Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengungkapkan dan mendeskripsikan metode-metode penerjemahan metafora dalam novel Peter Pan karya J.M. Barrie. Hal itu disebabkan oleh metafora merupakan bahasa figuratif yang dalam proses penerjemahannya ditemukan kesulitan untuk mencari kesepadanannya dalam bahasa sasaran. Dalam penelitian ini, proses penerjemahan tersebut dianalisis melalui delapan metode penerjemahan, yakni penerjemahan kata per kata, penerjemahan literal, penerjemahan setia, penerjemahan semantis, penerjemahan komunikatif, penerjemahan idiomatis, penerjemahan bebas, dan penerjemahan adaptasi. Sementara itu, penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif komparatif, yaitu membandingkan metafora dalam novel Inggris dalam novel Peter Pan dengan terjemahan metafora dalam novel terjemahan berbahasa Indonesia. Data metafora dianalisis secara kualitatif berdasarkan metode penerjemahannya. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa (1) perbedaan sistem kebahasaan serta pola pikir pengguna bahasa sumber dengan bahasa sasaran menyebabkan tidak semua metafora dapat diterjemahkan dengan menggunakan padanan metafora dalam bahasa sasaran dan (2) dengan menggunakan metafora yang tepat, penerjemah dapat menyampaikan berbagai makna metafora teks sumber ke dalam teks sasaran tanpa mengubah makna dan citranya.Metaphor is a figurative language whose formation is influenced by cultural background thus the equivalent of source language cannot necessarily be found in the target language. The application of the translation methods can affect the result of translation equivalent.  Therefore, this research aims to identify and describe the methods of metaphor translation in the J.M. Barrie’s novel, “Peter Pan”. This is a comparative research since it compares the metaphors found in the English source novel with their translations in its Indonesian translated novel. The metaphorical expressions used as the data are in the form of word, phrase, and clause which were taken purposively and were analyzed descriptively qualitatively based on Newmark’s theory of translation methods. The result shows that (1) there are eight translation methods which are used by the translator such as word-for-word translation, literal translation, faithful translation, semantic translation, communicative translation, idiomatic translation, free translation, and adaptation translation; (2) the difference in the linguistic system between the source language and the target language causes not all the metaphorical expressions are able to be translated with the equivalent metaphorical expressions; and (3) translation equivalent can be achieved if the translator is able to adjust the translation methods with the type of metaphorical expressions to be translated.

This study discusses the translation of imperative sentences contained in a literary work in the form of a novel. In general, the use of imperative sentences is characterized by the meaning of orders and prohibitions. However, there are differences between the imperative sentences of one language and another. Methods of data analysis are using translational equivalent method and glossing technique. The data were analyzed in two stages. First, categorizing the translation techniques used based on the theory of translation techniques according to Molina and Albir (20002), and second, determining the translation method using the theory of the translation method according to Newmark (1988). Based on the analysis, there were eight types of translation techniques found, namely 1) adaptation techniques; 2) amplification techniques; 3) established equivalent techniques; 4) generalization techniques; 5) linguistic compression techniques; 6) literal translation techniques; 7) modulation techniques; and 8) reduction techniques. Furthermore, translation method classified based on the orientation of the source language and target language is found. The translation method which is oriented to the source language consists of two translation methods, namely the semantic translation method and the literal translation method. Meanwhile, the translation method which is oriented towards the target language consists of three translation methods, namely the free translation method, the idiomatic translation method, and the communicative translation method. The results of this study indicate the translation method that is most widely used in this research is free translation method so that the translation of the imperative sentences applied in translating the novel Girls in the Dark by Andry Setiawan tends to be oriented towards the target language.

In recent years, an increasing amount of excellent foreign novels and short stories are translated and introduced into China while limited Chinese short stories are presented overseas. This paper, on the basis of Nida’s functional equivalence theory, analyzes and reviews the translated version of the short story “Mr. Big” written by Jiang Zilong through the application of functional equivalence theory from lexical and syntactic level. The translator, with the target language reader at the core, fully comprehends the original text, emotions, style, and mood of the short story, and appropriately uses various translation methods, such as transliteration with annotation and literal translation for translating culture-loaded words; literal translation, liberal translation, supplementary translation, divided translation, adapted translation, conversed translation, etc. to faithfully reproduce the original content and artistic style of the original work, and achieve functional equivalence. This paper is supposed to enhance the foreign understanding of Jiang Zilong’s short story and to provide reference and inspirations for Chinese-English translation of novels and short stories.
