从功能理论看受众对《加菲猫：双猫记》中幽默的接受程度

论文摘要

受益于IT业的发展和影视制作技术的进步,影视作品的翻译活动也在飞速发展,其中电影字幕翻译和电影配音是影视翻译活动的主要方面。在这种趋势下,影视翻译也逐渐获得了译界的关注和研究,成了一个新的翻译研究领域;关于电影字幕翻译或电影配音的理论也得到了丰富。一部好的电影要在海外市场获得成功离不开高质量的翻译,喜剧片尤其如此,而译制喜剧片的成功标准是外国观众对喜剧效果的理解和欣赏。本文以21世纪福克斯出品的《加菲猫2》为案例,以功能学派翻译理论分析观众对该影片幽默的不同理解和接受程度。文中比较了英语观众和中国受众对幽默的不同反应,以及中国观众对配音版和字幕版的不同接受反应。
