Abstract

This paper describes the types of irony used by Charles Dickens in his notable early work, Oliver Twist, as well as the reasons the irony was chosen. As a figurative language, irony is utilized to express one’s complex feelings without truly saying them. In Oliver Twist, Dickens brought the readers some real social issues wrapped in dark, deep written expressions of irony uttered by the characters of his novel. Undoubtedly, the novel had left an impact to the British society at the time. The irony Dickens displayed here includes verbal, situational, and dramatic irony. His choice of irony made sense as he intended to criticize the English Poor Laws and to touch the public sentiment. He wanted to let the readers go beyond what was literally written and once they discovered what the truth was, they would eventually understand Dickens’ purposes.

Abstract

Translation is a product of the process called translating. In translating, a translator has to make sure the translation has the equivalent meaning to the source texts. There many theories on how to have a good translation; one of the theories is dynamic equivalence theory.  In this paper, the writers would like to discuss deeper about the use of dynamic equivalence theory in translating process where English as a source language and Bahasa Indonesia as the target language. The implementation of dynamic equivalence theory is discussed together with the examples and explanation about why dynamic equivalence is used and why some words are chosen in translation and not the other words.  It shows that when word-to-word translation cannot make sense the meaning of the target language dynamic equivalence theory offers flexibility for the translator to translate and to make sense the meaning of the translation.
