32、m titles before they enjoy the films. Film titles convey the story to the audience to attract them. This requires the translation of film titles to be accurate and embody the commercial values.2.2 Features of Chinese and English Movie Titles Due to the differences of culture and language between Chi

33、na and the west, the titles of each side differ in the following aspects.2.2.1 In Terms of FormAs far as length is concerned, Chinese movie titles looks short and brief, normally no more than seven words, such as暖, 英雄, 独自等待, 秋菊打官司, 一个都不能少, 第一次亲密接触. And most Chinese movie titles are four-word idioms

34、or set phrases, such as 卧虎藏龙霸王別姬, . Structure is carefully considered in Chinese movie titles. While for an English movie, the title is freer in both length, words use and structure, it can be as short as Matrix, babe, or they, but also can be as long as The Englishman Who Went up A Hill But Came Do

35、wn A Mountain. And it can be an idiom or a word or even a question etc., such as Far Away, they, and Who is Eating Gilbert Grape.Another difference is that Chinese movie titles are mostly verbs or verb phrases, while English movie titles are mostly nouns or noun phrases. That is to say, for Chinese

36、movie titles, verbs or verb phrases are on the dominant position but nouns or noun phrases are used in a small number, for English movie titles, the situation is just opposite. The examples of each are in large numbers. As examples, 我心飞翔, 十面埋伏, 秋菊打官司, 独自等待etc. and Cold Mountain, Casablanca, Ghost, M

37、illion Dollar Baby etc. can serve well. From 1928 to 2000, there are fifty of sixty-two Oscar Award movies use nouns or noun phrases as their titles.An evident feature of English movies is that names are frequently used as their titles. Thelma & Louise, Erin Brockvich, Jane Eyre, Madam Curie, Sabrin

38、a are eloquent examples. Places are also used as titles of English movies, for example,Casablanca,Brokeback Mountain,and Noting Hill. On the contrary, Chinese movies seldom use names or places as titles. Because only the name of an important person can be used as a title of a movie, such as 焦裕禄, it

39、is imaginable to use a name of a nobody as a title of a movie, this also applies to places.2.2.2 In Terms of StyleChinese movies are directly towards the theme in brief and meaningful words, it is easy for the audience to get a general idea about what is about or what is going to happen in the story

40、 with just a look at the title, whereas English movies titles are always just telling who, what, when, where or how, much information has been kept. In order to understand the movies theme, the audiences have to watch the movie with their own eyes, for example, you cant guess what it is going to hap

41、pen in Ghost if you dont watch it, but it is sure that you can guess more about 倩幽魂. And also without a beforehand watching you can absolutely get the theme of再说一次我爱你, but you cant in A love Story. Furthermore English movies titles are always free in style, it can be as odd as Seven, but also can be

42、 as common as A love Story, but for Chinese movies, titles are always serious, such as 天下无贼, 霸王別姬, it is hard to find a movie with a strange title.2.2.3 In Terms of Aesthetic and Thinking ModesEnglish movie titles look simple, casual. The freedom in length, structure, and language use reflects their

43、 aesthetic theory of simplicity. Chinese movie titles look symmetric, serious and delicate. Moreover, Chinese movie titles sounds musical with peculiar Chinese tones due to careful consideration of a movie titles audio-metric effect. These features reflect the Chinese aesthete of symmetry and balanc

44、e.These differences above reflect the difference of philosophy thinking and the aesthete between China and the west world. According to Fu lei, westerners value analysis and details, they try to be as specific and perfect as possible in their writings. Accuracy and specificity are emphasized in western culture, and the westerners see from the angle of parts or factors. What the western thinking way of analyzing and valuing parts reflects in movies is that names, the main factor of story line, are frequently used as titles. And the large use of name-titles is also the m
