Abstract
Abstract
This research tries to find the strategies used to translate idioms found in Fury’s Bahasa Indonesia subtitle and their relation to the degrees of meaning equivalence. This research applies descriptive qualitative method to describe the aims of this study. There are 126 data found in and to analyse them sampling technique, listening technique, note-taking technique, and content analysis are applied. The translation strategies used here are proposed by Baker and Newmark. While the degrees of equivalence are analysed using Bell’s. From 126 data, it is found that translating by paraphrasing is the mostly used, 90 or 67.4%. Then followed by literal translation (18 data) and translating by using idiom of similar meaning and form (11 data). Translation by omission and by using similar meaning but different form are the least used, they consist of 6 and 1 data. The strategies used show that only translation by using idiom of similar meaning and form that results fully equivalent idioms. Translation by paraphrasing and literal translation result the same various degrees of meaning; fully-equivalent, increased meaning, decreased meaning, and different meaning. The omission results fully-equivalent and no meaning. The using of similar idiom but different form results different meaning.
