(Frank, 1972 and also Thompson & Martinet, 1986), and Indonesian Noun Clause
(Lapoliwa, 1990 and Muslich, 1990).
The aims of this study are to know the translation principle used in translating
the novel, to describe how the translation result, and to find the deviation meaning in
the translation in the novel. The analysis is based on translation theories, English
Noun Clause theory, and Indonesian Noun Clause theory.
This study uses mixed method, qualitative and quantitative method, to analyze
the data. The data are taken from the novel, in English version and Indonesian
version. They are collected by using stratified sampling method.

translate the English Noun Clauses (NCs) into Indonesian NCs is literal translation.
However, there are some NCs or phrases in an English NCs translated into
Indonesian by free or idiomatic translation. Additionally, there is no deviation
meaning in translating the English NCs into Indonesian when using Literal translation
or Idiomatic translation. In conclusion, both of the translation principles, Literal and
viii
Idiomatic translation, are used to translate the English NCs into Indonesian and there
is no deviation meaning in that translation.
