doomsday Explanation: - -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2009-04-21 23:35:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Menurut pemahaman saya, 'hari keramat' yg dimaksud dalam konteks ini adalah 'hari kiamat' (doomsday). Kelihatannya, penulis menggunakan gaya bahasa ironi - makna yg dimaksud adalah kebalikan dari kata yg digunakan. Selanjutnya, dalam dunia ekonomi kapitalis, regulasi adalah penghambat. Pandangan ideal kapitalis mengharapkan adanya pasar bebas, tanpa regulasi. Karena itu, bagi para kapitalis regulasi yg ketat adalah hari kiamat. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2009-04-21 23:39:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Tentu saja, 'doomsday' yg saya usulkan ini sebagai jawaban atas pertanyaan mengenai makna yg dimaksud dari 'hari keramat' dalam konteks ini. Namun demikian, dalam terjemahan yg dibuat nanti saya menganjurkan untuk menggunakan 'sacred/holy day' seperti yg diusulkan Archi sendiri dan kemudian diberi tanda kutip untuk menunjukkan bahwa yg dimaksud sebenarnya bukan benar2 'hari keramat' tapi 'hari kiamat'. |

critical day Explanation: That day must be critical because tight regulations will give important impacts. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-04-22 02:15:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Every one of us who have been involved in a small to medium size manufacturing business has faced “that critical day.” It’s the day it becomes obvious that we have challenges requiring the assistance of an outside partner. http://leadershipr.com/leadershipr.aspx Today, Turkey is going to experience one of the most critical days in its republican history. The indictment, completed with information gathered during a 13-month investigation into the Ergenekon terrorist organization, which targeted ousting the government by destabilizing the country, will be partly revealed to the public. http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/yazarDetay.do?haberno=1474... |
