Abstract
This thesis comprises five annotated translations, accompanied by a discussion. Excerpts from three books were translated from English into Croatian; namely, from the areas of popular psychology (The Willpower Instinct) and sociology (Social Class in the 21st Century), as well as a UNHCR Handbook (UNHCR Resettlement Handbook). Texts translated from Croatian into English were literary texts; namely, a contemporary novel (Oči) and an early twentieth-century novel (Ženski udesi). The discussion was focused on the problem of lexical and culture gaps between English and Croatian, with special emphasis on the concept of untranslatability. By providing examples of seemingly untranslatable words and phrases from these texts, I discussed some common translation strategies in dealing with them.
Abstract (croatian)
Diplomski rad objedinjava pet prijevoda s bilješkama prevoditelja te raspravu. Dijelovi tri knjige prevedeni su s engleskog na hrvatski. Spomenute knjige pripadaju područjima popularne psihologije (The Willpower Instinct) i sociologije (Social Class in the 21st Century), a uz to preveden je i priručnik UNHCR-a (UNHCR Resettlement Handbook). Književni tekstovi prevedeni su s hrvatskog na engleski, a radi se o suvremenom romanu (Oči) te romanu s početka dvadesetog stoljeća (Ženski udesi). U raspravi je obrađen problem leksičkih i kulturnih praznina između engleskog i hrvatskog, s posebnim naglaskom na koncept neprevodivosti. U raspravi također predlažem strategije pri prevođenju leksičkih i kulturnih praznina na primjerima naizgled neprevodivih riječi i sintagmi iz navedenih tekstova.
