurate and acceptable by using Larson‟s theory. There are differences between Lengari‟s undergraduate thesis and this research, in this research, the researcher analyzed the readability in order to know how readable the translation of gothic terms, and also analyzed the methods used in translating gothic terms by using Hervey and Higgins‟ theory.

B. Review of Related Theories To support the analysis, some theories are reviewed in this part. The theories are theory of translation, translation methods, and readability.

1.

Theory of Translation According to Newmark (1981:136) translation is demonstrably a science

when one is handling terms of art that have accepted equivalent and terms where one has to find the nearest possible equivalent. Hatim and Munday (2004:3) are also defined translation as the first sense focuses on the role of the translator in taking the original or source text (ST) and turning it into a text in another language (TT). Bell (1991:5-6) defines translation as the expression in target language of what has been expressed in source language, preserving semantics and stylistics equivalence. It is replacement of a text in one language by representation of an equivalent text in a second language. Translation transfers sentences from source


8

language into target language. Target language should have same meaning with the source language so that it does not lead to misunderstanding.

Hatim and Munday (2004:40-41) state that the attitude to translatability and comprehensibility has given rise to dynamic equivalence or formal equivalence. Formal equivalence is a relation which involves the purely formal replacement of one word of phrase in the SL by another in the TL. Formal equivalence is not same as literal translation because literal translation tend to preserve formal features while a formal translation is formal features that preserved only the text carry contextual valuees that become part of overall text meaning.

2.

The Theory of Translation Methods

a. Translation method by Peter Newmark According to Newmark (1981), there are two methods of translation, first is communicative translation and second is semantic translation. There are wide differences between communicative translation and semantic translation. Communicative translation attempt to produce on its readers an effect as close as posible to that obtained on the readers of the original while semantic translation attempts to render, as cloesely as the semantic and syntactic structures of the SL. Not only that communicative translation try to make the thought of cultural content of the original easier to understand to the readers while the semantic translation remains within the original culture. Communicative translation is smoother, simpler, clearer, more direct, more conventional, conform to a particular register of language, more understandable.


Semantic translation is more complex, awkward, detailed, concentrated,

9

and

pursue the thought-processes rather than the intention of transmitter. Most of non literary writing, journalism, informative articles and books, textbooks, reports, scientific and technological writing, propaganda, publicity, and popular fiction represent typical material for communicative translation. For semantic translation, is represented in contents such as philosophical, religious, political, scientific, technical and literary. Those contents are represented as semantic

translation

because

it

needs

to

be

translated

semantically

(Newmark,1981:44). Newmark also stated that a translation can be more or less semantic – more or less communicative – even a particular section or sentence can be treated more communicatively or less semantically (1981:40).

b.

Translation method by Sandor Hervey and Ian Higgins Some methods from Sandor Hervey and Ian Higgins will be used in this

research. In their book, they explained about translation methods that related with the cultural term. They mention some various kinds of cultural transposition which can be alternative to analyze Source Language (SL)-biased literal translation. It means that as a translator tool, cultural transposition can suppress the cultural elements of the source text to make space for the cultural elements of the target text. Some degree of cultural transposition that involves the choice of features original to the Target Language (TL) and the target culture in preference to feature with their root in the source culture. The result is to reduce the


10

„foreignness‟ or the specific term in the TL. In some extents, it is „naturalizing‟ into the TL and its cultural setting. (2002:33) The various degree of cultural transposition can be visualized as points along a scale. It starts between the extremes of exoticism which mostly based on source culture and the other part is cultural transplantation which is mostly based on on the target culture. Cultural

Exoticism Exoticism is a part of literal translations which has the extreme option in

indicating cultural foreignness in a TL. A TL is translated in exotic manner to convey the signals of the exotic source culture and its cultural strangeness. It is a choice to import the linguistic and cultural features from SL to TL. In this process, the adaptation is rarely used to maintain the cultural foreignness. The result here is that foreign features remained in the TL. The only possible advantage of the literal translation is its exoticism, but this advantage is cancelled by two things: the obscurity of the TL and the lack of contextual meaning. If there were good reasons for preserving the exoticism, one could diminish these advantages by indirectly signaling in the TL (2002:34). For example, I want to check this file which is translated into Saya ingin memeriksa file ini. The word file can also be


11

translated into berkas but to give an exotic nuance, the word file is still translated into file. ii.

Cultural borrowing The method is particularly to transfer a SL expression faithfully into the TL.

The translator will choose it when it shows impossible to find a suitable TL expression of original for translating the SL expression. A vital condition of cultural borrowing is that the textual context of the TL should make the meaning of the borrowed expression clear. Cultural borrowing will be most frequent in text on history or social or political matters, where the simplest solution is to give a definition of term like „departement‟, or „pre-revolution‟ „parlement‟ and then to use the SL word in the TT (Hervey et al, 2002:36). Furthermore, when the term of SL has already passed into the TL without significant change of meaning, the constituting standard conventional equivalents of the SL borrowed. In this case, the translator may use significant decision of the TL which equivalent to the SL. For example, demokrasi, bank, and gender. Those words are borrowed and sometimes are naturalized. iii. Calque Calque is an expression that consists of TL words and is acceptable as TL syntax, but is unidiomatic in the TL because it is modeled on the structure of an SL expression. In essence, calque is a form of literal translation. A bad calque is imitating ST features to the point of being ungrammatical in the TL, while a good calques manages to compromise between imitating a SL structure and not


12

offending against the grammar of the TL. Furthermore, some calqued expressions become standard TL cultural equivalent of the SL. For example are French „poids moucche‟, calqued on English „flyweight‟; French-Canadian „bienvennue‟ calque in English „you‟re welcome‟. Like all forms of cultural borrowing, calque shows signs of a certain degree of exoticism, bringing into the TL the cultural foreignness and strangeness of the source cultures (Hervey et al, 2002:35). Another example of calque, everytime I say good bye to you, I die a little which is translated into setiap kali aku mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepadamu, aku mati sedikit. This translation is like word to word translation. iv. Communicative translation It is different from cultural borrowing since the translator may choose for communicative translation. This is often necessary to transfer culturally conventional principle where a literal rendering would be inappropriate. For example, many proverbs, idioms, and clichés have readily expressed communication equivalents in the TL. It can be assumed that communicative translation is appropriate in the context because it render the situational impact with the TL expression (2002:37). For example, it is raining cats and dogs which is translated into Hujan sangat lebat. v.

Cultural transplantation Cultural transplantation is the opposite end of level from exoticism which is

the extreme from of all translation, but more like adaptations. The whole part in SL is transplanted into the rewritten expressions of TL. However, on certain points of detail as long as they do not have the impact of the expression that make


13

the TT strange, cultural transplantation maybe considered as a serious option. Normal translation seems avoid the two levels of exoticism and cultural transplantation. (Hervey et al, 2002:34). For example, in Lafontaine‟s fable, fox is substituted as kancil, and keju is substituted as dendeng. 3.

Theory of Readability According to Sakri in Nababan (1999:62) readability is derajat kemudahan

sebuah tulisan untuk dipahami maksudnya (the degree of facilitation of a written text to be understood and read, my translation) and a same definition also stated by Richard in Nababan (1999:62) “how easily written material can be read and understood”. But, on those statement there is no reader‟s participation, since to know that a translation is readable or not, it must be a reader who assess the text, so Dale and Chall in Nababan (1999:63) state that readability, the sum total (including the ons) of all those elements within a given piece of printed material that affects the success a group of readers have with it. Participation of the readers to assess the readability of a text is an important thing, because the purpose of translating a text is to be read by the reader. According to Nababan‟s in “Strategi Penilaian Kualitas Terjemahan” In Jurnal Linguistik Bahasa there are indicators of readability assessment that is used. Table 2.1. Readability Indicator Score 1 2 3

Readability Indicators The TT text is easy to understand. The TT is not really understood, indicated by a dubious meaning. The TT text cannot be understood.

“M.R. Nababan, "Strategi Penilaian Kualitas Terjemahan", Jurnal Linguistik Bahasa. 54-65” (with Modification) Table 2.2. Readability‟s Score Category Score 1-1.6 1.7-2.3 2.4 – 3

Readability Category Readable Quite readable Not readable

“M.R. Nababan, "Strategi Penilaian Kualitas Terjemahan", Jurnal Linguistik Bahasa. 54-65” (with Modification) The researcher used Nababan‟s indicators of readability because it is simple and easy to be applied. It is also suitable because it can be applied to measure the phrases or sentences. In readability, the respondent are just asked to choose the score between ranges 1-3, 1 is for readable translation, 2 is for a quite readable translation, and 3 is for not readable translation. The score range results from the average score obtained from the respondent. C. Theoretical Framework In this research, the researcher discussed two problems related to the theories and studies by using the theory of translation, translation methods and readability. The first problem formulation focuses on the readability of translation gothic terms in Poe‟s “The Masque of The Red Death”. The problem will be answered using the Nababan‟s theory of readability and it is completed by the studies on translation strategies from two undergraduate theses. Nababan‟s instrument is used to measure how readable the translation of gothic terms in Poe‟s “The Masque of The Red Death”. After knowing the


15

readability of gothic translation, this research focus on how the Newmark‟s methods or Hervey and Higgins‟ methods are applied in translating gothic terms from English into Indonesian. The theories of translation method are applied in this undergraduate thesis in order to analyze what methods are used in translating Poe‟s “The Masque of The Red Death”.

The review of related studies provides the source to the researcher about the researches that have been done before, which is related to the topic that the researcher uses in this study.


CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY A. Areas of Research The area of this research is text analysis and translation. The analysis of translated texts involves the textual comparison of a translation with its original (Williams and Chesterman, 2002:6). The focus on this research is the analysis of readability and the methods of translation in translating the gothic terms. The readability analysis is used to examine how readable translation text of gothic terms. Analyzing the methods of translation applied in translating the gothic terms are used to know what kind of methods that are used by translator to translate the gothic terms. B. Object of the Study The object of this study is gothic term from Poe‟s short story titled “The Masque of The Red Death” and the Indonesian translation “Setan Merah”. The focus of this analysis is the gothic terms appearing in the story. Gothic term could be word, phrase, or sentences. First part of the analysis will be about the readability of the Indonesian translation “Setan Merah”, in order to determine the terms are readable or not. Second part of the analysis will be about the translation methods that are used by translator to translate Poe‟s short story “The Masque of The Red Death” into “Setan Merah”. C. Method of the Study The library research and field research were employed. The library research is needed to obtain extra information about the theories and concept that could 16


17

support the analysis in this thesis. The field research is used to find out the readability of the translation through the questionnaire and analyze the method of translation. Respondents are needed to assess the readability of the translation. D. Research Procedure 1.

Types of Data

a.

Objective Data Objective data are taken from the source text (ST) and target text (TT). This

thesis has two data as its objects. The first is gothic terms taken from Tales of Edgar Allan Poe published by Random House Of New York. The book contains of twenty seven Poe‟s stories and 561 pages. The story that is used as source text in this research is “The Masque of The Red Death”. “The Masque of The Red Death” contains 8 pages. There are 37 data that are collected from Poe‟s short story “The Masque of The Red Death”. The second object is the gothic terms taken from Kisah - Kisah Tengah Malam which is published by Gramedia Pustaka Utama in 2010. The book contains of fourteen translated story of Edgar Allan Poe, one of them is “Setan Merah” which is used as target text.. The data of gothic terms consist of words, phrases, or sentences. Based on the context of Poe‟s short story which happened in the Middle Ages, phrases, words, sentences which are describing strange thing or frightening events are called as gothic terms. The data from ST are listed and compared with Indonesian translation or target text (TT), then the data from TT is used to make a questionnaire that will be given to the respondent. The data is stated in complete sentence and then analyzed to find out the method that came along with it.


18

b. Affective Data Affective data are taken from the readers, respondents or both. These data might be garnered from the questionnaires, interviews, observation, and focused group discussion. The survey research was used in this thesis to collect the affective data from respondent. The data were used to keep validity of the data. People who like reading a novel or short story or prose, especially Edgar Allan Poe‟s work was chosen to assess the readability of the translation. There were nine respondents that assessed the readability questionnaire. The respondents were the students of English Letters Department, Sanata Dharma University who were in 8 semesters or year of 2010. Since there were four classes in the year of 2010, 2 students of each class were selected to assess the questionnaires. One respondent was selected from the tutors of structure class. The respondents were chosen because they have a good grade of the course in literature and linguistics. 2.

Data Collection The data in this thesis were taken from the text and questionnaires. The data

of gothic terms in “The Masque of The Red Death” were chosen as the main source. The data were taken from all pages in “The Masque of The Red Death” from the whole story randomly. The main data were the words, phrases or sentences that related with gothic terms. All the gothic terms in “The Masque of The Red Death” and “Setan Merah” were highlighted to help the writer highligting the data. The data in the sentences that have been highlighted were listed in a column titled source text (ST) and target text (TT). All the data from ST


19

and TT would be analyzed in the next part. This could be useful in the analysis because the translation of those words and the differences can be seen clearly. Code

Population and Sample The population of the data was gothic terms that consist of words, phrases or

sentences in Poe‟s works “The Masque of The Red Death” or its translation “Setan Merah”. From 8 pages in “The Masque of The Red Death”, 37 data that were collected were related to gothic terms. Those data were used to assess the readability and to find the methods applied in translating “The Masque of The Red Death” into “Setan Merah”. Since there were only 37 data, no samples were taken. All the population were analyzed. 4.

Translation Method Communicative translation

The term „grotesque‟ according to Oxford dictionary means „ugly or absurd in offensive way‟. Because Poe‟s works are well-known with a gothic, the translator is trying in his or her language to make it feel same with the original by translating the word „grotesque‟ into mengerikan rather than translate it into aneh or jelek.

In this data, 5 of the respondents give score 2. They think that there is problem in the phrase kamar terakhir bernuansa hitam, it can be interpreted into two meanings, the first is a room painted with black color and the second is a horror room. Also the words tertegun and bisu have a closed meaning. Based on KBBI tertegun means terdiam which means no sound or not do anything while bisu based on KBBI also has a meaning no sound. So, the word bisu in phrase tertegun bisu is better removed because the word tertegun already gives the meaning of bisu or silent. If tertegun and bisu appear in one phrase, the meaning is reversing. When someone tertegun of course he/she will not do anything even speaks, in this case he/she will silent. 2.

Exoticism Method Exoticism method is a method that used to give “exotic” nuance to the

The word „fatal‟ is translated into fatal in TL. Actually, in Indonesian based on KBBI fatal has meaning mematikan, or in English, causing or ending in death. The translator translated the word „fatal‟into fatal because he/she wants to make the reader feels like the original. The word „fatal‟ can also be translated into mematikan but the translation of fatal is still readable because it carries the meaning of the SL. The word is rooted of Latin fatalis „ordained by fate‟, from fatum „sense of causing death‟ (http://www.etymonline.com) Word “hideous” which is translated into mengerikan of course is not an exotic method. The word “hideous” here can be classified to communicative method because based on Shadily and Echols‟ English-Indonesian Dictionary,


39

“hideous” means seram or mengerikan. It is already emphasized on the message meaning. The focus of this data is on the word “fatal” which is translated into fatal because the exotic nuance is shown in that word, it keeps the originality of the word. No

Here, the translator again wants to give the original nuance from SL to the TL. The word fantastis is still carries the meaning of „fantastic‟ in the SL, the meaning is closed related, it can be understood by the reader even the word is translated to fantastis. 2.

Communicative Method The method of communicative is emphasized on the message meaning. This

method is used to translate words or phrases that can make the reader confused or not understand to the context. The semantic translation by Newmark is involved in this category because the type produces the contextual meaning in TL which is


40

equivalent with the SL meaning. It is similar with communicative translation which render the message of SL into TL as close as possible to the original. Here the analysis will be explained by 6 data: No

„Horror of the blood‟ is translated into meneror, and based on KBBI meneror means do a cruel thing to make someone fear or scared. „Horror‟ is also translated into takut, and based on KBBI takut means feels of fear. The translator attempts to communicate the message that horror is a situation that can make someone feels of fear or there is something cruel that makes someone feels of fear in this context is blood. This method results the effect in readers‟ understanding to the original context and the translation is clearer and readable. The phrases „the redness‟, „expressive of disapprobation and surprise‟ „of terror‟ and „of disgust‟ which are translated into merahnya yang menyala, menunjukkan reaksi ngeri and jijik are using a communicative method in

translating those phrases. By translating „redness‟ into merahnya yang menyala, „expressive of disapprobation and surprise‟ into menunjukkan reaksi ngeri, and „of disgust‟ into jijik the translator tries to emphasize the message meaning. No 3

(http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/glowed). Barbaric based on the Oxford‟s Dictionary means brutal, cruel or like a barbarian which is primitive. The translator wants to emphasize the meaning from SL to the TL therefore the translation is translated into menunjukkan hawa nafsu binatang meletup-letup. it can be understood that menunjukkan hawa nafsu binatang meletup-letup is a cruel act and it is like a primitive. 4.

In the literary translation, the plot, the theme, and the message are maintained, but the setting and the characters are substituted into local setting and characters. For example Mr.Smith substituted with Pak Sumito. In this data the adaption is shown in the translation of „Red Death‟ into Setan Merah. No

„Red Death‟ in Poe‟s short story “The Masque of The Red Death” which is from western culture is a symbol of death. It is like a “Black Death” that happened in Europe in the middle ages. Translating a symbol like „Red Death‟ into Indonesian culture which does not have a symbol without give explanations about what the symbol can make the readers confused. To make it easy to understand, the translator tries to translate „Red Death‟ into Setan Merah which is sounded familiar in Indonesian culture. „Death‟ based on Oxford Dictionary means the action or fact of dying or being killed or in Indonesian based on Shadily and Echols‟ English-Indonesian means kematian while Setan in English is „Ghost‟. In Indonesian culture, most people are more afraid with a ghost than with a death. The aim of the translator here is clear that he/she wants to keep the meaning of the message.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION “The Masque of The Red Death” contains many of gothic terms which signify the nuance of gothic story. There are 37 data that are classified as gothic terms. Those terms are analyzed to find out how readable the translation of gothic terms and what kind of method applied in translating gothic terms. The result of the first analysis shows that the score of the translation of gothic terms in “The Masque of The Red Death” is 1.35 which means readable. From total 37 data there are 27 data readable, 9 data quite readable and 1 data not readable. It indicated that the translation of gothic terms can be understood and readable by the reader. The next result shows the method applied in translating gothic terms. Based on Hervey and Higgins‟ theory about translation methods, the communicative translation takes 87% data as the highest percentage in the translation and the rests are exoticism method which takes 5%, calque method which takes 3%, and cultural transplantation which takes 5%. It proves that the translator used communicative method to translate the gothic terms in Poe‟s short story “The Masque of The Red Death”. It also proves that translating a text using a communicative method is readable especially translating gothic terms. To conclude, the best way to translate work-fiction such as Poe‟s work is using communicative translation, because the method makes the text readable and

easy to understand by the reader. Moreover, this method can avoid the reader confusion and misunderstanding the gothic terms, especially in Poe‟s “The Masque of The Red Death”.
