电影文本的多模态性对字幕翻译的影响

The Effect of Film Text's Multimodality on Subtitling

电影语篇是由图像、声音、文字等多种符号系统组成的多模态语篇,电影的字幕翻译强调了功能性,多模态性和多种交际模态的互补性。这些都使字幕翻译具有重要的现实意义和理论意义。因此译者应该从电影多模态文本的特性出发,考虑字幕翻译不同于纯文本翻译的特征以及电影字幕翻译的标准。

Film text is a multimodal one which includes image, sound and word system. Subtitling em-phasizes the function, multimodality, and intertextuability. Therefore translators should start from the characteristics of multimodality to find out the criteria of subtitling which is different from pure text translation.
