In this paper, I argue how the Japanese translation with a subsidiary verb TEKURERU can beguided from the original English texts. According to Masuoka (2001), Japanese tends to expressspeaker's attitude of benefactive more explicitly than other languages. Actually, we can verify manyexamples of Japanese translation with TEKURERU from English texts that have no linguisticmarkers to show explicitly the speaker's attitude of benefactive. Gutt (2000) asserts thattranslation can be analyzed as varieties of "interpretative use" referred in the Relevance Theory bySperber & Wilson (1995). Relevance theory says that every utterance can be used interpretativelyfrom the original source. This ability is called "metarepresentational ability", which enables us tounderstand other's belief or thought. In other words, in the case of the translation from "sourcelanguage" to "target language", the translator infers the author's intention or belief and makes anadequate interpretation. As a result, I propose that translators "read" the author's belief ofbenefactive interpretatively from the original text, and as a result, they describe TEKURERU as aJapanese translation.
