Introduction

―Movie is so important that it has become the first arts of the human world,‖ pointed out by French artist and novelist Mona(Baker, 2004, p.40).Movies are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them.With the lapse of time, the process of filmmaking has developed into an art form and industry.Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue into the language of the viewer.What is more, movie titles which contain profound moral play a very important role.The title is the brand trademark of the movie and condenses the pith of the story.The titles are always in the eye-catching position of the playbill.In recent years, our cultural exchanges with the outside world have never been livelier, more and more western movies have come into Chinese market.The translation of English movie titles plays an important role in promoting cultural exchanges, and enriching people’s leisure time.But currently, the film title translation remains a problematic issue.As to the same title, it often has several different translations for one English film title.The Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan versions can hardly achieve unity in most cases, which makes confusion and inconvenience for the audience.Like many other forms of non-literary translation, the translation of English movie titles has not yet received due attention despite their importance.Peter Newmark has called on the translators to bring their attention to ―two underplayed aspects of translation‖, one of which is ―the approach to non-literary translation.‖ Nida also called for ―more attention to exploring new fields in translation‖.As a branch of non-literary translation, the translation of English movie titles, like many other forms of non-literary translation, has not yet received due attention despite their importance.The translation of English movie titles is the important part in the translation of English movie.This paper is based on the analysis of the characteristics and functions, proposes four principles and summarizes five translation methods in the translation of English movie titles.6

Chapter 1 Characteristics and Functions of English Movie Titles

1.1The Movies Titles’ Classification

The first step of translating movie titles is in depth knows the source of titles and the characteristic.The titles mostly come from the clue of story line, background, theme and characters.The movies can be divided into the following: action films;romance films;horror films;disaster films;cartoon films;comedy;adventure films.Actually, most of movies belong to comprehensive kind;such as the Titanic belongs not only to romance films but also to films disaster.1.2 Characteristics of English Movie Titles

1.2.1 Concise and Memorize Movie titles generally highly epitomize movie content, which requires succinct and conciseness, meanwhile contains a wealth of the information of content itself.Generally speaking, the titles are made up of nouns and noun phrases, such as Titanic, Speed, Gladiator and Tarzan.This movie titles obvious to everybody it belongs to what kind of movie.1.2.2 Straightaway languages The film is the art of the common people.The movie titles should suit the original content of the film and reflect the theme of the film, and we straightaway languages, which is convenient for people to know the movie.Such as Pearl Harbor, the Princess Diaries, Twin Sisters, Beauty and the Beast and Kindergarten Cop.Through the titles, you can easily distend what is probably spoken of the story.The straightaway languages make audience readily receptive.7

1.2.3 Attractive Box Office

Movie is a commodity.The investors must pay attention to the box office, or the film industry cannot survive, develop and grow sturdily.Successful box office often depends on an attractive title.So the titles should give the audience suspension, reverie and aesthetic feeling in order to arouse the audience desire of going to movies.When the audience see the title The Silence of the Lamb, they are curious to know why they use lamb or are it a silent lamb.Thus movie got overwhelming success and the title made great contribution.Some movie titles pay attention to the spelling in order to be special and attractive, to some extent, they’re queer.Lost in Translation, Cast Away and It Happened One Night impress the audiences deeply.1.3 Functions of English Movie Titles

Forrest Gump said ―Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get‖.So does a movie, you will never know whether a movie attracts you until you watch it.When watching a movie, what attracts you first is the title of the movie.The movie titles need to attract people to have a desire for rushes to the film and feel good after seeing it, so as to reach the purpose of improving box office.Chen hongwei divided the functions of movie titles into three categories: information function, aesthetic function and vocative function.1.3.1 Information Function

The titles give a neat summary of the movie in Straightaway languages.It conveys the information about the idea of the movie to the audience and makes them understand the idea and the story better.This is the titles’ the title The Shawshank Redemption will tell the audience that the story is about a person named Shawshank on the path to redemption.Pearl Harbor will remind the people of the history and the audience will know the story takes place in Pearl Harbor and has connection with World WarⅡ.The informative function is the basic function of movie titles and the most important function.8

1.3.2 Aesthetic Function The translation of movie titles which always apply many rhetoric techniques in Chinese structure is flexible, in order to create a catchy name and to give people a good sense of rhythm.That is the aesthetic function.The aesthetic feeling is a main factor that causes audience to make the decision whether they will go to a movie or not.The aesthetic function is most obviously felt on the romantic movies.Some titles of the classical movies have become the synonym of romance, such as Casablanca, Sleepless in Seattle and the Great Waltz.As W.Somerset Mangham says, words have their weight, sound and appearance.The translators try to select the words that have beauty in sound, form and meaning.These movie titles attract and touch the heart of the audience with nice language and satisfy the audience by the conciseness and vividness.1.3.3 Vocative Function

The movie titles’ vocative function is to impress thousands upon thousands of audiences and evoke their curiosity, attracting the audiences into the cinema.Everyone has curiosity;we will feel curious when we see something fresh and strange and we take delight in learning and are easily influenced.The vocative function is just to influence the audience’s sentiments and arouse their interests.Such as Jumanji left us with one of the biggest cliffhangers, thus arouse our interest in the movie.Another example, Blood Diamond strongly criticized the dirty trade of diamond and described sufferings of the people who during the Sierra Leone Civil War.The director chose blood diamond as the title in his movie to attract audience and also convey the main idea of the movie.Chapter 2 Principle and Methods of English Movie Titles’

Translation

2.1 Principle of English Movie Titles’ Translation

2.1.1 Information Value Principle The information value principle is the most basic principle in English movie titles’ translation.Title translation should convey true information, relate to the movie, and achieve the unity of title and plot, which is the so-called achieving equivalence in information value.Catch at shadows, as wide as poles apart and departure from the information value are the most taboo in titles translation.As the title, it should keep concise, but it should also contain rich information which makes audience guess what the movie is about at a glance.Such as PulpFiction;Meet the Parents;A Rather English Marriage.Another example,，the Third Man once translated into ―第三者‖，may at first seem a story about love triangles ,but in the movie, the third man actually is a person who is the witness of the horrible murder.Primary translation has a long way from the actual content.2.1.2 Aesthetic Principle Since movies possess both the commercial and artistic qualities, an excellent movie should develop its commercial value and have its artistic value as well.Translation is a kind of art.When we translate the movie titles, we should take into account the artistic quality.At the same time, the request to this profession has been becoming more and more strict along with unceasing enhancement of our living standard and the esthetic appreciation.The translation of movie titles demands for escaping away from the strains of original words and penetratingly grasping the artistic quality, thus make an activity of artistic creation.The Bridge of Madison County 廊橋遺夢is believed to be one of the best translated titles.Firstly, it is a four-character expression which appeals to Chinese audience.Secondly, the characters in the title contain great meanings.―廊‖embodies the art of landscaping and aesthetics of structure.― 遺 ‖infers time and space, yearning between lovers and introspection.―夢‖indicates the sincerely desire of the love and the romantic emotional appeal which is imbued with Platonic intention and affords for thought.There are some other good versions with high artistic quality: Ghost人鬼情未了, Sleepless in Seattle 西雅圖夜未眠, Gone With the Wind 亂世佳人.10

2.1.3 Target-oriented Principle Movie is a specific form of literature, so it should create value and be accepted by the audiences.The specificity of movie determines that translation should keep the target-oriented principle.That is to say, translators should be on this foundation of faithful to the original, meanwhile, stressed the effect of audience.The translation of titles should be more carefully considered.The translation’ aim is not only to faithfully transmit original words and cultural value, but also attract and be accepted by the audience.2.1.4 Economic Benefit principle The first two installments of the Godfather movie series alone earned more than $800 million at the international box-office, which allows us to realize that movies are big factories.The development of films depends on economic benefit, thus the titles’ translation should stick to the principle.We also understand that the movie’ economic benefit depends on the level of attracting audience.Whether titles are good or bad immediate impact the box office level.For example, Sound of Music was once translated into ―仙樂飄飄何處聞‖, which make the audience feel confused;Later, ―音樂之聲‖was widely accepted.Ghost was translated into ―人鬼情未了‖，which become a classic.2.2 Methods of Movie Titles’ Translation Film translation is an important and simple way to introduce foreign culture to audiences.Seemingly short though, the title translation is rather difficult and requires much translation knowledge.Excellent English film translation can bring to the audience great satisfaction both in eyes and ears.There are many techniques of translating the title of a movie and there are also many factors which affect its translation.But, I will introduce the techniques of movie titles’ translation mainly from five categories: literal translation, complementary translation, transliteration, free translation, the combination of literal and free translation.No matter what technique is employed, one fundamental and vital principle that should never be forgotten is that the translation must be related to the story in one way or another.11

2.2.1Literal Translation

Literal translation is the most common method used in film title translation.By converting the source language’s grammatical constructions to their nearest target language equivalents, literal translation can preserve both the content and originality in most cases.In occasions when a title matches the story of a movie perfectly, such as Beauty and the Beast(美女與野獸), Saving Private Ryan（拯救大兵瑞恩），only if the target language sounds not too awkward or unnatural and is capable of describing the story, literal translation can be adopted.Generally speaking, the translated Chinese titles should be capable of describing the story as well as the original English titles do.These titles are easily accepted and memorized by Chinese audience.For example, True Lies(真實的謊言)，Rain Man（雨人），Brave Heart(勇敢的心)，The Shawshank Redemption（肖申克的救贖），and so on.2.2.2 Liberal Translation

Besides literal translation, liberal translation is also commonly adopted by us.Liberal translation is also called free translation, which does not adhere strictly to the form or word order of the original.As English movie titles are mostly made up of one or two key words and highly concentrated, literally translated titles sometimes cannot make the Chinese audience understood.And there are some titles that contain lots of culture which is only well-known by westerners;Chinese audience will be confused if we translate these titles through literal translation.However, when we use free translation, the version won’t totally conform to the original titles.Though most translators treat literal translation as their first choice, in the field of English movie title translation, liberal translation is used more.Liberal translation can bring the connotation into play and elaborate the pith of the title.Gone with the Wind was translated into亂世佳人, is a good example.2.2.3 Transliteration Transliteration is a subset of the science of hermeneutics.It is a form of translation, and is the practice of converting a text from one script into another.Some foreign movies generally take the name of the heroine or where and when a story takes place as the title.For

instance, Harry Porter(哈利波特)，Tarzan(泰山)，Aladdin(阿拉丁)，Casablanca(卡薩布蘭卡), Notting Hill(諾丁山).But only use transliteration is probably fairly rare, because the domestic audience generally do not know the titles which take the name of the heroine or geographic name as titles.So we should take into account combining the transliteration with liberal translation.For instance, Patton(巴頓將軍), Forrest Gump(阿甘正傳)and All Quiet on the Western Front(西線無戰事).2.2.4 Complementary Translation

The translation of the English movies have to take into account the inner foreign culture of the movie itself;需要考慮電影自身所包含的外國文化

in such circumstances, the complementary translation is necessary.The complementary translation is on the basic of literal translation and liberal translation, thus making the translation adapts to the audiences’ psychological reception and cultural expectation.For example: Philadelphia(費城故事)，Seven(七宗罪)，Shrek(怪物史萊克)，Titanic(泰坦尼克號).2.2.5 Creative Interpretation Language in English movie titles is creatively used and there are some titles that are not suitable to be translated with the skills mentioned above.As a result, with the purpose of strengthen artistic quality and influence, the translator sometimes has to create a new title or choose a best title which can describe the story and convey the most information to the audience.Cross-cultural factors have semantic and pragmatic impacts on translation, which requires translators to adopt flexible translating tactics, this is the create interpretation.The translator should be aware of these differences and try to creative a new title according to the story and his or her understanding of the western culture and history.In some English titles, the heroes’ or the heroines’ names are very unfamiliar to Chinese audience because sometimes the heroes or the heroines are ordinary people.Transliteration cannot tell the audience more than a name.However, if we create a new title mainly connected with the story, the audience will get it through.For example Dorothy Dandridge(紅顏血淚), transliteration gives audience the version多蘿西?丹德里奇, but who is多蘿西?丹德里奇? How old is she? What does she do? The audience gets nothing from this kind of translation.As a matter of fact, Dorothy Jean Dandridge(November 9, 1922 – September 8, 1965)was an American actress and popular singer, and was the first African-American to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.She performed as a vocalist in venues such as the Cotton Club and the Apollo Theater.On her way to her success, she made so much effort and endured all the unequal treatment.紅顏血淚 exactly described her lifetime—A black beauty who fought against the discrimination and paid her tears and even blood to get her success and gained people’s recognition.Another simple, The Professional(這個殺手不太冷).The title refers to the hero of the movie, Leon, a killer, very skillful and cool.One of its versions is 殺手萊昂.Appropriate to the identity of our hero as it is, it does not reveal another important side of Leon, which the version 這個殺手不太冷 vividly carries.Chapter 3 Influence Factors of Translation

This section attempts to make a deep study from the perspectives of cultural differences, comprehensive understanding towards to story and Influence of commercial profits, which affect the English movie titles’ translation.4.1 The Factor of Cultural Difference The different historical, cultural and religious factors build up different customs and courtesy.Therefore, culture is assignable factor in translation.During the course of translating, incorrect translation may result from such factors as grammar, structure, inter-cultural differences, and so on.Some translations of titles are totally unrelated to the film.The main cause lies in the lack of consideration of different characteristics of the original language and the cultural elements in those different types.For example American Beauty(美國麗人),The mainland and the HK versions both have made a mistake in taking the literal meaning of Beauty.According to the American Heritage Dictionary, ―American Beauty‖ is a type of rose bearing large, long-stemmed purplish-red flowers.And the rose is a profound image in the Oscar winner of the Best Picture in 2001, so the Taiwan version 美國

心，玫瑰情 seems more to the point.4.2 Lacking a Comprehensive Understanding of the Story

The precondition for translating the title is the depth knowledge of the story;this is the first step to make a right and the best choice among many possible versions.But in many cases, the translator, probably without going to the movie before translating the title, has to come up with a version simply from the original English and a synopsis of the movie.The Day After Tomorrow is an American science-fiction disaster film in 2004 depicting catastrophic effects of global warming in a series of extreme weather events that usher in global cooling and lead to a new ice age.The film did well at the box office.The title also quickly leapt red.It was translated by literal translation as ―后天‖，but after seeing the movie , the audience will consider the title ―后天‖improper, ―明天過后‖ was more properly.4.3 Influence of Commercial Profits

As we mentioned above, movie itself is a sort of commodity and the movie titles are attractive to draw the audience’s attention and then film producers are able to access to economic interests.As a result, we always see a lot of exciting, passionate, mysterious or thrilling words in the titles though some of these titles actually reflect nothing of the original story.Here are some examples: Backtrack

-------------赤面殺手

Platoon

-------------殺戮戰場 Charlie’s Angels-------------霹靂嬌娃

Conclusion

The translation of the title of a movie is an interesting topic.Movies play an important role in the culture exchanges between different countries.The translation of movie’s title plays an important role in introducing and popularizing western movie culture.However, the translation of film titles, as a special and significant part of film translation, is a far less explored field.The translation of the film titles is a special process of re-creation.It isn't easy to obey the content and the forms of the original titles, but a hard research to the film themes, social problems, the ethnic association and national condition.Owing to the diversities of the west and the east, the westerners' opinions towards the translation are naturally different from the easterners.We wouldn't only see a part of the film and rush into translating it into literal translation or free translation.Translation is also a process of cultural communication because of the differences of the principles of the translation, the linguistic customs of the foreign countries and the characteristics of the film titles.That is not only to the audience, but also to the translators themselves.After all, the purpose of the film is to satisfy the audience.Different film titles require different translation methods.People should take all factors into consideration.In all, there are many challenges for us to translate the film titles, thus we should combine the practice of using translation methods, finding the balance between literal translation and free translation is rational to the translation of film titles.If we master the trick of the translation of film titles, everything becomes easy.To sum up, the ultimate goal of translation is to promote cross-cultural exchange —a long, evolutionary process

第五篇：電影片名翻譯賞析

中文電影片名翻譯賞析

一、非誠勿擾 If You Are the One 劇情簡介：秦奮(葛優飾)的天才發明被風險投資人(范偉飾)出天價買斷。一夜暴富的這位“剩男”揣著家底開始了“征婚”旅程。漫漫“征途”上，各懷心事者紛至沓來，一段“人間喜劇”演出2008世間百態。幾經周折后，秦奮終遇傾心佳人梁笑笑(舒淇飾)。無奈，美人心有所屬。秦奮究竟如何逆流而上？幾番悲欣交集后，有志者事竟成！秦奮終于帶著他的真愛開始一段全新征程。

片名翻譯賞析：本片主要開頭就是主人公想找個人結婚，“the One”恰恰能夠表明主人公想找到心目中的那個她的愿望。然而電影的線索是征婚，一個一個來試，所以英文片名翻譯中加了“If”。中文名是從否定意義上說的：不誠懇，不適合就不要來打擾；英文名反了過來，從正面來假設：如果你合適。這兩者有異曲同工之妙，著實為非常好的片名翻譯。

二、101次求婚 Say Yes 劇情簡介：樂團的大提琴手葉薰（林志玲 飾）因為三年前的未婚夫許卓（高以翔 飾）因車禍缺席婚禮而受到傷害，三年來美麗高雅的她雖然身邊追求者不斷，自己卻無法再愛上一個人。不期然的是，黃達（黃渤 飾），一個平凡的不能再平凡，在相親路上飽受挫折的包工頭闖入她的生活，打破了葉薰原本寧靜的生活。二人因為一次黃達幫葉薰解圍了一場演變成鬧劇的相親而相識，葉薰更是幫黃達要回了被拖欠許久的工程款。在一來一往的相處中，黃達逐漸被葉薰獨特的氣質吸引，不顧一切的展開了對葉薰的愛情攻勢。而葉薰也在想方設法的回絕黃達的過程中對這個執著的為自己付出的男人漸生情愫。然而就在葉薰為黃達的真情所動時，消失了三年的許卓重新出現在了她的生活中，成了二人感情的最大障礙??

片名翻譯賞析：中文名稱直截了當地介紹了片中很重要的一個劇情，男主人公為了尋找愛情已經相了101次親，而當他找到自己的真愛時，他渴望對方能夠答應自己。西方的婚禮中很重要的一部分就是相互說“Yes, I do”，所以該片的英文名也很巧妙的使用了歸化加意譯的手法，點明主人公為了使女主角Say Yes而付出的艱辛努力。三、一代宗師 The Grandmaster 劇情簡介：廣東佛山人葉問（梁朝偉 飾），年少時家境優渥，師從詠春拳第三代傳人陳華順學習拳法，師傅“一條腰帶一口氣”的告誡，支持他走過兵荒馬亂、朝代更迭的混亂年代。妻子張永成（宋慧喬 飾）潑辣干練，二人夫唱婦隨，琴瑟合璧。

1936年，佛山武術界亂云激蕩。八卦拳宗師宮羽田（王慶祥 飾）年事已高，承諾隱退。其所擔任的中華武士會會長職位，自然引起武林高手的關注與覬覦。包括宮羽田的獨生女宮二（章子怡 飾）在內，白猿馬三（張晉 飾）、關東之鬼丁連山（趙本山 飾）、詠春葉問等高手無不將目光聚焦在正氣凜然的宮羽田身上。拳有南北，國有南北乎？最有德行之人才堪會長重任，然這浮世虛名卻引得無數迷亂之人狂醉奔忙，浪擲殘生。生逢亂世，兒女情長埋藏心底，被冷若寒冰的車輪碾作碎泥??

片名翻譯賞析：片名直接點明影片的主要內容是關于一代德高望重的武術宗師的故事，主題鮮明，所以英文譯名也采取了直譯的手法，使得觀影者一眼就能看明白這部影片講述的內容，切合主題，不拖不沓，清楚明了。

四、聽風者 The Silent War 劇情簡介：1949年，新中國建立之初。江山初定，百廢待興，和平的表象下沒有硝煙的戰爭早已拉開序幕。敗逃臺灣的國民黨接連向大陸派出特工，伺機破壞。為了應對接二連三的破壞活動，中共成立情報部門701局與敵方展開連番較量。同年10月初，701局控制的偵聽局莫名消失，為了查清消失電臺的下落，701局負責人老鬼（王學兵 飾）授命代號二〇〇的張學寧（周迅 飾）去上海尋找耳力超群的鋼琴調音師羅三耳。結果陰差陽錯，學寧找到了羅德小徒弟——耳力同樣超群的盲人調音師阿兵（梁朝偉 飾）。

阿兵不負眾望，不僅通過層層嚴苛的考試，還在工作中一鳴驚人。在殘酷的諜報戰爭中，阿兵和學寧之間某種情愫也暗暗滋生??

片名翻譯賞析：該片英文片名如果直譯回漢語就是無聲的戰爭，但實際上片中講述的故事最為重要的一個元素就是電臺中的聲音。風幾乎是悄無聲息的，但總能有耳力超群的人能夠聽到，也可能是譯者為了故意夸大，借“Silent”來表明主人公贏得這場戰爭的不易。總體來講，此片名的翻譯不好不壞。

五、中國合伙人American Dreams in China 劇情簡介：20世紀80年代，三個懷有熱情和夢想的年輕人在高等學府燕京大學的校園內相遇，從此展開了他們長達三十年的友誼和夢想征途。出生于留學世家的孟曉駿（鄧超 飾）渴望站在美國的土地上改變世界，浪漫自由的王陽（佟大為 飾）盡情享受改革開放初期那蓬勃激昂的青春氣息，曾兩次高考落榜的農村青年成冬青（黃曉明 飾）以曉駿為目標努力求學，并收獲了美好的愛情。然而三個好友最終只有曉駿獲得美國簽證，現實和夢想的巨大差距讓冬青和王陽倍受打擊。偶然機緣，被開除公職的冬青在王陽的幫助下辦起了英語培訓學校，開始品嘗到成功的喜悅。在美國發展不順的曉駿回國，并加入學校，無疑推動三個好友朝著夢想邁進了一大步。

只是隨著成功的降臨，他們的友情也開始承受嚴峻的考驗?? 片名翻譯賞析：西方人對“American Dreams”是再熟悉不過了，本片名的翻譯采取了歸化的手法，把發生在中國通過奮斗而成功的故事譯為發生在中國的美國夢。但個人認為，自改革開放以來，很多人都通過努力實現了各自的夢想，尤其是近期中國夢的提出更是呼應了這一主題，所以應譯為“Chinese Dreams”更為恰當，同時這樣也能更有力地向國外推廣國內的文化。
