从关联理论看中国电影字幕的翻译

论文摘要

作为一种新兴和特殊的翻译模式，电影字幕翻译已经成为翻译不可或缺的一个组成部分，因此深层次地探讨电影字幕及其翻译显得格外必要。本文即以关联理论为基础分析了中文影片的字幕英译。本文用关联理论对电影字幕翻译作了尝试性的研究，旨在探讨中文电影的字幕英译是否与关联理论相符合。许多翻译学派的理论都能够用于字幕翻译的研究，但是关联理论是最合适的一种解释字幕翻译的理论。关联理论的中心主张是字幕翻译尽可能地产生最佳关联，来取得最佳的交际效果。由于受到诸多因素的限制，电影字幕翻译对译者的翻译水平提出了很高的要求。本文作者从关联理论角度出发，通过对中国电影字幕翻译的分析，归纳出一些切实可行的字幕翻译方法，并且辅以具体的例子来论证其正确性。希望翻译工作者和其他相关研究者更多地关注和研究字幕翻译，展开对字幕翻译更充分、更全面的探讨来进一步促进影视界的跨文化交流。
