I missed Doreen. She would have murmured some fine, scalding remark about Hilda's miraculous furpiece to cheer me up. Мені бракувало Дорін. Вона прошепотіла б мені на вухо якийсь жовчний дотеп про Гільдину розчудесну горжетку, щоб якось розрадити.
The original text says that the heroine missed her friend, though the translation suggests that she lacked Doreen. If missed could be explained as “notice or feel the loss or absence of”, whereas to lack means “to have an absence of something that should be there”, if Esther says she misses Doreen, this might mean she feels Doreen is not here. Still, if she lacks Doreen, Esther feels insufficient, not herself without her friend, showing a dependence on her, uneasiness, and tension. Most of the transformations here concern lexis rather than grammar. For instance, the author uses the word murmured to picture the way Doreen would tell a joke to Esther. Simultaneously, translation explicates this by translating the verb and explaining that Doreen would tell this into Esther's ear - which is fixed in the word murmured. Or, in the collocation miraculous furpiece, the adjective is rendered through the Ukrainian розчудесна, which is a rare synonym for пречудовий, a more common word. In combination with the word горжетка, an item of clothing popular in the 20th century, but no longer in style these days, this collocation takes us into the atmosphere of the days in which the events take place.
Conclusions. After analyzing the respective excerpts from the novel and the investigation of the notion of alienation employing the juxtaposition of its definitions from different fields of study, the results are obtained, showing how the disorder is expressed in the respective texts. The results also demonstrate that the target text delivers the main issues of the novel, its characters' individuality, and the issues of self-estrangement, alienation, and separation from the world as a common problem the people were not only facing in the post-War period but are also facing nowadays.
