1. These are the things I know are true: Ini adalah hal yang saya tahu adalah benar: Inilah hal-hal yang aku tahu benar:

Analysis:

Google doesn‟t translate it in plural. The word “things” is only translated into “hal” It should be translated into “hal-hal” because the word

„things‟ is plural.

Google translated the word “I” into “saya”, but it is not proper in novel language. It should be translated into “aku”.


1. My name is LuLing Liu Young. Nama saya LuLing Liu Young. Namaku LuLing Liu Young.

Analysis:

Google translated phrase “My name” into “nama saya”, but it is not proper in novel language. It should be translated into “Namaku”.


1.

The names of my husbands were Pan

Kai Jing and Edwin Young, both of

them dead and our secrets gone with

Nama-nama suami saya adalah Pan Kai Jing

dan EdwinYoung, keduanya mati dan

rahasia kami pergi dengan mereka.

Nama-nama suamiku adalah Pan Kai Jing

dan Edwin Young, keduanya meninggal

dan rahasia-rahasia kami hilang bersama

mereka.

Analysis:

Google translated word (posessive pronoun) “my” into “saya”, but it is not proper in novel language. It should be translated into “ku” (short

of “aku”).

Google translated the word “dead”into “mati” It should be translated into “meninggal” because the subject is human. So, google cannot

differentiate which one the subject interpreted into „mati‟ and „meninggal‟.

Then Google doesn‟t translate it in plural. The word “secrets” is only translated into “rahasia” It should be translated into “rahasia-rahasia”

because the word „secrets‟ is plural.

And Google translated the phrase “gone with” into “pergi dengan” which sounds unnatural. So the translator translated into “hilang

bersama” to make it clear.

natural.

Google translated the word (posessive pronoun) “my” into “saya”, but it is not proper in novel language. It should be translated into “ku”
