Abstract:Film is a perfect means of facilitating intercultural communication and understanding. The quality of film title translation plays a key role in ensuring the popularity of the film in a foreign country. Film titles possess some unique characteristics, namely the linguistic, aesthetic, cultural and commercial features. Eco-translatology combines ecology and translation studies perfectly. It focuses on the ecological environment of the translational activities and highlights the accomplishment of the three-dimension transformations. When translating film titles, translators should render a translated version that is both informative and entertaining to achieve the linguistic dimension transformation. Secondly, they should cross the cultural gaps by handling the culture-loaded titles carefully and finding some corresponding expressions conforming to the target culture to fulfill the cultural dimension transformation. Thirdly, the translators should render the translated film titles according to the target audiences’ aesthetic and communicative preferences in order to achieve the communicative dimension transformation.
Key words: Eco-translatology; film title translation; linguistic dimension transformation; cultural dimension transformation; communicative dimension transformation
