Aesthetic-Poetic and Linguistic Translation

1. Aesthetic-Poetic

A poem by John Hollander “Swan and Shadow” was translated by Effendi Kadarisman

1)    Dusk. Above the water hang the loud files. Here. O so gray then. What? A pale signal will

appear. When? Soon before its shadow fades. Where? Here in this pool of opened eye. In us. No. Upon us. As at the very edges of where we take shape in the dark air, this object bares its image awakening ripples of recognition that will brush darkness up into light.

Below is an Indonesian translation (by Effendi Kadarisman):

2)     Senja. Di atas air mengambang karang kenangan. Di sini. O begitu kelabu saat itu. Apa?

Sebuah tanda putih-pasi akan mengada. Kapan? Segera sebelum lenyap bayang bayangnya. Di mana? Di sini, di kolam cendera mata. Di dalam diri kita. Tidak. Di atas kita. Ketika di ujung paling-sana kita menjati-diri pada rembang cuaca, wujud ini muncul seakan citra bangun-terbuka riak kenal-sua yang akan mengusir gelap ke dalam cahaya

Analysis

Effendi Kadarisman translated this poem mostly use literal technique because the writer translated the poem word by word. the poem is translatable linguistically, but not topographically. This is probably due to the fact that many monosyllabic words in the English original are replaced by bisyllabic or trisyllabic

words in the Indonesian translation.

2. Linguistic Translation

Television (TV) is a telecommunication medium that is used for transmitting and receiving moving images and sound. Television can transmit images that are monochrome (black-and-white), in color or in three dimensions.Television may also refer specifically to a television set, television program or television transmission. First commercially available in very crude form on an experimental basis in the late 1920s, then popularized in greatly improved form shortly after World War II, the television set has become commonplace in homes, businesses and institutions, particularly as a vehicle for entertainment, advertising and news. In the mid-1960s, color broadcasting and sales of color television sets surged in the US and began in most other developed countries. The availability of storage media such as VHS (mid-1970s), laserdiscs (1978), Video CDs (1993), DVDs (1997), and high-definition Blu-ray Discs (2006) enabled viewers to use the television set to watch recorded material such as movies and broadcast material. Since 2010s, Internet television has seen the rise of television programming available via the Internet through services such as iPlayer,Hulu, and Netflix.

Televisi adalah sebuah media telekomunikasi terkenal yang berfungsi sebagai penerima siaran gambar bergerak beserta suara, baik itu yang monokrom (hitam-putih) maupun berwarna. Penggunaan kata "Televisi" sendiri juga dapat merujuk kepada "kotak televisi", "acara televisi", ataupun "transmisi televisi". Penemuan televisi disejajarkan dengan penemuan roda, karena penemuan ini mampu mengubah peradaban dunia. Kotak televisi pertama kali dijual secara komersial sejak tahun 1920-an, dan sejak saat itu televisi telah menjadi barang biasa di rumah, kantor bisnis, maupun institusi, khususnya sebagai sumber kebutuhan akan hiburan dan berita serta menjadi media periklanan. Sejak1970-an, kemunculan kaset video, cakram laser, DVD dan kini cakram Blu-ray, juga menjadikan kotak televisi sebagai alat untuk untuk melihat materi siaran serta hasil rekaman. Dalam tahun-tahun terakhir, siaran televisi telah dapat diakses melalui Internet, misalnya melalui iPlayer dan Hulu.
