Abstract: This study aims to present a detailed analysis of the unique features of English film title translations in Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan from the perspective of Relevance Theory. The author discusses mainly the differences of English film title translations in the three areas respectively and points out that different cognition and context are the main causes for these phenomenon. In the author’s opinion, because the cultures, language systems and living habits in the three areas are still quite different from each other, the diversity of English film title translations will remain for a considerable period of time. In order to respect different cultures and customs, and avoid causing confusion to the audience when they are confronted with several translated versions with the same original film, the author suggests that we can address the issues by adding notes of different translations or notes of the different regions.
Key words: Relevance theory; Context and cognition; Film-title translation
摘要:本文将从关联理论的角度出发就同一部英文电影在大陆,香港和台湾三个地区出现的不同译名的情况进行分析,提出不同的译名是由不同的认知和语境造成。作者认为,既然两岸三地在文化,语言和生活习惯上不尽相同,我们就应该保留同一部英文电影在两岸三地的译名上的差异。为了避免此现象有可能为观众造成的混乱并尊重各地文化和习俗,作者提出了自己的解决办法,即对不同的译名加注或进行解释说明,这样既增加了观众对不同文化的认识又解决了同一影片不同译名的混淆现象。
