英汉电影片名互译中的翻译单位

On the Unit of Translation in Chinese and English Movie Title Translation

翻译电影片名不仅涉及文本的语言因素,还依赖于文本外的社会因素,如:影片的所属类型,影片的故事内容和情节,影片中的意象,影片受众的大众口味。英汉电影片名互译应以源语文本的语篇作为基本的翻译单位。

The translation of English movie titles involves not only the factors within the discourse, but also the social factors outside the discourse, such as the type of film, the content and the plot of the story, the image in the film, and the flavor of the audience. The translation of English movie titles should base on the source discourse as the basic trait of translation.
