C. Answer these question briefly

1. Translation is to transfer the meaning from source language into target language.
Collocation is semantically arbitrary restrictions which do not follow logically from the
propositional meaning of a word. (Baker, 1992:47).
The relationship between collocation and translation is where there is an accepted collocation in
the source language, the translator must find and use its equivalent in the target language if it
exists.
Example: Verb and Noun
Source Text Translation Based on Literal Translation Based on
Meaning Collocation
Melakukan perjalanan Do a trip Make trip
Melakukan kunjungan Do a visit Pay a visit
Minum obat Drink medicine Take medicine
Mengalami kecelakaan Experience an accident Have an accident

2. Translating is not an easy task, because some problem may arise, such as:
1) Problem in collocation from Indonesian to English or English to Indonesian.
 2) Lacking of knowledge about mastery linguistic science from source language and target
language.
3) Lacking of vocabulary building.
4) Problem of ambiguity (when a word or a phrase or a sentence has more than one meaning).
Then, the manner to overcome/ minimize the problems, there are:
1) Increase reading English book such as novel, magazine, or newspaper in English not in
Indonesian.
2) Learn educated vocabulary, grammar, and conversation patterns.
3) Try to do not translate from our target language (English) to our mother language
(Indonesian).
4) Force our self to think in English, and translating will come naturally.
5) Do not ever stop to learn and learn.

Pohon
Dalam sebuah perjalan seorang ayah dengan puteranya, sebatang pohon kayu nan tinggi
ternyata menjadi hal yang menarik untuk mereka simak. Keduanya pun berhenti di bawah
rindangnya pohon tersebut. Anakku, ucap sang ayah tiba-tiba. Anak usia belasan tahun ini pun
menatap lekat ayahnya. Dengan sapaan seperti itu, sang anak paham kalau ayahnya akan
mengucapkan sesuatu yang serius. Adakah pelajaran yang bisa kau sampaikan dari sebuah
pohon? lanjut sang ayah sambil tangan kanannya meraih batang pohon di dekatnya. Menurutku,
pohon bisa menjadi tempat berteduh yang nyaman, penyimpanan air yang bersih dari kotoran, dan
penyeimbang kesejukan udara jawab sang anak sambil matanya menanti sebuah kepastian.
Bagus jawab sang ayah. Tapi, ada hal lain yang menarik untuk kita simak dari sebuah
pohon tambah sang ayah sambil tiba-tiba wajahnya mendongak ke ujung dahan yang paling atas.
Perhatikan ujung pepohonan yang kamu lihat. Semuanya tegak lurus ke arah yang sama.
Walaupun ia berada di tanah yang miring, pohon akan memaksa dirinya untuk tetap lurus menatap
cahaya, jelas sang ayah. Anakku, ucap sang ayah sambil tiba-tiba tangan kanannya meraih
punggung puteranya. Jadikan dirimu seperti pohon, dalam keadaan apa pun, tetap lurus mengikuti
cahaya kebenaran, ungkap sang ayah begitu berkesan.
