In translation, there are certain things that have to be aware of, the first is whether the meaning of the translated can be transferred into the target language, second is whether the target reader can understand the meaning, and the last is whether the text is equivalent to the source text. Those three elements that have to be considered in translation will help to create a good a translation text. Nida proposes 3-stage transfer in translation, they are literal, minimal, and literary transfers, to ensure efficient and effective translation. To arrive at such an equivalent translation, literary transfer should be done. However, not all texts must be translated at such stage. If minimal transfer, for instance, has been able to produce an equivalent rendition, no need to go further into the text stage. In case of translating metaphor, it is important to mind the three elements presented above in order to create a good translation of metaphorical expression. Therefore, it has to be kept in mind that there are certain ways that have to be through to find the equivalence of the text. Inferno is a novel written by Dan Brown, and it has many metaphorical expressions contained in the novel. The metaphor in the novel is important to create images and help the readers to feel and imagine about some event in the story. In Inferno, there are metaphorical expressions that are originally made by the author. Some others are the metaphor already commonly used. To find what are the metaphors commonly appear in Inferno, the metaphor classification by Peter Newmark is used. The classification by Newmark separates the metaphor into six types which are called dead metaphor, cliche metaphor, stock or standard metaphor, recent metaphor, original metaphor, and adapted metaphor. This paper tries to apply Nida’s 3-stage transfer and to examine how each stage is able to render the full meaning of the metaphorical expressions in Brown’s Inferno.
