Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the translation of euphemism and dysphemism found
on BBC online. Moreover, the translation technique and translation quality in Indonesian are
also assessed. The writer uses a qualitative descriptive method to aim the objectives of the
research. The source data of this study is BBC online news, particularly regarding the war in
war in Palestine from 7 October to 29 December 2023. Data processing results show that BBC
news writers prefer to utilize dysphemism over euphemism. This is demonstrated by the
number of dysphemism phrases, which reached 47 out of 65 data or 72% in 10 news pieces.
Meanwhile, the euphemisms discovered by the writer amounted to only 13 terms. Based on
these preliminary findings, the author concludes that dysphemism is a style of language
commonly utilized by news writers to expose information in the news. This suggests that the
writer is well aware that the reader will be more interested in something severe, harsh, and
negative. Furthermore, the news contradicts the readers' worldview. In this study, four three
techniques were discovered in the translation of 65 sentences comprising euphemism and
dysphemism expressions, which are established equivalent, particularization and linguistic
amplification. The established equivalent technique is used the most in translating the sentences
containing euphemism and dysphemism expressions with the total as much as 56. From the
data found, based on the three raters' assessments of translation quality on accuracy revealed
that the majority of euphemism and dysphemism expressions were translated correctly.
