Abstract :
The purpose of this research is to find out what metaphorical expressions
which are used and how to translate the metaphorical expressions in Christopher
Nolan?s film Interstellar. The research explains the metaphorical expression and
the method to translate it. The explanation shows about metaphorical expression
which classifies the metaphor into three parts: Structural Metaphor, Orientational
Metaphor, and Ontological Metaphor. The method to translate metaphorical
expression uses classification using Semantic feature to either it is Event
Proposition or State Proposition, then the words and phrases can be identified the
topic, figurative meaning, point of similarity, and non-figurative meaning. The
result of this research is Structural Metaphor consists of 38 data, Ontological
Metaphor consists of 24 data, and Orientational Metaphor consists of 7 data and
the data of Metaphor Translation Concept, such as: Method 1 consists of 36 data,
method 2 consists of 14 data, and method 3 consists of 19 data. The conclusion is
Structural Metaphor is the most common metaphorical expression which appears
in the script of film, and the method 1 is the most common method to translate the
metaphor. According to Larson (1988) there are five metaphor translation strategy
concepts, they are (1) the metaphor may be kept if the receptor language permits,
(2) a metaphor may be translated as a simile, (3) a metaphor of the receptor
language which has the same meaning may be substituted, (4) the metaphor may
be kept and the meaning explained, and (5) the meaning of the metaphor may be
translated without keeping the metaphorical imaginary. However, the researcher
only uses three of them, which are (1) the metaphor may be kept if the receptor language permits, (2) a metaphor may be translated as a simile, (3) a metaphor of
the receptor language which has the same meaning may be substituted. The
researcher, therefore, suggests that other researchers employ the other two
remaining metaphor translation strategy concepts: the metaphor may be kept and
the meaning explained and the meaning of the metaphor may be translated
without keeping the metaphorical imaginary.
