Translation means changing the text from source language into Target Language. In Oxford Advance Learner’s Dictionary accessed from internet on June 12th, 2015, translation is the process of changing something that is written or spoken into another language. Larson (1984:3) states that “Translation is transferring the meaning of the source language into the receptor language. This is done by going from the form of the first language to the form of a second language by way of semantic structure”. It is meaning which is being transferred and must be held constant. From those definitions it can be concluded that translation is a communication form. Therefore, translation becomes a complex process.
Different culture being a significant problem in translation, therefore a translator must find the equivalent meaning without reducing the meaning which contained in source language. To create qualify translation, it need annotated explanation. The research about annotated translation is not new thing in Indonesia. There are many researches of annotated translations in some universities and colleges that have made this kind of research such as Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Gunadarma, STBA LIA and so forth.

    Personal Narrative: The Mexican American Identity Crisis

    I have a small identity crisis every time I am asked where I’m from. My first instinct is to say I’m American. However, I always struggle to say it because of how I look. I’m not your average blue eyed and blonde haired American; I’m your brown eyed, brown haired, and tan skinned American that lives right by the border and is always asked to be a translator. One thing I failed to mention, I can only say about three phrases in Spanish.…

    Brian Friel's Translations

    In Translations, by Brian Friel, language is used as a mechanism to feature the many issues of communication within the characters’ small Irish village. Throughout the play, Friel attempts to advocate for the Irish language because he believes that language represents one’s identity and historical background. Unfortunately, the town, and specifically the local school, have been appropriated by British officers, whose main goal is to transition the school into an entirely English-spoken school, as opposed to allowing the residents’ native Irish language. To begin, a few characters presume to be the main people this act focuses on; Maire, Doalty, Bridget, and two English soldiers. These characters have various views on…

    The Four Resource Model

    The Four Resource model was created by Freebody and Luke in the 1990s as previous literacy models were essential, but not sufficient. Previous approaches include the skills approach, whole language approach and genre approach (Anstey, 2002). The Four Resource model assists with the development of the ability to analyse tasks, solve problems, identify resources and self monitor which are essential to being a competent reader (Anstey, 2002). This model aims for balanced content for the development of resources used in reading practices (code breaker, meaning maker, text user and text analyst) (Anstey, 2002).…

    Allyn And Bacon Chapter 7 Summary

    As described, the two types of annotations are: summary-only and evaluative. Summary-only is an annotation without any addition comments from the bibliography author. Evaluative annotations include the author’s critique of the work. Three features of annotated bibliographies are the rhetorical information, a summary of the source’s content, and the writer’s evaluation of the source. Since the idea of an annotated bibliography is unfamiliar to me, it was very helpful that chapter 7 included examples of both summary-only annotations, and evaluative.…

    Adaptation And Translation Analysis

    Adaptation and translation It is a well-known fact that in order to obtain a perfect translation, one must go beyond the superficial meaning of the words. And is very important to extract what the words mean in a particular situation according to the cultural context. Considering the cultural element helps us understand that the translator is not only person involved in the translation process, he also gives us a new culture with another way of thinking, deep understanding the culture of another nations. For instance, in the book entitled Leaving the Atocha Station by Ben Lerner, the main character, Adam Gordon, is a young American poet who came to Madrid, Spain, for a fellowship, translates some poetry. Adam’s translation was a translation of converting words or text from one language into another; in other words, he was adapting poetry by using the exact equivalent or close by meaning…
