【摘要】 经过一个多世纪的发展,电影如今已经成为了一种常见的娱乐方式。而随着全球化的发展,人们有了更多的机会来欣赏制作精良、精彩纷呈的外国电影。为了使中国观众明白整部电影的内容,就需要将电影翻译成中文,这其中就包括了电影片名的翻译。作为影片不可或缺的一部分,电影片名有其独特的语言特色和民族文化内涵,是电影艺术性和票房商业性的集中体现。电影片名翻译属于实用英语翻译的范畴。一部电影片名的功能就是要吸引观众走进影院去观赏这部电影,这也同样是翻译电影片名的目的。本文以起源于德国的功能派翻译理论为基础,对电影片名翻译的现象作出了解释,并分析了在目的论指导下,音译、直译、意译及改译几种翻译策略在英语电影片名汉译中的应用。
