Contoh 11:

Daisy took her face in her hands as if feeling its lovely shape, and her eyes moved

gradually out into the velvet dusk. (bahasa sumber)

Daisy menangkup mukanya denga jari-jarinya seolah-olah hendak merasakan

bentuknya yang lawa manakala pandangannya beransur-ansur menyoroti kegelapan

senja. (bahasa sasaran)

While idioms are more common in spoken language, they frequently show up in books and

writing. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby, Gatsby says that Daisy’s “voice is

full of money.” He doesn’t mean that she has money inside her mouth. Instead, he means it’s

obvious to anyone who hears her speak that she’s rich. The use of this idiom adds a playful

element to the conversation. It’s much more interesting and uncommon to hear that someone’s

voice is made of money than to hear that someone is wealthy. By using a figure of speech, the

dialogue in the book can also sound more like everyday conversation.

Nick Carraway uses the common idiom “I’ve got my hands full” in this excerpt from F. Scott

Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. This is a simple way of saying that he’s too busy. He’s trying

to cut Gatsby off, who is offering him a shady business deal. Though Carraway needs the extra

money, he bluffs by saying he has no time so that he doesn’t get mixed up in a bad business

deal.

In the book The great Gatsby Fitzgerald uses idioms to display an idea or reasoning in a

different way. Nick says to Gatsby "I've got my hands full" (Fitzgerald, 83). Nick had nothing

actually in his hands when he said this, he was just explaining to Gatsby that he was unable to

take on anymore work. Instead of just saying that he was unable to do what Gatsby offered,

which was work, he used an idiom to display his situation. Another idiom used in The great

Gatsby is "You can hold your tongue..." (Fitzgerald, 77). This is speaking about Daisy and

how she does not drink so she is more capable of not talking out of context or saying something

wrong. Also, using this shows that she would be more sensible during the events. The use of

idioms throughout The great Gatsby improve the story by putting more more descriptions and

quality into the story.

1. Fill a gas tank with fuel, as in As soon as we tank up the car we can leave. [First half of

1900s]

2. Drink to the point of intoxication. F. Scott Fitzgerald used this expression in The Great

Gatsby (1926): "I think he'd tanked up a good deal at luncheon." This expression often is put

in the passive, meaning "be or become intoxicated," as in My roommate really got tanked up

last night. [Slang; c. 1900]
