Abstract

This thesis comprises five translations with commentary. Excerpts from three books were translated from English into Croatian (Kate Fox: Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour, John Urry: Sociologies beyond Societies: Mobilities for the Twenty-First Century and Susan Hockfield: The Age of Living Machines), and two from Croatian into English (Ivana Tomas & Maja Zeman: Spomenici otoka Lopuda od antike do srednjeg vijeka and Olja Savičević Ivančević: Nasmijati psa i sedam novih priča). The commentary is among other things focused on the translation of measurement units. It explores what factors could influence the translator to keep the original measurement unit, translate the measurement unit or do both. It also explores situations where it is not possible to translate certain measurement units.

Abstract (croatian)

Ovaj diplomski rad sastoji se od pet prijevoda s komentarom. Dijelovi triju knjiga bili su prevedeni s engleskog na hrvatski (Kate Fox: Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour, John Urry: Sociologies beyond Societies: Mobilities for the Twenty-First Century i Susan Hockfield: The Age of Living Machines), dok su dijelovi dviju knjiga bili prevedeni s hrvatskog na engleski (Ivana Tomas & Maja Zeman: Spomenici otoka Lopuda od antike do srednjeg vijeka i Olja Savičević Ivančević: Nasmijati psa i sedam novih priča). Komentari se među ostalim fokusiraju na prijevod mjernih jedinica. Istražuje se koji čimbenici bi mogli utjecati na to hoće li prevoditelj zadržati originalnu mjernu jedinicu, prevesti je ili učiniti oboje istovremeno. Također se istražuju situacije gdje nije moguće prevesti određene mjerne jedinice.
