1、 从西方的角度出发
对西方文化背景的理解上,如：著名的心理惊悚片“seven”.这部影片讲述的是一个疯狂的凶手自认上帝,围绕天主教七大死罪的惩戒逐条杀人的犯罪故事.Seven这个在宗教上非常神秘的数字,在这部电影中也处处得到体现,但是如果影片名译为简单的一个“七”字,中国观众绝不会产生同样的文化联想和认同,所以影片公映时译为《七宗罪》,点明故事主线和seven最为主要的宗教寓意.可谓文化价值体现的经典范例.“One Flew over theCuckoo’s Nest”直译为“飞越杜鹃窝的人”,其实“Cuckoo'sNest”在英语里是“精神病院”的意思,因而“飞越疯人院”这个译名更为准确传神地体现了原片名和影片本身的真谛.在适应中国观众的文化需求上,如,The Spiderman译成“蜘蛛侠”正是迎合了中国人对“侠”字的理解.再如出现的许多四字影片名翻译及典型的带有中国特色文化的翻译也正体现了中国人传统的文化韵味.另外一个例子就是刚刚获得奥斯卡最佳影片的《老无所依》,它的英文译名是《No Country for Old Men》,乃是源自19世纪初英国著名诗人济慈的诗作《驶向拜占庭》(Sailing to Byzantium),意思直译为是“没有适合老年人的国度”,电影里讲的正开始不胜邪的开始,老人代表的是传统的,正确的价值观,正义的力量如果译者当时不知道这层意思,就很容易翻译错误.Bathing Beauty——出水芙蓉,The Wizard of Oz——绿野仙踪,The Italian Job——偷天换日,Catch me if you can——逍遥法外,Dances with Wolves——与狼共舞,Red Shoes——红菱艳,等,影片名的翻译都体现了这一点.
2 从中文角度出发
2008年是中国的奥运年,也是中外文化交流的关键一年.电影作为文化的一个重要的组成部分,必然是文化交流不可缺少的重要部分.一部电影的翻译固然重要,但作为电影门面的电影题目的翻译更加重要.事实上,有很多英文电影名称的汉译就体现出了浓厚的中国文化意味.
首当其冲便属《魂断蓝桥》.《魂断蓝桥》英文原名为"Waterloo Bridge”.直译“滑铁卢桥”.译为“魂断蓝桥”取意中国传统黄梅戏折子戏《蓝桥会》.《蓝桥会》讲了一个凄美的爱情故事,正合了Waterloo Bridge里男女主人公的不幸遭遇.因此,影片译为《魂断蓝桥》不仅体现了影片的主要内容,而且蕴含了中国文化.一举两得.
《美人计》是另一部饱含中国文化的汉译.“美人计”为“三十六计”之一众所周知.影片《美人计》译自美国电影“Notorious”.Notorious是一个很普通的英文词,意为“臭名昭著,声名狼藉”.影片讲的是原德国间谍约翰的女儿,热情、迷人的利亚利用父亲的关系打入纳粹内部,利用婚姻关系成功窃取敌人情报为祖国效力的故事.这是一部有悬念、有美女、有谍情、有爱情的影片,译为《美人计》,其中国文化内涵不言而喻.

1.Proceed from western angle
On the understanding of western culture background,for instance:Famous psychological horror film " seven ".Whom the film tell think God,centre on Catholicism seven major crime story of murder one by one of discipline of capital of fence one crazy murderer.This very mysterious figure on the religion of Seven,is reflected in this film everywhere too,but if film name translate simple one " seven " word into,Chinese audience can never produce cultural Lenovo equally and admit,so the film is translated the thread of story and seven mainest religious implied meaning into " seven crimes ".May well be termed the classical example that cultural value reflects."
