Translating metaphors from Croatian into English

This thesis comprises five annotated translations, accompanied by a discussion. Excerpts from two books were translated from Croatian into English (Bertić, Živko. 1902. Ženski udesi: Tri pripovijesti (Parskina sreća - Sirota - Udala se). Zagreb: Naklada "Matice hrvatske" and Popović, Edo. 2007. Oči. Zagreb: Naklada OceanMore), and three from English into Croatian (UNHCR Resettlement Handbook. 2011., Savage, Mike. 2015. Social Class in the 21st Century. Penguin Random House UK. and McGonigal, Kelly. 2012. The Willpower Instinct. How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It. London: Pearson.) The discussion focused on the translation of metaphors from Croatian into English on the basis of metaphors encountered during the process of translating the excerpts of novels Oči by Edo Popović and Ženski udesi by Živko Bertić. The emphasis was put on the definition of metaphors, the most important approaches and strategies for translating metaphors, a detailed analysis of particular examples of metaphors and the most important issues considering their translation.Ovaj je diplomski rad podijeljen na dva dijela. Prvi uključuje raspravu, a drugi pet prijevoda popraćenih bilješkama. Odlomci dviju knjiga prevedeni su s hrvatskog na engleski jezik (Bertić, Živko. 1902. Ženski udesi: Tri pripovijesti (Parskina sreća - Sirota - Udala se). Zagreb: Naklada "Matice hrvatske" and Popović, Edo. 2007. Oči. Zagreb: Naklada OceanMore) te su odlomci triju knjiga prevedeni s engleskog na hrvatski jezik (UNHCR Resettlement Handbook. 2011., Savage, Mike. 2015. Social Class in the 21st Century. Penguin Random House UK. and McGonigal, Kelly. 2012. The Willpower Instinct. How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It. London: Pearson.) Rasprava obrađuje proces prevođenja metafora s hrvatskog na engleski jezik na temelju prevedenih metafora iz odlomaka dvaju hrvatskih romana: Oči (Edo Popović) i Ženski udesi (Živko Bertić). Također, rasprava uključuje najvažnije pristupe i strategije koji se koriste pri prevođenju metafora te detaljnu analizu pojedinih prijevoda metafora i najvažnijih problema s kojima se susrećemo tijekom procesa njihova prevođenja na engleski jezik
