A Preliminary Research on Movie Translation
Abstract

Movie is a kind of massive media. It targets to audiences of different age, different level of literacy and different professions. With the development of our cross-cultural communication with other countries, more and more original films are introduced in our country. So, how to comprehend, assimilate and translate English original film becomes very important. The thesis probes into movie translation mainly from the following four aspects: in the first part, the thesis analyzes the movie as a kind of vehicle for cultural transmission. It plays an irreplaceable role in cultural communication. The thesis takes many original film dialogues as examples to prove the influence it has on eastern and western culture. The second part focuses on the special translation techniques we should pay attention to when we do movie translation, and the translation rules we should abide by. The third part discusses the differences between literary language and movie language in translation. The fourth part expounds the cross-cultural communication, cultural background, and social customs in movie dialogue. And then, the fact that cultural elements are the core of a movie translation is explained. Anyhow, the main purpose of this thesis is to try to make film translation “smooth, faithful, and elegant”.
