口述影像中手势与面部表情描述策略研究--以电影《国王的演讲》中的中文口述影像为例

On Description Strategies of Gestures and Facial Expressions in Audio Description:A Case Study of Chinese Audio Described The King’s Speech

口述影像是将电影和电视等视听文本中的画面信息以言语形式表达出来,有效地帮助视障人士感知戏剧、电影、电视等内容。手势和面部表情是非言语信息的一部分,是人类交际的重要组成部分,是电影塑造人物形象,推动情节发展的重要依托。电影《国王的演讲》通过丰富的手势和面部表情,传达了人物的内心活动和重要信息。以电影《国王的演讲》中的中文口述影像为例,运用描述性研究方法,基于Iwona Mazur对面部表情和手势的分类以及描述策略,探讨口述影像描述者描述电影中手势与面部表情所采用的策略。研究表明,描述者在描述手势与面部表情时,基于不同因素的考虑,采用了较为灵活的描述策略,基本传递了手势和面部表情所蕴含的信息,但也存在一些问题。

Through showing the visual verbally,audio description is effectively used for making theatre,movies and TV programs accessible to the blind and visually impaired people.Gestures and facial expressions are part of non-verbal information and human communication.Movies shape characters and promote the development of the plot based on these facial expressions and gestures.The film The King’s Speech has a wealth of gestures and facial expressions,which reveal the inner activities of the characters and effectively convey the main information.Based on the classification and description strategies of facial expressions and gestures proposed by Iwona Mazur,the paper takes the descriptive method to explore facial expressions and gestures in the Chinese audio-described film The King’s Speech.The results show that the describer adopts diverse description strategies considering different factors,which basically conveys the information contained in gestures and facial expressions.However,there still exist some problems.
