翻譯比較好的,印象裡面是屬於《IF only》這部電影,在國內翻譯為《如果能再愛一次》。
這部電影的原名只有簡答的兩個單詞「IF」和「only」,整個故事開頭就提及這段戀愛因為種種原因而分開,在各自後悔來襲時候一覺起來發現回到曾經,身邊還有曾經那個的他。電影中文翻譯直接把電影原名跟故事內容緊扣,明確且用強力的文字對比產生《如果能再愛一次》的名字,強烈的中英文名字對比讓人深刻記得這部電影。

⑶ 這些華語經典電影,名字翻譯成英文後連親媽都不認識了
電影,是無國界的。但是好的電影還需配上好的翻譯,方能讓不同語言的觀眾更好的理解電影所要表達的本意。這其中,電影名字的翻譯,便是首要考慮的。
以前,曾有過英文電影翻譯成中文,結果同一部電影在大陸、香港、台灣分別被翻譯成了不同的名字,比如大名鼎鼎的《The Shawshank Redemption》,在大陸被翻譯成《肖申克的救贖》,在台灣被翻譯成《刺激1995》,而在香港則被翻譯成了《月黑高飛》,大家覺得哪個名字更能體現電影的本意呢?

特洛伊電影英文簡介
這是內容簡介.
It is the year 1250 B.C. ring the late Bronze age. Two emerging nations begin to clash after Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her hu *** and Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnom to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. So they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy. With the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans. But they e to a s by Hector, Prince of Troy. The whole movie shows their battle struggles, and the foreshadowing of fate in this remake by Wolfgang Petersen of Homer's "The Iliad."
Trojan War
The Trojan War was a war waged, aording to legend, against the city of Troy in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), by the armies of the Achaeans, after Paris of Troy stole Helen from her hu *** and Menelaus, king of Sparta. The war is among the most important events in Greek mythology and was narrated in many works of Greek literature, of which the o most famous are the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer. The Iliad relates a part of the last year of the siege of Troy, and the Odyssey describes the journey home of Odysseus, one of the Achaean leaders. Other parts of the story were narrated in a cycle of epic poems, which has only survived in fragments. Episodes from the war provided material for Greek tragedy and other works of Greek literature, and Roman poets like Virgil and Ovid.
The war sprang from a quarrel beeen the goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, after the goddess Eris ("Strife") gave them a golden apple with the inscription "to the fairest" (sometimes known as the apple of Discord). The goddesses went to Paris, who judged that Aphrodite, as the "fairest", should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen, the most beautiful of all women, fall in love with Paris, who took her to Troy. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, and the brother of Helen's hu *** and Menelaus, led an expedition of Achaean troops to Troy and besieged the city for ten years. After the deaths of many heroes, including the Achaeans Achilles and Aias, or Ajax, and the Trojans Hector and Paris, the city fell to the ruse of the Trojan Horse. The Achaeans mercilessly slaughtered the Trojans and desecrated the temples, thus earning the gods' wrath. Few of the Achaeans returned to their homes and many founded colonies in distant shores. The Romans later traced their origin to Aeneas, one of the Trojans, who was said to have led the surviving Trojans to Italy.
Ancient Greeks believed that the Trojan War was a historical event. They believed that this war took place in the 13th or 12th century BC, and that Troy was located in the vicinity of the Dardanelles in what is now north-western Turkey. By modern times both the war and the city were widely believed to be non-historical. In 1870, however, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann excavated a site in this area which he believed to be the site of Troy, and at least some archaeologists agree. There remains no certain evidence that Homer's Troy ever existed, still less that any of the events of the Trojan War cycle ever took place. Many scholars would agree that there is a historical core to the tale, though this may simply mean that the Homeric stories are a fusion of various stories of sieges and expeditions by the Greeks of the Bronze Age or Mycenean period. Those who think that the stories of the Trojan War derive from a specific historical conflict usually date it to beeen 1300 BC and 1200 BC, usually preferring the dates given by Eratosthenes (1194 BC – 1184 BC) which roughly corresponds with the burning of Troy VIIa.
太坦尼克號的英文簡介
Titanic directed by James Cameron presents a fictional love story on the historical setting of the Titanic. The plot is simple, nonplicated, or not for those who love plots that ist and turn and keep you in suspense. The end of the movie can be figured out within minutes of the start of the film, but the love story is an interesting one, however. Kate Winslett is wonderful as Rose, an aristocratic young lady betrothed by Cal (Billy Zane). Early on the voyage Rose meets Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), a lower class artist on his way to America after winning his ticket aboard Titanic in a poker game. If he wants something, he goes and gets it unlike the upper class who are so concerned with their social worries. The o fall in love and the audience sees the sinking of the Titanic primarily through their eyes.
The movie begins in modern times with the exploration of the wreck by a group searching for treasures, that sunk with the Titanic, which has recently ourred. One of the survivors of the Titanic, Rose DeWitt Bukater, who had heard of the exploration of the wreck on television and is flown to the boat where the search is being led from to tell of what she remembers to help the search. She gets to telling her memory of the one and only voyage of the Titanic. With this, the scene shifts to Southhampton, Ireland where the Titanic set sail from on April 10, 1912 as all the passengers are boarding. After another s on the Irish coast Titanic went out to see on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic bound for New York. Historically the first few days of the voyage went by uneventful, but the fictional plot of the story is developed ring this time as Rose sees the hopeless entrapement of an engagement that she is in to the wealthy Cal Hockley and falls in love with third class passenger, Jack Dawson. Captain Smith alledgedly as shown in the movie was urged by the White Star Line Director to increase the speed of the ship so they would make the newspaper headlines and receive extra publicity by arriving in New York on Thursday night and not on Friday morning as planned. Smith then ordered the fateful decision going against his thirty-o years of experience to stretch the Titanic's legs out to full speed. The Titanic had reports that the waters in the Atlantic they were sailing in were full of icebergs, but they ignored these warnings and proceeded at full speed as shown in the movie. On April 15, 1912 at 11:39, an iceberg was sighted. They attempted to shut off the engines and turn the ship out of the path of the iceberg but there was not enough time and the ship hit the iceberg on the starboard side as depicted in the film. The portrayal of the many *** all holes in the side of the ship and not one large gash along the side is aurate. The crew of Titanic sent out distress calls and set off distress rockets as shown until 2:18 when the lights finally failed. The lights of the California were spotted six miles away but they failed to realize what was going on and did not respond to Titanic's many pleas for help. The California had tried earlier in the day to warn Titanic of the severe ice that had caused them to s their trip but Titanic had brushed them off causing the California to turn off its radio and leave the Titanic on its own. The first class women and children were the first as depicted to be put into the enty lifeboats that were on the ship. Overwhelmingly the third class passengers suffered the most amount of deaths of any class and the crew was hit hard in this tragedy too. The word of White Star Line employees and first class passengers was believed over that of second and third class passengers when authorities were trying to gain information of the sinking. Also, the metal that was used to build the Titanic has been found in recent years under conditions of severe cold, which were experienced the night Titanic sank to be extremely brittle. Overall, the basic plot is very aurate in its portayal of the events and the times at which these events took place on the Titanic.
Several years before, geologist Adrian Helmsley es across information that shows the world will e to an end in 2012. No announcement is made but the G8 countries begin to prepare for the event. Jack Curtis is a divorced and a less than suessful writer. While on a camping trip with his children in Yosemite, he meets Charlie Frost, who is preaching that the end of the world is at hand. A series of events leads Curtis to believe what Frost has told him and with his family, heads for China where the instrialized countries have been working on a response to the impending disaster

The minions is an interesting movie. It is about a lot of short creatures. They look for a master to serve. Interestingly, they look for villains instead of good people. Some of them only have one eye. They wear jumpers that are made of denim. Their eyes are very big and they look kind of cute. Sometimes they wear goggles. They don』t speak a human language. They have their own language. However, sometimes they speak a few English words. They like bananas. It seems like they only eat bananas. When they see bananas, they get very excited. In this movie, there was an event where some villains gathered. Some minions attended this event to look for a new master. One villain was Scarlet Overkill. She wears a big dress, and she has curvy, black hair. She challenged the audience to take the jewel from her. Many people jumped on the stage and tried to get the jewel, but they could not do it. One of them looked like a sumo wrestler. He was very tall and very heavy. Even he could not get the jewel. In the end, one of the minions held the jewel in its mouth, and then spit it out. I think the minions are very funny, cute, and *** art.

The story of the Titanic and the iceberg has grown into a legend of the sea. It took her discovery in 1985 to begin to find the truth behind the myth. One of the things that makes the Titanic so fascinating is that she represented the best of technology when she set sail on her ill-fated voyage in 1912, and it took the best of technology in the form of sonar, satellite tracking, and deep-dive technology to locate her grave 73 years later. In the early 1900's, waterborne transportation was the norm; today, satellites are taken for granted by our society. But we tend to fet the immense effort that these o technologies require to operate to their maximum potential. Until recently, the technology did not exist to locate, photograph, and explore this ship that rested o and a half miles down on the ocean floor.

⑼ 10大令人驚艷的外語電影譯名,總有一個戳中你
早就想寫這一篇關於外國電影名經典翻譯的文章了。優秀的翻譯之於原文及影片,就好像蔥花之於蔥油潑面那麼重要。你還別說,文字的魅力對人的影響就是那麼大,同一個意思,不同的表達方式,收獲的結果就可能天差地別。同理,電影的名字是影片劇情的概括與升華,起得不好,票房慘敗顆粒無收也是有的。以下片名翻譯按優秀程度遞減排列,當然,這只是我一家之見,不服……憋著。
1. 魂斷藍橋( Waterloo Bridge , 1940 年)
這是我心目中永遠的No.1,迄今為止,我再未見過比它更經典、更貼切的片名翻譯了!我第一次看《魂斷藍橋》是中央台的譯製片,當時不知道其英文名,看過影片後,覺得片名也就是恰如其分。後來得知原名是Waterloo Bridge,我立刻被驚艷到了!
首先,如果譯為《滑鐵盧橋》,從翻譯角度看,當然沒有錯,但會讓人以為這是一部戰爭片或關於拿破崙的歷史人物傳記,影院絕對會失去一大部分女性觀眾和情侶檔;在中國,這部在西方大放異彩的片子也很有可能夭折,而不會成為傳頌已久的愛情經典片。
其次,這個Bridge為什麼是藍橋而不是其他橋呢?藍橋取自於陝西民間傳說「藍橋相會」,講的是唐代秀才裴航沖破世俗偏見,不顧門第高低,不同流俗,執著追求績麻姑娘雲英(後來發現是仙女),通過不懈努力最終與之結成百年之好的故事。同樣是不門當戶對的愛情,藍橋相會以喜劇收尾,而影片中則以女主角在滑鐵盧橋上與列車相撞自殺身亡結束——魂斷藍橋,再貼切不過了。
最後,如果你講白話或者粵語,你就會知道,「魂斷藍」三個字的白話或粵語讀音與Waterloo的英文發音相近——這就是白話版的音譯啊,而且與劇情結合得如此渾然天成、天衣無縫!再沒有哪部電影名的翻譯能達到這樣的高度了。每次看到,我都想把膝蓋獻給那位不知名的譯者,為Ta的智慧與文采,以及對我持續而長久的啟迪和影響。
2. 她比煙花寂寞( Hilary and Jackie , 1998 年)
我知道這部影片完全是因為師太(亦舒)的同名小說《她比煙花寂寞》,應該說,電影片名借用了小說的名字,因為小說在1996年已經出版。片名已經完全脫離英文原名,純粹是電影主題的濃縮升華,然而十分准確,直擊靈魂。光看名字,就能猜出說的大概是什麼樣的故事,看影片前大約會准備好紙巾。
師太的小說寫的是一個電影明星生前燦爛輝煌,身後卻寂寞無比,去世時候連遺產都沒人接收;而她畢生所願不過是像普通人那樣結婚生子吵鬧而庸俗的過完一生。這個平凡無奇的心願,終究沒能實現。就像煙花,綻放時璀璨奪目,背後卻是無邊的黑與寂寞。電影與之同名,其實很有道理。主人公同樣是煙花般絢爛的一生,同樣生前風光無限,對愛卻始終求而不得。求而不得,人生至苦。
影片的其他譯名有狂戀大提琴、中斷的琴聲、希拉里和傑基、希拉莉和積琪琳。所謂沒有比較,就沒有傷害。這些譯名不算錯,但都不如煙花那樣意味雋永,餘音繞梁。
3. 蝴蝶夢( Rebecca , 1940 年)
《蝴蝶夢》原名《呂蓓卡》,呂蓓卡是影片中實質性的女主角——盡管一開篇她已然是個死人,但音容宛在,庄園里處處都是她的印跡。她的幽靈通過死忠女管家繼續控制著她的家、她的丈夫以及新任女主人,直至一切毀滅。對於新來的女主人,這段經歷就像一場斑斕而陰森的夢,醒來之後,只余追憶。
翻譯成蝴蝶夢當然比呂蓓卡更有魅力。對於初次接觸的觀眾而言,呂蓓卡只是一個女性的名字,除此之外,我們一無所知,且沒有浮想聯翩的慾望。蝴蝶夢,就算你不知道「庄生曉夢迷蝴蝶」,光從字面也能模糊的體驗到諸如凄美、幻滅、遺憾之類的感覺。這三個字的組合,於我而言,有著不可描述的、令人著迷的魔力。
4. 末路狂花( Thelma & Louise , 1991 年)
女性冒險片,這是我看到片名《末路狂花》的第一印象。影片講的是兩名在生活中循規蹈矩的失意女性——塞爾瑪與路易絲,周圍的男性沒一個好東西。某天,她們決定暫時擺脫平庸的現實,開車上路散心卻意外殺人,此後一發不可收拾,搶劫、恐嚇、射擊、飆車,從家庭主婦和餐廳女招待變成比男人更彪悍的存在。她們沖破藩籬、奔向自由的旅程,最終在科羅拉多大峽谷的懸崖上戛然而止。塞爾瑪和路易絲以年華、以生命為價,給予這個男權社會最後有力的一擊和嘲諷。
末路狂花,言簡意賅,暗含人物和結局,透著一往無前的孤勇和寧死不回的決絕。相比之下,「塞爾瑪與路易斯」、「上錯驚魂路」之類的譯名,不是平淡就是膚淺,簡直弱爆了。
5. 春風化雨( Dead Poets Society , 1989 年)
其實我很想把春風化雨排在第四,但因為末路狂花結尾太令人心痛和震撼,以至於覺得片名都帶著血色(果然是誰慘誰勝出么……),所以忍痛讓春風排在第五。Dead Poets Society原來譯為「死亡詩社」,乍一看我還以為是我最心水的懸疑恐怖片,看了之後才知道講的是一個老師通過言傳身教潛移默化,幫助禁錮在傳統守舊教條框框內的學生們解放思想、領悟自由與生命真諦的故事(裡面將將18歲的伊桑·霍克真是帥到憂傷)。
一直以來,外語片名的翻譯大部分都是大陸勝出(至少在以前是如此),香港譯名總是帶著濃厚的市井或江湖味,台灣的翻譯多是流於艷俗。然而在本片,台灣譯的「春風化雨」遠勝其他兩地,栩栩如生的提煉了影片主題和主角形象。對比香港譯為「暴雨驕陽」,還有「壯志驕陽」,港真,不知道是什麼鬼!
6. 綠野仙蹤( The Wizard of OZ , 1939 年)
這個奇幻故事稱得上家喻戶曉,很少有人不知道的。當年我看這個故事時還不懂英文呢,書名被譯為《奧茲國國王》,非常符合小孩子的審美情趣——小時候,大家不都愛聽王子公主國王王後之流的故事么。後來上大學,才看到書的電影版,立刻被「綠野仙蹤」這個名字秒到了。我相信很多人和我一樣,都被這個充滿美麗夢幻氣息的名字所吸引——這更像屬於大人的童話。綠野茫茫,仙蹤渺渺,帶著一絲中國特有的古典神話的飄逸,與西方的活潑明麗相得益彰,令人感覺深刻而鮮明。
其他譯名有「奧茲國歷險記」,也蠻恰當,就是少了點令人遐想的餘地。
7. 翠提春曉( The Great Waltz , 1938 年)
其實我對這類影片興趣不大。如果打出的片名是「偉大的圓舞曲」,我大概不會去看。但是,譯成「翠提春曉」,就太漂亮了!片名畫面感超強,尤其當我看到影片中長畫卷般的仙境景色時更覺得這四個字美麗:
·維也納森林中,天色將明,晨曦初露,滿目蒼翠,霞光透過枝葉射進密林,馬蹄聲敲著路面,發出優美、緩慢的「得、得、得」三拍節奏。
·朦朧晨霧中,羊群緩緩走過草地,牧羊人在牧笛上吹奏出樸素單純而又悠揚舒緩的音調。
·維也納河畔,作曲家施特勞斯所愛之人不忍破壞其家庭獨自乘船離開,輪船遠去,倩影消失在遠方,施特勞斯煢煢孑立,而粼粼碧波的岸邊是一對對幸福的情侶。
說實話,這種有婦之夫才子與紅顏才女相識恨晚相戀,原配欲大度退出成全,然而才(小)女(三)良心發現,浪(渣)子(男)回歸家庭的故事——如果不是有那麼多流芳百世的作品加持,也就是碗狗血——當然,本片的碗比較華麗。
盡管如此,我仍幸慶因為片名而去觀影——那首《當我們年輕時》,猝不及防就讓當時的我遭到了一萬點的心靈暴擊:當我們還年輕,在美妙的五月早晨,你曾說:你愛我,當我們還年輕。
五月的早晨,像朝露、像夕陽、像最珍貴的青春,美好卻易逝,唯有愛可以永不磨滅。
8. 亂世佳人( Gone with the wind , 1940 年)
說來慚愧,直到上高中我才拜讀了赫赫有名的《飄》,上大學才看到根據書改編的電影《亂世佳人》。一般來說,如果先讀了原著,後面再看根據其拍出的電影或電視劇,總會覺得後者不如前者——文字留給讀者的腦補空間遠遠超過具體的影像。你在看書時,你的腦海里會形成你所希望的書中的主人公的形象,書里描述的一切細節,也會帶有你根深蒂固的個人風格。但是《亂世佳人》完全沒有輸給原作,因為費雯·麗和克拉克·蓋博正是我心目中的郝思嘉和白瑞特,尤其是費雯·麗的眼睛和氣質,和書里描寫的一模一樣:「帽上長長的翠綠色飄帶映襯著她那亮綠靈動的雙眸……她是降落人間的精靈——純潔又邪惡的迷人精靈。」這大概得歸因於演員超群的演技。
Gone with the wind的中文書名譯為《飄》,電影名譯為《亂世佳人》,都非常棒。書是經典名著,書名要言簡意賅,又要具備意味深長、耐人尋味的特點。一個「飄」字道盡了英文原名和書的精髓。在大型戰爭面前,個人的命運就如同被風刮下的落葉,背井離鄉,流落四方,但最終會回到堅實的大地上。影片要賣座,就得盡可能吸引不同口味的觀眾,雅俗共賞。在艷俗的「佳人」前面放個「亂世」,立刻有了沉重和悲壯感,並且也概括了影片主要內容,真是極好的(甄嬛附體…)。相比之下,直譯為《隨風而逝》就顯得中庸且不知所雲了。
9. 廊橋遺夢( The Bridge of Madison County , 1994 年)
The Bridge ofMadison County譯為「廊橋遺夢」充分體現了我國文化的博大精深。一開始,我也不知道為啥將「麥迪遜橋」翻譯成「廊橋」,直到我看到影片中的橋——有頂的橋,可不就是中國的廊橋么——有房檐的橋。當然,麥迪遜的橋要比咱們精雕細刻的廊橋遜多了。「遺夢」用來形容纏綿悱惻而不能圓滿的愛情再合適不過了。廊橋與遺夢的組合絕不僅是故事發生之地與故事結局的簡單概括,它所包含的深意.....你懂的。
10. 人鬼情未了( Ghost , 1990 年)
與前面神作相比,其實《人鬼情未了》這個翻譯並不是那麼出彩,但是奈何隊友太坑爹啊——其他的譯名有《幽靈》以及《把妹把到鬼》——差點讓我笑出八塊腹肌。尤其是想到影片講述的是一個凄美深情的人鬼愛情時,配上這么個二貨的片名,真是很有反差萌啊~~
其他的佳作還有 風月俏佳人( PrettyWoman )、聞香識女人( Scentof a Woman )、月色撩人( Moonstruck )、深閨疑雲( Suspicion )、壯志凌雲( Top Gum )、出水芙蓉( Bath Beauty )、紅菱艷( The Red Shoes )等 。但於我而言,感觸都沒有前10個那麼多,就不寫啦。
這些影片最新的,距今也快有20年,感覺那時的翻譯者對作品不止於「准確」這一標准,他們把電影吃透,力求做到信、達、雅,帶給觀眾藝術般的體驗。如今不知是我看電影看少了,還是翻譯水準下降,總之,再沒有見過令我眼前一亮且怦然心動的片名了(惆悵臉)。
