Abstract

Translating Indonesian texts into English versions is a complicated task for students to do. It isshown by them when they do translation in the classroom. The problems usually come intotheir mind when they have to search equivalent words, appropriate grammar and acceptedstructure for target language they will produce. This scene can be observed when they dotranslating activity individually. They just do it themselves without doing collaboration with theirfriends. They only look up a dictionary and think of it themselves. In this situation a teacher justassigns the task and assesses it, no more to do. As a result, the translation products of thestudents are poor. Therefore, in order to improve the students’ translation ability and quality oftranslation, the teacher should teach the students translation by using a Cooperative WorkProcedure (CWP) in their translation process. This procedure can lead the students be able totranslate well and produce good translation products because they do translating process in acollaborative group.

Abstract

Translation has exposed a number of problems related to the linguistic domain. Suchproblems may stem from socio-cultural differences between the source language and thetarget language. They may also stem from the differences of the grammatical featuresbetween the two languages. Therefore, such problems have influenced the effort of achievingcorrespondence as well as equivalence; one of such problems is the existence of formalnonequivalence. This research aims to solve the problems of (1) how such formalnonequivalence appears in the translation of behavioral clauses and (2) how to achievefunctional equivalence through the presence of formal nonequivalence. This study wasdirected to deliberately analyze a written text in English and its translation in Indonesian. Itwas found out that formal nonequivalence may occur in word, phrase, and clause levels.Such formal nonequivalence has, however, facilitated the effort of achieveing functionalequivalence at clause level. In order to materialize functional equivalence at the clause level,the translation has been done by means of maintaining behavioral clauses or restructuringthem to form material clauses, mental clauses, or verbal clauses.
