Abstract
Cilj je ovog rada istražiti različite strategije kojima se prevoditelji služe kada se suočavaju s poteškoćama koje poredbe i metafore predstavljaju unutar teksta te dati njihove primjere. S obzirom na višeznačnu prirodu prijevoda, strategije za prevođenje poredbi i metafora zapanjujuće su dobro razvijene. Strategije za prevođenje poredbi i metafora mogu se pronaći u raznim izvorima posvećenim ovoj temi. Stoga prevoditelji mogu odabrati koju strategiju žele koristiti. Ovaj se rad usredotočuje isključivo na to kako su Pierinijeve i Larsonove strategije korištene u prijevodu poredbi i metafora u romanu Tajna povijest, kako u izvornom romanu tako i u hrvatskom prijevodu. Istraživanje koristi induktivne i deskriptivne metode analize kako bi se što šire opisalo kako su te strategije korištene. Analiza se fokusira na 54 usporedbe i 40 metafora odabranih iz prijevoda djela Tajna povijest na hrvatski jezik. Raspravljalo se o razlozima korištenja različitih strategija i analizirala se uspješnost strategija. Naš je cilj istražiti kako i zašto su određene strategije korištene tijekom procesa prevođenja.
Abstract (english)
The aim of this paper is to explore various strategies employed by translators when confronted with the difficulties that similes and metaphors pose within the text and provide their examples. Given the ambiguous nature of translation, the strategies for translating similes and metaphors are astoundingly well developed. Strategies for translating both similes and metaphors can be found in various sources dedicated to this topic. Therefore, the translators can choose which strategy they would like to use. This paper focuses solely on how Pierini’s and Larson’s strategies in particular were utilized in the translation of similes and metaphors in A Secret History, both in the original novel and the Croatian translation. The research uses inductive and descriptive methods of analysis to describe how these strategies were employed as broadly as possible. In the analysis, we focus on 54 similes and 40 metaphors selected from the translation of A Secret History into Croatian. The rationale behind the adoption of different strategies were discussed and the success of the strategies was analyzed. Our goal is to explore how and why certain strategies were employed during the translation process.
