In addition, the writer also analyzed the methods that were used by the translator in translating the figurative language. Those methods are: Communicative translation method (114 items or 46.53%), Literal(54 items or 22.04%), Free(41 items or 16.73%), Word-for-word (23 items or 9.40%), Idiomatic(10 items or 3.97%), Faithful(3 items or 1.22%), Semantic(0 item or 0%), and Adaptation(0 item or 0%).
