Main Article Content
Abstract
Proper name contains lexical meaning as well as cultural meaning. This article identifies and analyses the translation procedures of Taoism proper names in Chinese-Malay texts. This analysis involves 312 Taoism proper names, collected manually from Xi You Ji, the classical masterpiece in Chinese literature by Wu Cheng’en (1506–1582) in China. The target text is Hikayat Jelajah ke Barat translated by Woo Tack Lock in 2015. For data collection and analysis purposes, the current study used the definition of proper names by Wang Li and Li Rui and employed the translation procedure of Taoism proper name by Zhang Wei Wei. The findings show that translation procedures, i.e., literal translation, transliteration, free translation, annotation, couplet and triplet can be used to convey the function of proper names. The current study also found new procedures, namely, generalisation, descriptive, addition, deletion and quadruplet employed in the translation. Exploring the lexical meaning and cultural meaning of proper names and the application of correct translation procedure are crucial in ensuring that target readers can fully comprehend the meaning of proper names.
Kata nama khas bukan sahaja mendukung makna leksikal, malahan turut sarat dengan makna budaya. Makalah ini bertujuan mengenal pasti dan menghuraikan prosedur terjemahan kata nama khas Taoisme dalam terjemahan bahasa Cina-bahasa Melayu. Data kajian melibatkan sejumlah 312 kata nama khas Taoisme yang dikutip secara manual daripada novel Xi You Ji, iaitu karya klasik agung dalam kesusasteraan China yang dihasilkan oleh Wu Cheng’en (1506–1582) di China. Teks terjemahannya Hikayat Jelajah ke Barat diterjemahkan oleh Woo Tack Lok pada tahun 2015. Bagi tujuan pengumpulan dan analisis data, kajian ini memanfaatkan definisi kata nama khas Wang Li dan Li Rui serta prosedur terjemahan kata nama khas Taoisme oleh Zhang Wei Wei. Hasil dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa prosedur terjemahan literal, transliterasi, bebas, anotasi, serangkai dan triplet dapat digunakan untuk menyalin fungsi kata nama khas. Kajian ini turut menemui lima prosedur baharu, iaitu generalisasi, deskriptif, penambahan, pengguguran dan kuadruplet. Sesungguhnya, usaha penerokaan makna leksikal dan makna budaya kata nama khas secara menyeluruh serta penerapan prosedur terjemahan yang berkesan adalah amat mustahak. Hal ini adalah untuk memastikan makna kata nama khas dapat diungkapkan secara penuh dan difahami oleh pembaca sasaran.
