Abstract
This thesis comprises five translations with commentary. Excerpts from three books were translated from English into Croatian (Caroline Eden’s Red Sands: Reportage and Recipes through Central Asia, from Hinterland to Heartland, Perry Nodelman’s The Hidden Adult: Defining Children’s Literature, and Jeanette Winterson’s 12 Bytes: How We Got Here. Where We Might Go Next), and two from Croatian into English (Nikolina Topić’s Staklo u Dubrovačkoj republici u svjetlu arheoloških nalaza and Roman Simić’s Iva do mjeseca i natrag). The commentary primarily focused on issues regarding two aspects of translation: terminology and clarity. In the comments regarding terminology, I discussed the various decisions I had to make when selecting an appropriate translation for certain problematic terms, such as culture-specific terms that do not have direct equivalents in the target culture, specialist terms, and so on. In the comments that focused on clarity, I discussed which elements of the original text I omitted or modified, as well as which new elements I added in order to produce a clear and unambiguous translation that would be easy for readers to understand.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj se diplomski rad sastoji od pet prijevoda s komentarima. Ulomci iz triju djela prevedeni su s engleskog jezika na hrvatski (Caroline Eden, Red Sands: Reportage and Recipes through Central Asia, from Hinterland to Heartland, Perry Nodelman, The Hidden Adult: Defining Children’s Literature i Jeanette Winterson, 12 Bytes: How We Got Here. Where We Might Go Next), a s hrvatskog jezika na engleski prevedeni su ulomci iz dviju djela (Nikolina Topić, Staklo u Dubrovačkoj republici u svjetlu arheoloških nalaza i Roman Simić, Iva do mjeseca i natrag). U komentarima sam se ponajviše usredotočio na pitanja vezana uz dva aspekta prevođenja: terminologiju i jasnoću. U komentarima vezanim uz terminologiju raspravljao sam o raznim odlukama koje sam morao donijeti pri biranju primjerenih prijevoda za određene problematične pojmove, npr. kulturološki specifične pojmove koji nemaju izravne ekvivalente u ciljnoj kulturi, stručne pojmove, i sl. U komentarima vezanim uz jasnoću raspravljao sam o tome koje sam elemente izvornog teksta izostavio ili modificirao, kao i o tome koje sam nove elemente dodao kako bih proizveo jasan i nedvosmislen prijevod koji bi čitateljima bio jednostavan za razumjeti.
