以及翻譯中所存在的問題.運用多種翻譯技巧分析電影片名翻譯,從而找到比較適合的翻譯方法,能夠更加準確,貼切的對電影片名進行翻譯研究意義:在中外文化交流日趨頻繁的今天,電影作為文化交流的一種重要形式,在傳播文化上有重要的作用.而電影片名更可以說是一部電影的門楣,其翻譯的好壞,直接影響到電影的受關注程度,影所要表達的意義是否能夠更好的傳達出去.英語電影的譯制工作對中西影視文化的交流起著至關重要的橋梁作用，而首當其沖的則是片名的翻譯。它既要反映影片的中心內(nèi)容，還要簡短、新奇，將觀眾引入門內(nèi),影片名又像商品的商標，承擔著宣傳、推銷商片的責任。對于電影片名的研究,可以更好的促進中外文化交流,更好的讓外國了解中國的文化研究現(xiàn)狀：當前對于電影片名的翻譯還未形成完整的體系，對于同一電影片名的翻譯，往往有多種版本?，F(xiàn)在翻譯界逐漸接受了這樣一種理論：電影片名不同于一般的書名翻譯，它是一種因實際需要而故意加進原本沒有意義的一種傳達方法, 有別于文學翻譯那種嚴格依照作者本意, 力求神似的方法。因此, 作為廣告翻譯的電影片名翻譯就可以改動得與原先完全不一樣，以適應本土市場。但是即使是這樣，英語電影片名也應該有章可循，力求達到“信”、“達”、“雅”的統(tǒng)一，而不應該為了追求單純的經(jīng)濟利益而放棄一切原則去迎合觀眾。研究內(nèi)容:

結論總之,在電影片名翻譯方面,還有很大的研究空間，也有很多的問題亟待解決。對于一部電影具體采取什么樣的方式來翻譯，方法并不是固定的，而是要用最合適的方法，以求達到最好的效果。研究方案：1搜集大量的電影片名,在對影片內(nèi)容進行了解的基礎上,對其進行分類。 2對搜集來的電影片名進行分析，發(fā)現(xiàn)其翻譯技巧上的特點。 3

電影作為一種雅俗共賞的藝術形式，既具藝術性，又具商業(yè)性。隨著國際交流的日益頻繁，越來越多的外國電影涌入我國的電影市場，同樣中國的電影也越來越頻繁的出現(xiàn)在海外的市場。電影的翻譯不僅是商業(yè)的需要，也是文化交流的一種重要形式。電影片名是一部電影的重要組成部分，它承擔著傳達電影的信息，吸引觀眾等功能。一個好的電影片名，除了能夠吸引觀眾之外，還能為電影帶來巨大的商業(yè)利益。本文從電影片名的特點入手，分析了英語電影漢譯與中文電影英譯的主要技巧，并對每一技巧進行分析，說明當前的電影片名翻譯，還是在功能對等的理論指導下進行的，并未形成一套完整的理論。 本文從直譯和意譯的角度探討了中英文電影片名翻譯的問題，指出直譯和意譯在電影片名翻譯方面各自起到的作用，并通過具體例子來說明這兩種翻譯策略的應用。最后指出，在當前電影片名翻譯中，直譯和意譯在一定時間內(nèi)是要并存的?！娟P鍵詞】 電影片名翻譯；功能對等；直譯；意譯；音譯【abstract】 movie as a type of art caters to both refined and

is playing a more and more important role in our daily life. movie title translation is undoubtedly one of the commonest forms of translation encountered in everyday life in our contemporary society. therefore, movie title translation research as an important branch of practical translation studies came into being. the film title could deliver important information about the film to the audience and it can grip the attention of the audience at first sight. a good translation of movie titles will undoubtedly contribute a lot to the charm of the film. it should not only reveal the theme of the movie concisely and comprehensively, but also should generalize the content of the film tersely and succinctly. currently the film title translation has not formed a complete system and there is no unification standard. for the same film titles translation often has a lot of translation editions. one film was translated in very different ways. the translation of one film even has mainland china, hong kong, taiwan, the internet, the publication magazine and many kinds of translation editions. but each kind of translation transmits different information so the effects they got are unlike. this article plans from the film title characteristic and the film title translation function to carry on the discussion.chapter two the features and functions of titles of films2.1 features of movie titlesalthough film is a kind of literary form it possesses some unique features which make it different from other literary forms. audiences are usually read the film titles firstly. good film titles will impress the audience deeply. let people feel desire to watch the movie. undoubtedly film titles play the role in advertising for the film. features of movie title include the concision, the earthliness and the attraction.2.1.1 concisionbecause the title of film featured with high generality, we can say that concision is the major and distinctive characteristic. the title usually shows the main role or story of the movie with very few words. the majority english titles often with three to five words, they are simple and brief. and chinese titles usually use idioms or four character words as the title. for instance, the title of titanic is very succinct, it tells audiences the place where story take place with one word, at the same time summarize the movie content highly.2.1.2 earthlinessfilm title besides the function of generality, it also considers whether the audience can accept or not. so titles wont use the glossary which too difficult to understand, the ordinary audience could accept and understand. and it also conforms to the films characteristic of suiting both refined and popular tastes.2.1.3 attractionin the movie market a film whether success is judged by box office. it is the movies biggest duty to attract the audience to watch, at the same time its also the titles biggest duty. guarantee that the audience can understand and accept titles, movies regularly use some new words in titles to attract the audience.2.2 functions of movie titlesmovie titles condense the main theme of the film. film titles main function is to help the audience to understand the film and give them some information about the movie. movie is a kind of spiritual product with art attributes. at the same it is also a kind of material product with merchandise attributes. movie title is not only a symbol of film and it is an important component of the movie too. in order to attract the audience and increase the box office receipts. so the film titles also have commercial factors. hence the functions of film title include informative function, commercial function.2.2.1 information functionthe informative function of movie title is reflected by helping the audience to know about some facts and relevant information about the movie. film titles contain a large number of content, titles should accurately express the information which movie contains. audiences can get a lot of information through movie title then they could choose which one to watch. translated titles also need to express the information which original titles contain precisely. for example, original sin, the title was translated into 枕邊陷阱 in taiwan, people may think it is a thriller at first sight. it completely didnt express the meaning that the movie wanted to convey. and this work was translated into 原罪 in mainland china. just use the literal meaning of the original english name but the translation is very appropriate. even without knowing the content of the movie, people can easily get some information that the movie wants to express from the title. while “original sin” is also the problems westerners prefer to discuss. so this title is not only conveying the information and content the movie contains, to a certain extent, it reflects the cultural level.2.2.2 commercial functionin the modern society the box office is a key factor to judge whether a movie is successful or not. the movie besides as one kind of artistic form, but also has the commercial value. translators usually tend to make titles attractive, avoid using plain words and make movie box office power loss. shooter was translated into 辣手槍. watching the film title, we dont know what the movie wants to express. the title gives audiences a kind of befuddled feeling. but the mainland translated it into 生死狙擊, we have already felt tense rhythm of the movie just solely from the title translation. and it also attracts the audience to want to watch this movie.2.3 summarythe three features of film titles, the concision, the earthliness, the attraction make the film titles translation different from other translation. the above two functions of film titles, the informative, the commercial functions are closely interrelated with each other. most film titles include all the three features and the two functions, maybe with an emphasis on one of them. the concision and the earthliness of the film title make the film title more attractive. so these features have very close relationship. generally speaking, these two functions operate throughout a film title and the second commercial function in that the ultimate goal of filmmaking is to entrain the audience and to become a great box-office hit. from the above analysis we can see that in the process of film title translation, the translator should take these factors into consideration and they may adopt flexible translation methods so long as they can fulfill the listed functions and features.chapter three film title translation principle and skills3.1 principlemovie title translation is a cross-cultural communication process. in order to achieve the expected effect in the movie title translation, the translators need to pay attention to the principle. i think the principle that translators should follow is the functional equivalence.eugene a.nida firmly believes “anything can be expressed by one language; it is able to be expressed by other language. between language and culture we can communicate through searching translation equivalence or reorganizing original form and semantic structure.” “in the progress of translation, the translator must respect the characteristic of target language, do not create new language in your own words as soon as encounter difficulty.(jiang shan,2007) and we should try our best to dig the express potential of target language, because each language, including the so-called original language, has abundant means to express ideas, therefore the rendering should be translated in a way that the translation receivers love to see and hear and conform to the standard of target language expression form.” this viewpoint led to his later “functional equivalence”.nidas “dynamic equivalence translation” or “functional equivalence translation” refers to from the semantic to style of language, in the target language using the coordinated language that the most close to nature to reappear the information of source language. he believes that “the relationship between translation receivers and translation information should keep the same with the relationship between original text receivers and source information.” in other words, the information receiver of target language ought to produce the basic same reaction as the receiver of source langua
