1.Description of English films in China's current situation and the necessity of translation
Film can create miracles---just like all those people who sit in the theater thinking from reality to dream world know it.Fascinating story with perfect pictures, shocking music, and great close-up scenes make you forget yourself completely.The aftertaste of a classic film bring to you is endless.When you think of the screen which make you get goose bumps, an exciting or eager showing in your eyes.People call movies is the seventh art after the literature, drama, music, dance, painting and sculpture.But, it’s not just an art.It is an art that have lots of audiences, suit both refined and popular tastes and with commercial.Today, cross-cultural communication is more active than ever, the spirit of national culture and ideology is mainly characterized by the content in the film.Therefore movies become the main channel of cultural transmission, and its influence is so large that can't be matched by other art forms.On the one hand, economic and cultural development stimulates the emerging film and television-dubbing career to flourish.Its operations around the world, including draw the materials, translation and distribution.On the other hand, the popularity of cable television and home video, the improvement of the technology(video, VCD and DVD)also plays a role in fueling the film’s spreading.Since the first movie introduced to China in 1896, the Chinese film industry has undergone enormous changes.Shoot technology innovation make the film a great audio-visual impact to the audience, and watching movies has become very common and very stylish entertainment in people’s lives now.In addition, the demand for foreign films, especially English films, is growing highly.Facing to these foreign language films, the primary task is translated them into Chinese, and the translation of the film title is one of the most important part.The film title is a link connecting the audience and film;it has the enormous influence to the film box office.First, except actor's exquisite performing skill, philosophy dialogue as well as gorgeous picture, a good film why can attract the audience has the direct relation with a film title which is pregnant with meaning and make people think a lot.The film title is a film's brand trademark.In the multitudinous film advertisement newspaper, the film title is always in the extremely striking position, and it is playing the role which leads attention directly.As a film, the title is seen firstly by the audience.Therefore, every movie screenwriter and director will highly summarize his movie content, and takes one as the title for it can both express one's ideas expressively and appeal eyeball.Second, the film express certain ideas to the audience to pass certain information , and the film title should also highlight the video content , convey the theme information and establish the entire film emotional tone.Film titles can not only summarize the content of the film succinctly , reveals the theme of the film, and make the audience seize the film's style and substance , but also inspire the imagination of the audience and watching desires with its distinctive form of language.Excellent film titles like the outstanding literary works, should be concise the summary of the content of films, succinctly revealing the theme, and stimulate the audience's imagination.The perfect unity of a good title and the good content will allow the audience to get the influence of the arts and the joy of beauty.2.Film title translation Since the first English language film was introduced to China, there are already three decades till now.This period, the translator made constantly efforts and improvements, and formed some common translation methods.Currently, there are more and more English films introduced into China.The translation industry also formed a relatively fixed translation theory, specifically;there are the following three theories: 2.1 The literal translation or free translation Literal translation and free translation are two representative methods of translation in the history of translation.Due to variations in people's understanding of literal translation and free translation, there are someone accept both of these methods, someone accept just one, someone accept neither.However, in terms of the perspective of describing translation or transfer translation, literal translation and free translation is always meaningful.Literal translation and free translation is designed to faithfully express the ideological content of the original and reproduce the original art.Simply put, the literal translation means the translation methods and sentence structure is more similar to the original sentence, but does not rule out some adjustments at the phrase level.Free translation means discarded the original expression, and find a synonymous expression equivalent to the original, or make major changes or adjustments to the original sentence structure.2.1.1 Literal translation Carefully understands the literature name and film title, we can find different types.Therefore, the translation methods vary.The following types suit for the Literal translation 2.1.1.1 Protagonists name or description for the title.Such as:
Hamlet
HA MU LEI TE,(哈姆雷特)Othello
AO SAI LUO,(奥赛罗), King Lear
LI ER WANG，(李尔王), Macbeth
MAI KE BAI,(麦克白), Romeo and Juliet
LUO MI OU YIU ZHU LI YE,(罗密欧与朱丽叶)David Copperfield
DAI WEI KE BO FEI ER,(大为.科波菲尔), Jane
JIAN ,(简), Sister Carrie
JIA LI MEI MEI ,(嘉莉妹妹), Lucky Jim
XING YUN DE JI MU，(幸运的吉姆), a lonely Johnny
GU DU DE YUE HAN NI,(孤独的约翰尼), Julius
ZHU LI SI KAI SAI,(朱丽斯凯撒), Father and Son
FU YU ZI,(父与子), Sons and Lovers
ER ZI YU QING REN,(儿子与情人).2.1.1.2 The place where the story happen for title,Such as:

ZHI JIA GE,(芝加哥), Washington Square
HUA SHENG DUN GUNAG CHANG,(华盛顿广场), Boston
BO SHI DUN,(波士顿), The Secret Garden

ZAI ZHONG GUO PING MU SHNAG,(在中国屏幕上).2.1.1.3 Stories for titles, such as: the merchant of Venice
WEI NI SI SHANG REN,(威尼斯商人), The Adventures of Tom Sawye TANG MU SUO YE LI XIAN JI ,(汤姆索也历险记), Gulliver's travels
GE LIE FO YOU JI,(格列佛游记), Alice s Adventures in Wonderland
AI LI SI MAN YOU XIAN JING,(爱丽丝漫游仙境)，Mansfield Park
MAN SI FEI ER DE YUAN,(曼斯菲尔德园).2.1.1.4 the other types, such as: Great Expectations
YUAN DA QIAN CHENG,(远大前程), The Mayor of Casterbridge
KA SI TE QIAO SHI ZHANG,(卡斯特桥市长), The Grapes of Wrath
FEN NU DE PU TAO,(愤怒的葡萄), the Godfather
JIAO FU,(教父), Five Classics

AO MAN YU PIAN JIAN,(傲慢与偏见), time machine
SHI JIAN JI QI,(时间机器), The Call of The Wild
YE XING DE HU HUAN,(野性的呼唤), The Sea-wolf
HAI LANG,(海狼).These titles are just a few words, but they reveal the author's intention and the true state of mind.It represents the author's effort and reflected the monumental piece of substance and essence of the film.Therefore, for those that can be translated literally must be translated by literal to keep the work formerly original and make the title and content unite in harmony.Especially when it comes to the film named after the main character.The hero is the typical character live in specific times and specific environments that are created by the author, such as Shakespeare’s Hamlet and a-Q in the works of Lu Xun.They have a distinct character, image, and destiny.The principles and methods of translation of film title or translation of literary works are the same.Both of them take the breadth of its audience and the diversity of appreciation level into account, therefore, the translation should be simple and popular, easy catchy and implying the subtle meaning.Film title suitable for literal translation should be translate as literal as possible in order to convey the information formerly and maintain the perfect unity of the original title and content.That should be a basic principle and method of the film title translation.This type title just needs to be image, vivid, concise in the text, and it can fully reproduce the content of formerly.Such as: description of a walk in the clouds is the love story of a pair of young men and women filled with the vineyards of grapes flowers, so the film is literally translated as the Walk in the Clouds, while maintaining the formerly known as the meaning and full of poetic.Such cases are: the age of innocence(The Age of Innocence), natural born killers(Natural Born Killers), the perfect world(better world), death on the Nile(Death on the Nile)rain man(Rain Man)superman(superman), citizen(Citizen Kane), schindler’ s list(Schindler's List)2.1.2 free translation Certain English film title contains very few words and the language is simple.It is apparently lightly, but the connotation is actually rich and pregnant with meaning, does not reveal.If this kind of film title translates literally, it will be difficult to reach its contents, reveal its charm.Therefore, when translation must rest on the entire book content, the original book title intention, and unit the target language characteristic, sets up a new name.In order to concise its content to reflect its implication, and executes the literary talent slightly to make the translated name and the original work style coordinates.For example: Gone With the Wind
PIAO ,(飘)，Waterloo Bridge
HUN DUAN LAN QIAO,(魂断蓝桥), Blood and Sand
BI XIE HUNAG SHA,(碧血黄沙), The Bathing Beauty
CHU SHUI FU RONG,(出水芙蓉), Polsinney Harbour
YU XIANG JI DU QING,(渔乡几度情), Wines-burg Ohio
XIAO CHENG JI REN ,(小城畸人), Earthquake
JING HUN DUO MING,(惊魂夺命), The Red Shoes
HONG LING YAN ,(红菱艳)，Speed
SHENG SI SHI SU,(生死时速), Black Mask
HEI XIA ,(黑侠)，Black Beauty
HEI JUN MA ,(黑骏马)，Dr Jekyll and Mr.Hyde
HUA SHEN BO SHI ,(化身博士)and so on 2.2 Integration of literal translation and free translation
English and American films have a number of titles in simple and concise, but moral implication and difficult to grasp.In addition, some titles originated from allusions, meaning rich and obscure, hard to check.It is difficult to understand the implied meaning of the original title.People must think about the whole content or check allusions, carefully wondering and hashing, accurately understand the intent of author when translate them.Based on the foundation of literal translation of original titles ,translator plus word or change word to some key words to make translation semantic clearly , such as: a Farewell to Arms
YONG BIE LE ,ZHANG ZHNEG;(永别了，战争)，Ghost
REN GUI QING WEI LIAO；(人鬼情未了)One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
FEI YUE FENG REN YUAN;(飞越疯人院), On The Golden Pond
JIN SE CHI TANG;(金色池塘), Moonlighting
PI XING DAI YUE;(披星戴月), Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die

Due to the different style of film and different points between British and Chinese language, some titles translated by word will be too abstract, implicit and irrelevant with story content.People may feel dull, and it cannot make any guiding effects.Therefore, for these titles, translator should appropriately plus a text which can reflect hero image or film content when translate them.Based on the foundation of literal translation, according to the content of film, it will play a finishing touch to the characters and film content for example, Oscar(LIE QUAN AO SI KA CHUAN QI;猎犬奥丝卡传奇), it will bursting bald if literal translation for AO SI KA(奥丝卡), also will be easily confused with Oscar Ward.Adding the word of dog , it generally works very well.And Comeback(GU LI E MENG;故里噩梦), plus the word of nightmare ,it greatly enhance the attraction and literary character.Lime Light(WU TAI DENG GUNAG;舞台灯光), Patton(BA DUN JINAG JUN;巴顿将军), Legal Eagles(FA WANG SHNE YING;法网神鹰), The Piano(GANG QIN KE;钢琴课), The French Connection(FA GUO FAN DU WANG;法国贩毒网), Silas Marner(ZHI GONG MA NAN:织工马南), this is the case.Film title translation is not only the conversion of language but also a cultural exchange.Translation needs follow the correct principles and methods, needs more inspiration and rigorous attitude , in order to make the translation of well-known and widely accepted.In recent years, we widely introduce the foreign works and films, but the introduction of the original books and films are very scarce, these are mostly translated works.Taking the important role of a film title into account, the film producer make efforts to find a proper title that can lead full content, highlight the theme and must be simple and concise, have a profound message.Moreover, the producers try to make the title to be a pair of eyes that can reveal the individuality and give the deep impression to the audience.From the title, people can understand the content of the work, the hero's image, and have a desire for the whole film.People named the film like this, the same as the film title translation.Someone may think the translation of film names is an easy shot, but translating well was not an easy thing actually.It is necessary to conform to the language specification, and should be full of charm;it is necessary to be faithful to the original content of the title, and should be reflect to the original language features of the title.So the translation of film names is the artistic recreation.However, it is not until after more than 100 years of the introduction of first foreign films in China, translation of film names begin to get its due attention.Early research on the subject, such as Brief Discussion on Foreign Film Tittles Translations(Lin Qiuyun, 1996)and Discussion on the Translation of Film Names(Ning zhishou life, 1997), simply emphasizes the translation skills and ignore the cultural and commercial characteristics of the movie title.After entering the 21st century, based on the original translation theory, scholars began to study the features of the film titles from different perspectives.Fore example, He Ying(2001)analysis the characteristics of the movie title from the source of the movie title ,style , feature and category , and made a literal translation﹑free translation ﹑transliteration and another translation.Fang Yongbin, Wang Xiaotong(2005)study from the advertisement feature and cultural characteristics.Now, researchers increasingly attach importance to the film title value reflected in cultural exchanges, business profits and the artistic.3.Problems in the current film title translation Currently, the translation of film titles as a translation not in literary field has not yet attracted enough attention.There are more Chinese people watching films and TV series than reading the literature, but Chinese academia give the translation of literary more attention than the studies of film translation.“(Qian Shao-Chang, 2000: 61).In addition, there are many film titles mistranslations in the current film title translation.I find it mainly caused by the following two reasons after a brief analysis: 3.1 Lack of understanding of cultural connotation ”Title translation should be did after the completion of other translation tasks”.(Newark, 1988:12)Therefore, the translator should translate the movie's title based on watching the whole movie and fully understand the film.The culture is the specific lifestyles and modes of expression of the groups, which use a particular language as the expression “(Newmark, 1998:21).Clearly, the film titles also include certain cultural connotation.If the translator cannot be aware of or misunderstood the cultural connotation, it is likely to have the title caused by mistranslation.E.g1: American film: American Beauty, Mainland and Hong Kong have their own respective title translation version.Mainland translated as ”《美国美人》“, Hong Kong translated as ”《美国丽人》“.Unfortunately, these two simple versions of literal translation is mistranslation.According to the American Heritage Dictionary, American Beauty is a kind of roses, flower leaf length, purple.These beautiful and sacred flowers are symbol of divine love.In the film, the director used this flower as a symbol of a girl's love with the approach of association, Taiwan's translation is《美国心·玫瑰情》and it is more appropriate.3.2 Simply pursuit of business profits
As an entertainment industry, film should to not only entertain the public but also earn the box office revenue.Therefore, the translation of film titles will inevitably be subject to the influence of the marketing strategy of the entire film.To attract audiences, some film titles translation may not have any relationship with the film's storyline.Let us look at the following example:
E.g.: Original Sin(《原罪》)
《激情叛侣》
The Shaw shank Redemption
(《肖申克的救赎》)
《月黑高飞》
Pretty Woman(《漂亮女人》)
《风月俏佳人》
The Lives Of Others(《别人的生活》)
《窃听风暴》
If the readers have read the above-mentioned movies, they will find the second movie title translation far away from the original, and not consistent with the story.Now, there are still a lot of translators, simply pursuit of commercial profit, regardless of any translation principles, resulting in a lot of mistranslation.4.Translation equivalence concept Film is a form of art loved by peoples from all over the world.Excellent film has no national boundaries and it is a very good form of cultural exchange.When we introduce a foreign film, the first thing is to give it a proper name.Good title can make the target language audience eager to see the film faster and therefore, translation of film titles is very important.Zhou Jueliang had pointed out that translations vary based on the different types.Translation of the film title has its own characteristics(He Ming, 1998).From a linguistic point of view, film titles usually have a very simple constitute, usually only a few words.Compared with the other forms of language conversion, which are clearly not limited by deep level language such as sentences, paragraphs, text.However, due to special requirements on the functional, translation of film, titles show complex phenomenon to a certain degree, and it needs to be pointed out with translation theories and principles.Among all translation theory, translation equivalence can be used as important theoretical basis of movie title translations.Translation equivalence concept is a core issue in the modern translation theory in the West.1790, Alexander Fraser Tytler said ”good translations are fully moved advantage of original language to another, make the translate language people can clearly understand, strongly felt just like the original language people feel “in his Brief Discussion on Translation Theory.He first proposed the translation equivalence concept in the history.(Zhang Ling, 1994).America linguistics and translation theorist, Jacobson believes that all human languages have equal expressive power, but in the translation process, we must first overcome the structural differences between the original language and the target language to ensure that text equivalent.Eugene Nada the same as Jacobson, he stressed the commonality of language, but from the point of view of communication science and Informatics, he proposed, “the relationship between translation recipient and translation information should be basically the same as the relationship between the original recipient and the original information.” in 1964,(Jiang Zhiwen, and Wen Jun 2000).Newmark explore the ”reciprocal“ problem from the translation theory's point of view.He divided translation into ”semantic translation“ and ”communicative translation“.Semantic translation focuses on the semantic content of the original text, and communicative translation focused on the reader's understanding and response.Newmark thinks most of the translation of non-literary texts suitable for communicative translation(Newmark, 2001).Moreover, all about this, the center of attention is the function of the language, rather than the language feature, it emphasize the functional equivalence.When it comes to the translation of English film titles, the so-called ”equivalence“ refers that the effect of the film translate title to the target language country audience should be the same as the affect of the original title to the original language nation audience , thereby to created a watching desire and achieve the aim of cultural exchange.In accordance with the principles of equivalent translation, and combine with different actual situation, we can take the method of literal translation, transliteration, free translation in English film title translation.4.1 The literal translation or transliteration Literal translation or transliteration refers that when the title is easy to understand, we can directly translate it according to the literal meaning or pronunciation of the title.Such as:
Ｂｅａｕｔｙ ａｎｄ Ｔｈｅ Ｂｅａｓｔ
《美女与野兽》 Ｂｒａｖｅ Ｈｅａｒｔ
《勇敢的心》 Ｃｉｔｉｚｅｎ Ｋａｎｅ
《公民凯恩》 Ｔｈｅ Ｇｏｄｆａｔｈｅ
《教父》 Ａｍｅｒｉｃａｎ ｂｅａｕｔｙ
《美国丽人》 Ｃａｓａｂｌａｎｃａ
《卡萨布兰卡》 Ｊａｎｅ Ｅｙｒｅ
《简爱》 Ａｎｎｉｅｎ Ｈａｌ
《安妮・霍尔》 Ｊｕｒａｓｓｉｋ Ｐａｒｋ
《侏罗纪公园》 Ｓｏｕｎｄ ｏｆ Ｍｕｓｉｃ
《音乐之声》 Ｔｉｔａｎｉｃ
《泰坦尼克号》 Ｋｉｎｇ Ａｒｔｈｕｒ
《亚瑟王》 Ｓｃｈｉｎｄｌｅｒ’ｓ ｌｉｓｔ
《辛德勒名单》 Ｇｌａｄｉａｔｏｒ
《角斗士》 Ｌｏｖｅ ｏｆ Ｍａｙ
《五月之恋》
Here is to be noted that, when some names in English film titles are unimportant consonants, it can be omitted in the transliteration.Because if the name more than four words, it is not conducive to memory and Chinese audiences would be awkward to read.Therefore, it should comply with principle of brief.(Hua Xianfa, 1999:190).Annien translated as ”An(安)“, not ”An Nien(安尼恩“;Schindler translated as ”Xin Dele(辛德勒)“, not ”Si Xindele(斯辛德勒)“.Some of the masterpieces of the world, such as Jane Eyre, Juliet, Wuthering Heights, has a relatively fixed in Chinese translation, so the English film title translation should comply with established principles and translate respectively.Which is capable of maintaining the original charm and allows viewers to immediately think of the original works? In addition, the transliteration should used the certain words provided in the transliteration table, and not use the easy associative terms, so as not to cause misunderstanding or make a fool mistake(Hua Xianfa, 1999:190).Jurassic translate as ”ZHU LUO JI(侏罗纪)“, it cannot be translated into ”ZHU RU JI(侏儒纪)“.4.2 Free translation
As mentioned above, English film has massively use of the personal name or geographical names directly as the film title.If translates literally constantly, it is a string of meaningless character to the translated language audience possibility and does not play any attraction role.Therefore, this requests the translator fully understand the movie content and display their subjective initiative, to make the translated title to be faithful to the original content, and transmit the movie content ,and express one's ideas expressively(He Ning, 1998).4.2.1 Literal translation adds the explanation Ｓｌｅｅｐｌｅｓｓ ｉｎ Ｓｅａｔｔｌｅ 《西雅图不眠夜》 Ｔｈｅ Ｎｅｔ 《网络情缘》 Ｍｏｏｎｓｔｒｕｃｋ 《月色撩人》 Ｓａｎｄ ａｎｄ Ｂｌｏｏｄ 《碧血黄沙》 Ｉｎｔｅｒｐｒｅｔｅｒ 《翻译**》

4.3.1 Reconstructing the cultural intention
Because of the film and its title always infiltrate into the nation’s certain culture system of literature, history, philosophy, religious, traditional, custom and legend, and plus the diaphragm of culture ring, it often can’t be known by people belongs to another culture system.Therefore, it became ”super language factors“ in language inter-conversion and understanding or communication obstacles.Without carefully consider, it is easily to cause misunderstanding.(Lin Qiuyun, 1996)Such as the film Hobson ' s Choice ,it is translated into the HUO BU XUN DE XUAN ZE(霍布逊的选择).It is about a shoe shopper named Hobson who not willing the eldest daughter married to a guy in the shop, but he give up because he is against by his three daughters’ alliance.Film actor named it Hobson, and does not have any problems apparently.However, Hobson is an English idiom, from the Observer Magazine(1712:509).Hobson is a United Kingdom Cambridge post boss in 16th century, and rental horse to their customers.However, he had a strange temper;he loves his horse very much and always insists on a fixed rotation of rental.When customers went to the stables to rent horse, they can only take the certain one even they do not like, and leave no room for negotiation.Later, people refer to the idiom, means ”there is no choice or room for negotiation“(Ma Gongru, 1997:243).Obviously, the HUO BU XUN DE XUAN ZE(霍布逊的选择)has not translated the pragmatic meaning of it, and unable to achieve functional equivalence with the original film, too.If we change the angle, switched to the culture of intention which Chinese audiences familiar with, and translated into the BIE WU XUAN ZE(别无选择),it will be better.Also Pumpkin Eater, it may be translated into the SHI NAN GUA DE REN(食南瓜的人).But it is derived from a popular nursery rhyme: ”Ｐｅｔｅｒ，Ｐｅｔｅｒ，ｐｕｍｐｋｉｎ ｅａｔｅｒ，ｈａｄ ａ ｗｉｆｅ ａｎｄ ｃｏｕｌｄｎ’ｔ ｋｅｅｐ ｈｅｒ． “So, according to the story, translate into the TAI TAI DE KU MEN(太太的苦闷)seems more appropriate.There are also a lot of success translations, such as the Waterloo Bridge(HUN DUAN LAN QIAO;魂断蓝桥), the Ghost(REN GUI QING WE LIAO:人鬼情未了), the Bridges of Madison County(LANG QIAO YI MENG:廊桥遗梦), The Red Shoes(HONG LING YAN;红菱艳), The Bathing Beauty(CHU SHUI FU RONG;出水芙蓉), Forrest Gump(A GAN ZHENG ZHUN;阿甘正传).These translations discard the literal meaning of the original title, instead of the culture of intention which the Chinese audiences familiar with.4.3.2 Adjusted according to the differences between Chinese and English language
Chinese belong to Sino-Tibetan language family, English belong to Indo-European family.As a consequence, the Chinese emphasis on the accent and English emphasis on the syntactic difference.Because of the influence of doctrine philosophy,Chinese aesthetics audience emphasis on the special balance in the words.Therefore, four-word phrases are extensively using(Chen Hongwei, 1997:28).English stressed the correct syntax, and some films even take a sentence as name.So, the translator should note the differences in Chinese and English language, and make some appropriate adjustments.So those, the translation reader can catch information according to their mode of thinking.Such as:
Ｓｏｕｎｄ ｏｆ Ｍｕｓｉｃ 《音乐之声》 Ｔｏｐ Ｇｕｎ 《壮志凌云》 Ｍｙ Ｆａｉｒ Ｌａｄｙ 《窈窕淑女》 Ｗｉｌｄ Ｗｉｌｄ Ｗｅｓｔ 《飚风战警》 Ｔｈｅ Ｗｉｚａｒｄ ｏｆ Ｏｚ 《绿野仙踪》 Ｔｈｅ Ａｇｅ ｏｆ Ｉｎｎｏｃｅｎｃｅ 《纯真年代》 Ｃｉｔｉｚｅｎ Ｋａｎｅ 《公民凯恩》 Ｂｌａｄｅ Ｒｕｎｎｅｒ 《银翼杀手》 Ｉｔ Ｈａｐｐｅｎｅｄ Ｏｎｅ Ｎｉｇｈｔ 《一夜风流》 Ｉｔ’ｓ ａ Ｗｏｎｄｅｒｆｕｌ Ｌｉｆｅ 《风云人物 Ｍｒ Ｄｅｅｄｓ Ｇｏｅｓ ｔｏ Ｔｏｗｎ 《富贵浮云》 Ｙｏｕ Ｃａｎ’ｔ Ｔａｋｅ ｉｔ Ｗｉｔｈ Ｙｏｕ 《民主万岁》
5.The principle that film titles translation should follow
5.1 Cater for the content of the original film, reflecting the themes of the original film, outstanding original film style
A good film should have a clear theme.Battle about cops and robbers or description of love, to reflect social ethics or science fiction.Film styles vary with different themes.Cops-and-gangsters films give a twist, such as
Speed、《生死 时速 》 The Rock、《石 破天 惊》 The French Connection;
《法国 贩 毒网 》 Romance or romantic lingering, or patience, often give the taste, such as Waterloo Bridge、《魂 断蓝桥》 The Bridges of Madison County、《廊 桥遗梦》 The Piano、《钢琴别恋 》 Ghost、《人 鬼情 未 了》
Shakespeare re in Love;
《恋爱 中 的莎 士 比亚 》 Social and ethical topics serious, warning or enlightenment to people, such as the Kramer VS Kramer、《克雷默夫妇》 Rain M an;
《雨人 》
Fantastic, fantasy, and horror and science fiction films are often set in one about the fantasy world that does not exist in the real world, such as
The E.T.、《外星人 》 Batman、《蝙蝠侠》
Jurassic Park.《侏罗纪公园》
Translations should be able to properly reflect the content of the original movie, its themes, and highlight their style.United States 1939 film taken of Waterloo Bridge Love Story about a pathetic: in 1914, during the first world war, in London, in an air raid alert, luoyi·kelaoning and ballet dancer Myra met Captain young military officers on Waterloo Bridge, they just clicked immediately, and soon fall in love.However, as the war lovers cannot become family members.The heroine buried on the Waterloo Bridge under the wheels, and eliminating kill.Translator translate title is relevant to the Waterloo Bridge movie content, reflects the original tragic, is just right.Translator use ”broken souls“ to make it more acceptable to the audience.United States comedy Mrs.Doubtfire, talking about a story of a divorced man Daniel Hillard dressed up as a fat old woman going to his ex-wife's domestic every day in order to be able to see the children.Comedy scenes continue to appear in the film did some marvelous impressions.The translation is FEI MA XIAN SHANG(肥妈先生).The use of ”MOM“ and ”Sir“ highlighted the comedy style very well.YUN ZHONG MAN BU(云中漫步),the translation of the United States film A Walk in the Clouds are rated as the best.Original title literally means ”in the cloud“.Description of a pair of young men and women filled with scent of grape vineyards in the moving story of love.Vineyards in the movie named ”cloud“ covers a wide, green a, enveloped, is like a dream, love the heroine walks in the park.How romantic and poetic!This translation is in line with the film theme of romantic love, to read ”full of poetic, one Kiss, saw a cloud-like grape flowers smell the aroma of melts your heart all into“ and ”translation of Jacob was decent, image better, meaning long“(He Yue sensitivity, 1997), really colorful, and dominated!
5.2 Concise, easy to remember
Film is an art suit for both refined and popular tastes, and it is a popular form of entertainment too.In a sense, it is a commodity should be widely circulated.In order to make it easier to spread, movie title should be concise and easy to remember.This probably is the “usefulness” said by He Yuemin.Actually many films translation is consistent with the requirements.Such as: Star Wars、《星球大战》
Forrest Gump、《阿甘正传 》
Superman、《超人》
Terminator、《未来战士》
Roman Holiday、《罗马假日》
My Fair Lady、《窈窕淑女》
The Sound of Music、《音乐之声》
For Whom the Bell Tolls、《战地钟声》
On the Golden Pond、《金色池塘》
Bathing Beauty
《出水芙蓉》
It is not difficult to see that these translations use only a few words to translate all the content and meaning of the original movie.Moreover, most of them only four words, just as Chinese idioms, reading full of rhythm, easy catchy and easy to remember and spread.Also some translation of the movie title failed to meet this requirement.Feng HuaZhan(1980), said he saw a movie called the Qipulian·Bolongbeisiku.This title makes him very disgusted, because it is hard to remember and struggled to speak.5.3 Film title conformed to the Chinese language standard, and suited to our viewers enjoys habit.It should be said that some films do not need translator design, just translate it with the corresponding Chinese according to the equivalence principle.Of course, the premise is not to cause the audiences understand difficulties and must conform to the Chinese language standard.For example, the American adventure spy film named North by Northwest.Someone will translate it to XI BEI PAIN BEI(西北偏北).Through the title, viewers do not know what the film about, and it is not in line with Chinese language specification.Therefore, this translation is not desirable.Another translation of the film DIE HAI FENG YUN(谍海风云)is a good translation.Which give the suspense, highlights the style of spy film, clear and concise, while correspond to the Chinese language specifications.English films always use the owner's name or location as the title of the story.There is also the case in our China film, but less.Chinese films’ habit is to use the title to summarize the content of substance.Therefore, the translation of English film Hamlet as HA MU LEI TE(哈姆雷特)is in line with our habits.Oliver Twist translated as WU DU GU ER(雾都孤儿)is better than translated as the AO LIE FU TUI SI TE(奥列佛 退斯特).Because the former give us the place where the story take place(fog city, London)and the identity of the main character(an orphan).The Chinese audience can accept it easily.The American film Gone with the Wind(LUAN SHI JIA REN;乱世佳人)based on the same name novel is a good example.The “LUAN SHI(乱世)” explain the background of the story(the civil war), “JIA REN” named the heroine of the movie and showed the heroine’s frustrated experience.Look at an example.There is a film about American campus life, called Mr.Holland's Opus, The film tells the story of a remarkable music teacher, Holland.Holland works hard for 30 years in his teaching positions.He was “not rich, not famous, but his achievements beyond fame and wealth ”.He influences every student of the school.He is the Orchestra's conductor, each student is his notes, and every student is his works(Opus).Name of the literal translation is the HE LAN XIAN SHENG DE ZUO PIN(贺兰先生的作品), but now it is translated into the CHUN FENG HUA YU(春风化雨).The new translation has a deeper meaning than the formerly and show the movie extraordinary story, allows viewers to experience a teacher’s permeated personality charm.(Cai Weidong, 2000:104-105).At the same time, wonderful translation is like a piece of art, for people to enjoy the beauty of art.6.The conclusion
When the importance of English film titles translation increasingly be reflected, when the shortcomings of the current English film titles translation theory and method is revealed, and when the relevant problems are getting cause the attention of people, I believe that people will intensify research on this area of expertise, moreover, the translation equivalent theory and attention principles I mentioned in paper will make some significances on the development and improvement of the title translation.After continuous efforts, the present translation problems will be gradually resolved, the translation of English film titles will be more standardization, and the usefulness, the literariness and the scientific nature of the translation will greatly enhance.Bibliography ．
