Abstract
This thesis comprises five translations with commentary. Excerpts from three books were translated from English into Croatian (Atomic Habits by James Clear, You Are What You Read by Jodie Jackson, and Spitfire by John Nichol), and two from Croatian into English (Znanstvena istraživanja jezika i prevođenja by Nataša Pavlović and Mateuzs-Milan Stanojević and Fiumanski, opet lažeš by Vid Barić). The commentary focused on culture-specific items. Since translation always involves two languages as well as two cultures, it is important to use the most appropriate strategies to translate various aspects of culture adequately. The choice of the strategy depends on the type of text, function of the reference and whether the reference is in the background or foreground of the text. The most common procedures used to translate culture-specific items are borrowing, substitution, addition, explanation, and literal translation.
Abstract (croatian)
Diplomski rad sadrži pet prijevoda s popratnim komentarima. S engleskog na hrvatski prevedeni su ulomci iz triju knjiga (Atomic Habits, You Are What You Read i Spitfire), a s hrvatskog na engleski prevedeni su ulomci iz dviju knjiga (Znanstvena istraživanja jezika i prevođenja i Fiumanski, opet lažeš). Komentari su usmjereni na prijevod kulturno-specifičnih elemenata. Budući da prijevod uvijek uključuje dva jezika kao i dvije kulture, važno je koristiti prikladne strategije za prijevod različitih kulturno-specifičnih elemenata. Izbor strategija ovisi o vrsti teksta, funkciji kulturno-specifičnog elementa i o tome nalazi li se element u fokusu ili u pozadini teksta. Najčešće korištene strategije za prijevod kulturno-specifičnih elemenata su posuđivanje, zamjena, dodavanje, objašnjenje i doslovan prijevod.
