So for all of you, young people who will dedicate his/her life to, so called, engineering, let’s have a faith and keep our spirit together. There is a sacred goal in the end…

Kelistrikan Nasional: Masalah dan Solusinya

Re-post of my article published in konversi itb blog. Here.

Kemarin saya baca di milis angkatan tentang artikel tentang energi dan listrik yang memang agak “kontroversial” kalau saya boleh sebut seperti itu. Di milis juga diinformasikan juga kalau artikel tersebut disalin di salah satu forum net besar di Indonesia. Karena saya memang suka dengan hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan listrik dan energi ditambah kata-kata teman saya di milis kalau artikelnya agak membingungkan maka saya “kunjungi” keduanya.

Dan memang benar, artikelnya berusaha memprovokasi orang-orang untuk mengikuti apa yang penulis pikirkan, tentu saja dengan argumentasi yang ngawur, kalau saya boleh bilang. Mengingat

not so late yet but my brain start to enter unwilling-to-catch mode,  though something still had to think by him. just a time for a little escape. as the la’s, also six pence none the richer, said..

Baru saja saya membaca artikel di salah satu portal berita tentang film dokumenter tentang pangan dari Indonesia yang akan ditampilkan di salah satu festival film. Ada hal yang cukup buat saya bertanya-tanya, saya coba cari di mesin pencari ternyata hasilnya sama saja, menurut situs resminya juga seperti ini

Hungry is The Tiger <-> Harimau yang Lapar

Dengan bekal english saya, kalau saya disuruh menerjemahkan judul dalam english ke bahasa, saya serta merta akan menjawab

Hungry is The Tiger <-> Lapar adalah sang Harimau

Tanpa ada tendensi apapun tentang isi film dan tujuan film itu, toh belum ditayangkan di Indonesia, apakah ada yang bisa menjelaskan alasan mengapa penerjemahan judul english ke bahasa seperti itu? (atau sebaliknya, jika judul awalnya dalam bahasa, mengapa diterjemahkan ke english seperti itu?). Saya merasa hal ini sangat penting walaupun tampak sepele.

-berusaha untuk menulis artikel ini dalam bahasa indonesia yang baik dan benar untuk memperingati hari sumpah pemuda-
