一、引言
電影,又被稱為「第七藝術」
,如今已經發展成為一種具有獨特魅力和藝術效果的特殊
藝術效果。
英文電影片名的翻譯也引起越來越多的關注。
雖然英文電影片名的翻譯常被認為
屬於跨文化交際,
但它也擁有自身明顯的特點,
不同於其他的翻譯實踐。
本文就從分析英文
電影片名翻譯的特點著手,舉例介紹英文電影片名翻譯的標准及翻譯的常見方法。
二、英文電影片名翻譯的特點
一部電影首先吸引觀眾的就是它的片名。
人們常說好的片名就是電影成功的一半,
因此
電影片名的翻譯必定是具備與其他翻譯實踐不同的特點。
1.
信息傳遞性
信息傳遞性是英文電影片名翻譯最重要的特點。電影片名一般要求簡潔明了,但這並不妨礙它傳遞出電影的基本信息。通常觀眾可以通過片名來判斷出該電影的類型,如《生死時速》(Speed),我們可以判斷出它為動作片(action movie);《人鬼情未了》(Ghost)為情故事(love story);《冒牌天神》(Bruce Almighty)為喜劇電影(comedy);《沉默的羊》(Silence of the Lambs)為恐怖片(horror movie)等。更為重要的是,觀眾可以從片名中獲知電影的些許基本內容和情節。如通過片名《律政俏佳人》(Legally Blond)我們可以得知這部影片的故事情節將圍繞法律展開。又如《諾丁山情緣》(Netting Hill)告訴我們影片將講述在倫敦諾丁山發生的一段浪漫的愛情故事。因此,英文電影片名翻譯的信息傳遞性是英文電影吸引觀眾最重要的功能。
2.
文化特殊性
語言是文化的載體,翻譯實踐也與文化息息相關,英文電影片名的翻譯尤為如此。無論電影是真實還是誇張的,它都是對生活的反映,電影片名也是這樣,因此,英文電影片名的翻譯也反映了文化的特殊性。英文片名通過各種各樣的方式來表現文化的特殊性,如習語、俚語等的應用。
《第一滴血》(The First Blood)是一部著名的動作電影。越戰復員士兵Rambo回家鄉後處處受到當地治安官的壓迫,為了生存,他不得不用自己的方式做出反抗。這部電影講述的不是愛情或友情,也不是理解或寬恕。它講述的是一個國家的恥辱和一位士兵的光榮。國家將人民送入地獄深淵,這位士兵拚死要保衛自己的尊嚴。在中國,這部電影被直譯為《第一滴血》。漢語中它並沒有任何特殊的含義,但在英語中「the first blood」指的是在第一場戰斗中擊敗(beating the enemy in the first battle)。因為文化的特殊性,這個片名傳達出無盡的深意。
3.
藝術審美性
電影有著優美的音效和畫面,已經成為當代最受歡迎的藝術形式。電影具有濃厚的美學價值,這在電影的片名中就有體現。在翻譯英文電影片名的時候,好的中文譯名也能傳遞出美的信息,頗具藝術審美性。如《廊橋遺夢》(The Bridge Of Madison Country),「廊橋」自讓指的是在電影中多次出現的橋,而「遺夢」對中國人來說意味著一去不復返、再也無法經歷的美好回憶。這個譯名深深打動了中國觀眾,讓中國觀眾體會到電影所傳達出的愛情的傷感。
三、英文電影片名翻譯的標准
現在英文電影在中國越來越受歡迎,人們接觸的英文原聲電影也越來越多。英文電影片名的翻譯也隨著時代帶的進步發生著明顯的變化,直譯的片名在減少,而為了滿足市場需求以及為了觀眾能更好地理解,片名在翻譯的過程中也被增補了很多信息。但是,像所有的翻譯實踐一樣,英文電影片名的翻譯也有必須遵循的標准,不能只為了吸引眼球而放棄一些翻譯的原則。
1.反映電影的主題
英文電影片名翻譯必須遵循原作,不能憑空想像,否則即使片名很吸引人也不能稱之為好的翻譯。比如,有人將The Thing You Do Into譯為《擋不住的奇跡》,Eye for an Eye譯為《逍遙法外》,Four Weddings and Funeral譯為《你是我今生的新娘》
Ⅱ 高分 英語論文 電影
1.通常建議寫一部電影,比較深入,資料相對好查一些,如果你想寫兩部電影除非是想進行對比,一般是中西對比比較多。5000字不算多,等你寫完了,導師再改一下就剩不了多少了。據我所知,以電影題材寫論文一般都歸類在文化方向里,個人覺得比較好寫,有興趣就好,不然會很痛苦。
2。我是學英文文學的所以推薦你兩部電影,喜福會,紅字,因為有解讀性所以可以隨意選個角度寫。
3。肖申克的救贖我很喜歡,建議你對照原版小說來寫,可以從主題,寫作手法,技巧入手。比如,除了大家熟知的信仰和希望以外,你個人還理解到了什麼,發掘出了什麼內容。可以分析一些社會問題,比如監獄的制度化可以使人恐懼抵抗,但最終卻無法擺脫離不開監獄生活,無法融入正常社會。還可以分析人物,社會影響等等。
英語論文有個關鍵,就是你的thesis statement(主題)你的論文到底要說明一個什麼結論。有了這大方向,你只要分開些觀點,論據這里還包括引用,解釋介紹一些概念,大體論文就出來了。總之,希望你享受這個難得的過程!may you success!

《Alexander》about it. ——《亞歷山大大帝》觀後感~
I am a student, study more onerous task to all immersed in a pile, thick book of other aspects of knowledge about nature also less. In order to broaden their horizons, when choosing courses, I usually choose some human science classes. Remember when a friend gave high school had a Greek mythology to me, that is, from the book, I see a god of the mind and I've also is the traditional Chinese religion in the image of god is completely different. Greek mythology of the gods of the people who have thoughts, feelings, and the joy of the people, sadness, jealous, have fear. But god is the Oriental religions in, or even omnipotent, is ordinary mortals cannot be achieved. But because those books and the names of the gods and long, sometimes make me confused, I eventually failed to read the book. Myth, of course, is part of the culture of the classical Greek, in order to understand with many Greek mythology, when he saw the ancient Greek culture, when elective without hesitation, I chose. Fortunately, I choose. Through a study of the semester, although no Greek culture and in-depth understanding of ancient Greece, but the experienced periods have probably know for certain period of development, the typical of the political system, cultural phenomenon also have certain knowledge, I think is good harvest. Of course, the teacher said to the final paper to write, I still feel a bit silly, I don't know what good, because although much knowledge of ancient Greece, but to really understand some of the problems one write an essay, I think my knowledge is not enough. Just recently saw "Alexander of Alexander's life", interest, but to know before Alexander, so you have to find some information, and some of the facts is mentioned below from these materials, not do annotation.
Video introction
Alexander the great was about the history of the world's first emperor Alexander conquered Eurasian of life. Alexander BC, in Macedonian king is 3.56 Philip ii, once studied Aristotle, 19 years old father was assassinated succession to the throne. He first, then pacify defeated the Persian empire, began 22,000 miles of conquest. 25 years old, Alexander had established including the Nile valley, dry peninsula and the Ins civilization across Europe in Asia, but the Alexander under age 33 because inexplicable disease die suddenly.
In this film, Alexander the great friend (Anthony Hopkins ptolemaic general) through memory, the emperor's will as life. Forty years ago, Hollywood has taken Alexander, but only about his hero. The new version, full of adventure and dream from the childhood, thrust his parents fight, then the sad for him by Aristotle and mapping lesson, graally to his invicible paving the way to conquer. This is the life of the vivid characterization.
The director of Alexander oliver stone said: "this is probably the biggest challenges in my life, hope can make it much objective." In order to do this, stone is hard. Rafer specially invited professor of the university of Oxford robin Ryan fox as the historical consultant. The fox is research of Alexander the great expert, once wrote biographies of Alexander, sales of more than 100 million copies. He accepted the invitation gladly, but a condition, is to them in the emperor's elite cavalry, and must stand in the front of the team, he "fight" for Alexander dream.
Stone has invited the ancient linguists, tries to make some of the lines to real effect. Language Fox watched the movie said after school and historical scholars should get there watching for discussion.
However, if the movie history book, it obviously lost as the value of the movie. "Alexander" in the context of history, the plot details on again. Films, Alexander's father told him: a woman more dangerous than men, as the king had hurt his lover, Mother kept his place before him, said his father. Without these details on the history, but the parents struggle was mentioned. Alexander, such as wedding night, the bride almost killed him, although not in the historical lee, but the bride was defeated by Alexander, daughter of darius, the plot and have confidence. Therefore, the writer's creation that is reasonable, no violation of history.In addition, the recent history of the new viewpoint about Alexander historiography, more and more absorbed some characters, appear very full.
A pursuit of dreams
Above has been mentioned in the film, and the understanding of Alexander before, so he is the first impression from the movie, here is to put the matter what facts. Admittedly, the film Alexander some arbitrary, even some cold, but sometimes think conversely, if no such a domineering, pride and resolute, he can become a history of Chinese strategists hoyywood hills? However, I want to discuss and not his military command art, but his pursuit of dreams and in the process which reflects personality, it is exciting and amazing. If someone was born, this man is the conqueror Alexander. As a great soldier son, Alexander had been instilled many heroism and high adventure stories. He can reel off in the early lead, read Homer in the shelter of personality and lyrics. Whether in the house or in the battlefield, he had a pillow YiLiYaTe "with him to sleep. He led his Greek soldiers and defeated the Persian empire, strong and continue to crusade. Along the way, he and his army met with human body is similar, but what we know, hair, it is a monkey. They rode on large and those of the east, the elephant who had never seen defeated the monster. Of course, though, Alexander the great personality charm, many of his soldiers to fight for Alexander has faith, but for a long time, the journey of hard driving, the warriors who still alive and tired, they obviously very to return to his country and so on the roster appeared, the army also appeared a mutiny. One section, I is very impressive, when he determined to continue to advance in India, unwilling to part soldiers, one of the important general said a touching, they finally wish is only in them to the soldiers who died superempirical essence and meet them before the meeting, the wife and children. Alexander said: "yes, you're right, I, Ross, negligence. Should I send you back as soon as possible, all pensions from me to send, respected and wealthy, love, in the rest of you will be his wife and son of a hero, finally died peacefully. But your dreams, Ross, you, the simple, early in your child's life with Persia, with gold and silver in your pockets stuffed with you when you love, because it can destroy everything in the life of a man!" , kelat rose that touching words some long, here I will not lead to, but when I'm hearing his words, I was really touched by it and feel a mortal ordinary and true feelings, in my opinion, that he was not too. Then, Alexander the retort that enthusiasm, yes, Alexander and their pursuit of something different, he pursues the sun rays, the pursuit of great, so the life of ease, money and enjoy attractive for him, he defeated the Persian empire, Babylon the great wealth, costly court life and can't baffel him to continue the expedition.
Just after the movie's feelings, then some literatures on Alexander's expedition, some of the objective a detailed analysis. According to the data, Alexander expedition, he himself has said the Persian, and had ravaged sanctuary in Greece was assassinated Philip ii, the purpose is the expedition, revenge against the Persian stronger. But the specific analysis, find the reason for the expedition is just an excuse. Firstly, the assassination of the killer waves Philip ii, paulson and no relationship with the Persian empire. O Nebuchadnezzar, paulson wave is a young aristocrat, he and Philip ii, the generals have personal in Dallas. Whatever wave, is of Nebuchadnezzar's, but he SiYuan what action, really have no direct connection with the Persian empire. Alexander said he was assassinated in Persia, Philip ii, historical records on no. Secondly, from the assassination of Nebuchadnezzar, wave, paulson to Philip ii, so the action in advance of horses prepared assassination scene, it shows that he really otherwise conspiracy. Third, revenge is only according to Greek long-standing extremely extensive mental state, as to stimulate the greeks into the slogan of the Persian.
Anyway, I think it is worth affirmation, Alexander the great dream, in order to realize its can not wealth, enjoy thier rance and courage to explore the unknown.
2 Tim HeFei and about Alexander, RON
Alexander the great films, especially sexual orientation private life a lot dispute. In fact, he HeFei and ask the relationship, and I was at the movies process has been very puzzled, why history so great a character is gay? Believe that many people have the same doubts.However, when I accidentally see teacher site of excellent assignments exploring ancient Greek young titled "love", I feel like a life. For the love of the young this phenomenon from different aspects. First is the ancient greeks aesthetic idea. Ancient Greece is extremely attractive appearance and the worship of strong and handsome figure, in this respect, they don't care, as long as the male sex "golden hair, jiongjiongweishen eyes, ruddy complexion, strong muscle, broad shoulders." He must be able to attract others' eyes and love. Beautiful young completely meet greeks aesthetic standards and, in some cases, the young beauty of man can be less attractive girl. Secondly, the ancient Greek culture condition is the root of young love. The ancient culture and modern culture and the fundamental difference between the ancients to men, women, children in the man's eyes is only the mother and the family business managers. The ancient greeks regarded the spirit of man is the center of activities, they think that the girl was not what ecation, this kind of situation is caused by a woman because ecation condition, the cultural resources, and the spirit world of ancient Greek men spirit grades. This kind of social status can appear a situation: men and women together only flirting with youth, and can be found in the heart. They are likely to rationally between the dialogue lies not only in the young, beautiful, because they have more abundant knowledge and talent. Therefore, in ancient Greece appeared a modern difficult to understand customs: every man have attracted a boy or a young man, and in close daily life as his tutor, guardian and friends, also encouraged him to study all noble character. If any man have deceived than his little boy, will be considered not perform ties of a man, No one can get to a young man of friendship is a shame for. This kind of social and cultural customs in promoting cultural and ideological progress in a little deeper, to help build social moral standards have contribution. We can not surprised to find that most firmly hold the view that homosexuality is the most important and the most influential cultural elite of ancient Greece. At this point, even the spirit of love, Socrates also no exception.
In addition, a professor of the university of Oxford robin Ryan fox in the privacy of Alexander is explained. He said, Alexander has three wives, and his mistress, four grow up together, carry the HeFei partners have homosexual relations, and the one who Persian royal eunuch very close. The fox said, many of these ancient historians recorded the plot, compared with these records could be understatement. While these sparked controversy, because of different age has different view. Ancient Greece, polygamy and homosexuality is normal, Christian Europe, strict monogamy was established, homosexuality was considered evil, so, if we use today's morality to request more than 2,000 years ago, the ancients are serious distortion.
Want to use words to summarize the feeling after see: "bravely to pursue their dreams!"

A Brief History of Film
History of film has been dominated by the discovery and testing of the paradoxes inherent in the medium itself. Film uses machines to record images of life; it combines still photographs to give the illusion of continuous motion; it seems to present life itself, but it also offers impossible unrealities approached only in dreams.
The motion picture was developed in the 1890s from the union of still PHOTOGRAPHY, which records physical reality, with the persistence-of-vision toy, which made drawn figures appear to move. Four major film traditions have developed since then: fictional narrative film, which tells stories about people with whom an audience can identify because their world looks familiar; nonfictional documentary film, which focuses on the real world either to instruct or to reveal some sort of truth about it; animated film, which makes drawn or sculpted figures look as if they are moving and speaking; and experimental film, which exploits film's ability to create a purely abstract, nonrealistic world unlike any previously seen.
Film is considered the youngest art form and has inherited much from the older and more traditional arts. Like the novel, it can tell stories; like the drama, it can portray conflict between live characters; like painting, it composes in space with light, color, shade, shape, and texture; like music, it moves in time according to principles of rhythm and tone; like dance, it presents the movement of figures in space and is often underscored by music; and like photography, it presents a two-dimensional rendering of what appears to be three-dimensional reality, using perspective, depth, and shading.
Film, however, is one of the few arts that is both spatial and temporal, intentionally manipulating both space and time. This synthesis has given rise to two conflicting theories about film and its historical development. Some theorists, such as S. M. EISENSTEIN and Rudolf Arnheim, have argued that film must take the path of the other modern arts and concentrate not on telling stories or representing reality but on investigating time and space in a pure and consciously abstract way. Others, such as Andre Bazin and Siegfried KRACAUER, maintain that film must fully and carefully develop its connection with nature so that it can portray human events as excitingly and revealingly as possible.
Because of his fame, his success at publicizing his activities, and his habit of patenting machines before actually inventing them, Thomas EDISON received most of the credit for having invented the motion picture; as early as 1887, he patented a motion picture camera, but this could not proce images. In reality, many inventors contributed to the development of moving pictures.
Perhaps the first important contribution was the series of motion photographs made by Eadweard MUYBRIDGE between 1872 and 1877. Hired by the governor of California, Leland Stanford, to capture on film the movement of a racehorse, Muybridge tied a series of wires across the track and connected each one to the shutter of a still camera. The running horse tripped the wires and exposed a series of still photographs, which Muybridge then mounted on a stroboscopic disk and projected with a magic lantern to reproce an image of the horse in motion. Muybridge shot hundreds of such studies and went on to lecture in Europe, where his work intrigued the French scientist E. J. MAREY. Marey devised a means of shooting motion photographs with what he called a photographic gun.
Edison became interested in the possibilities of motion photography after hearing Muybridge lecture in West Orange, N.J. Edison's motion picture experiments, under the direction of William Kennedy Laurie Dickson, began in 1888 with an attempt to record the photographs on wax cylinders similar to those used to make the original phonograph recordings. Dickson made a major breakthrough when he decided to use George EASTMAN's celluloid film instead. Celluloid was tough but supple and could be manufactured in long rolls, making it an excellent medium for motion photography, which required great lengths of film. Between 1891 and 1895, Dickson shot many 15-second films using the Edison camera, or Kinetograph, but Edison decided against projecting the films for audiences--in part because the visual results were inadequate and in part because he felt that motion pictures would have little public appeal. Instead, Edison marketed an electrically driven peep-hole viewing machine (the Kinetoscope) that displayed the marvels recorded to one viewer at a time.
Edison thought so little of the Kinetoscope that he failed to extend his patent rights to England and Europe, an oversight that allowed two Frenchmen, Louis and Auguste LUMIERE, to manufacture a more portable camera and a functional projector, the Cinematographe, based on Edison's machine. The movie era might be said to have begun officially on Dec. 28, 1895, when the Lumieres presented a program of brief motion pictures to a paying audience in the basement of a Paris cafe. English and German inventors also copied and improved upon the Edison machines, as did many other experimenters in the United States. By the end of the 19th century vast numbers of people in both Europe and America had been exposed to some form of motion pictures.
The earliest films presented 15- to 60-second glimpses of real scenes recorded outdoors (workmen, trains, fire engines, boats, parades, soldiers) or of staged theatrical performances shot indoors. These two early tendencies--to record life as it is and to dramatize life for artistic effect--can be viewed as the two dominant paths of film history.
Georges MELIES was the most important of the early theatrical filmmakers. A magician by trade, Melies, in such films as A Trip to the Moon (1902), showed how the cinema could perform the most amazing magic tricks of all: simply by stopping the camera, adding something to the scene or removing something from it, and then starting the camera again, he made things seem to appear and disappear. Early English and French filmmakers such as Cecil Hepworth, James Williamson, and Ferdinand Zecca also discovered how rhythmic movement (the chase) and rhythmic editing could make cinema's treatment of time and space more exciting.
Ⅳ 一篇關於英語原版電影的論文
。
好了,就讓我們在英國,看電影,學英語,找樂趣。
在語言環境中耳濡目染,才能真正「活學」,掌握語音、詞彙、句型、思維和文化;在語言環境中入鄉隨俗,也才能真正「活用」,達到理解和表達、交流和溝通。但是中國人在跟電影學英語時,多數人走入只看不聽,或只聽不看;只泛不精,或只精不泛的誤區,以致看了一些英文電影,但是聽和說卻沒有本質的提高。
但是學好英語,又必須從聽說入手。因為學習英語聽說可以使英語不再是望而生畏、死氣沉沉的學問,而成為妙趣橫生、鮮活靈動的實踐。但是學習聽說不等於「習得聽說」,美籍華人的英語好是因為具備了「習得聽說」的必要條件:英語環境。但是我們沒有條件,可以創造條件,比如看美國電影和情景喜劇,有意識地給自己營造出一種國外的英語環境強迫自己用耳朵接受英語,同時開口說英文,就能在輕松、愉快的氛圍中「習得聽說」。
英語聽說包括語音、語調節奏、用詞、句式、思維和文化六部分。首先,對於任何一門語言,語音是基礎,它不僅包括單詞的發音,還包括真實交際中詞彙、習語的連讀、失爆、弱化、濁化、重音、縮讀等許多音變形式。至於語調節奏,則是地道流利表達英語的潤滑劑,沒有接觸過地道的老外,沒有和他們有過面對面的交談,是很難感受到語調節奏在表達思想中的巨大作用和強大震撼力的。語言是文化的載體,用詞和句式的正確與否直接體現了對異國文化了解的程度。可以說,達到前三者就達到了與美國人的形似,若是又學會了美國人的思維和文化,能夠用美國文化思維則可達到神似的效果。這就是立體英語教育模式,電影則是最好的媒介。
做到語言、文化雙豐收。1、融入原則:不要把自己看成旁觀者,而要是當成局內人看待,要與角色同呼吸、共命運,產生場景感覺。2、突破原則:關鍵在於模仿,模仿不能離開背誦,熟練直到能脫口而出。3、擴展原則:首先要在詞彙和句式層面上擴展;其次是在此基礎上,「泛看」電影,電影題材可以不受很大限制,但每部影片都至少要看三遍以上。4、挖掘原則:此時不能僅限於看懂表面意思,而是要透過現象看本質,去挖掘語言背後深刻的文化內涵,變被動為主動,以此達到聽說的最高境界。周寧人暑期看電影學地道英語身臨其境的快感英語聽說六要素影視學習四原則影視選材原則1、生活類影片:這是最好的語言素材,向大家推薦的書目有:初級???《情歸巴黎》、中級???《阿甘正傳》、《西雅圖不眠夜》、《漂亮女人》、高級???《旅行冒險記》2、美國情景喜劇:代表作是七、八年前在電視上播出的那部《成長的煩惱》,當代最流行的有《森弗一家》、《朋友》等,更多內容可參看:《美國「情景喜劇」俚語百分百》。

從教育學的角度來說, 多種學習方式,多感官的刺激能加深學生的對學習內容的印象,從而取得更好是學習效果. 從學生的角度來看,電影相對於傳統教材來說更具吸引力,學生感興趣,願意去學,是進行學習關鍵的第一步. 如果學生樂於去模仿並與同學互動,學習效果自然是事半功倍的. 從英語電影本身角度出發,由於電影題材一般來自於真正的現實生活,學生觀看時,一方面能更好地了解,模仿並學習地道的英語生活用語,另一方面也能從影片內容了解英語國家的風俗習慣和文華,這是語言學習必不可少的. 脫離語言生活背景而僅僅依靠生硬的語法單詞是不可能學好一門外語的. 希望對你有用
Ⅷ 哪些電影可以拿來寫英語論文
《冰雪奇緣》、暮光之城、貧民窟的百萬富翁。其實具體要看你寫什麼方向,如果翻譯方向,任何一個國外的電影都可以用來分析。
Ⅸ 「看英文電影提高英語聽力」的論文1000字
任何一種能力的培養和學習都是需要興趣來支撐的。學習英語聽說可以使英語不再枯燥無味,不再只是冷冰冰的單詞和語法,而是一種生活的方式,一種快樂的實踐。提高聽說能力的最好方法就是把自己完全浸入英語的語言環境,在這里首推多看英文原版電影和電視劇。
美國好萊塢電影風靡全球,英文原聲電影在我國隨處可見,但大多數英語學習者對觀看原聲電影在英語學習中的策略及作用,存在諸多的疑慮。他們認為,看英語電影是「不務正業」的學習活動。通過觀看原版電影,學習者可以更好地了解語言中的文化現象以及語言與文化之間的依存關系。比如,「Friends」以及「DesperateHousewives」等系列電影,備受許多成功英語學習者青睞。在觀看過程中,我們不僅要注意學習鮮活的日常生活用語,學習「用英語說話」,而且要注意了解英語文化中特有的「喜怒哀樂」。這樣,看電影並不只是一個簡單的娛樂和消遣的過程,也是一個豐富英語語言文化知識、提高綜合運用英語能力
那麼我們都知道要想學好英語,應該先從聽說入手。
英語聽力基礎差的學生,要注意選擇自己喜歡的聽力活動。比如,堅持看英語電影,就是提高聽力的有效途徑,因為電影圖像中的視覺支持,使聽力理解變得更為容易。在具備了基本聽音能力之後,可以堅持聽英語廣播和英語講座。這里,值得提醒的是,有效的聽音過程包括復雜的學習活動。學習者除了注意模仿語音和語調之外,還應該學習和記憶聽音材料中出現的新的語言知識,並注意區分正式口語、日常口語以及書面語的不同表達法。
由於電影都有完整的故事情節、優美動聽的主題音樂,極具震撼力,與學生獲取信息的渠道吻合,,因此合適的影片能給人帶來美的享受,激發我們學習英語的興趣。
語言就是環境的產物,所以大家在學習口語,特別是在練聽力的時候,要不斷地給自己映照出這種環境來。
看電影對學習英語最有幫助,世博外語的張峰校長表示,一定要看英文原版電影,不要看字幕,一直聽下去,當你可以分清一句很長又被說的很快句子的單詞個數的時候,就證明你的英文水平提高了
因為國內英語環境的缺乏造成國內英語學習者的口語學習困難,觀看英文原版電影其實也是學英語的好途徑.文章以風靡美國的情景喜劇《老友記》(Friends)為例,分別闡釋了原版電影中的語音、句子與詞彙、內容與題材以及文化和思維在英語口語學習中的提高作用。
然而,我們平常對於打招呼的話,習慣性的只有:How are you? How do you do? 兩句,到底老外在現實生活裡面是怎麼說話的呢?看看美國電視劇收視神話《老友記》,裡面6個年輕人天天和不同的人打招呼,整整10年了,都沒有什麼重復的話出現。裡面大量的時髦日常用語,是大家學習美國口語挖掘不盡的寶藏。一句How you doing?換不同的語音語調,意思也馬上隨之改頭換面。這樣學習英語的過程將不再是suffering, 而是有所收獲感到高興的過程。
原版電英語句的隨意性,不完整是它的主要特徵。在英語學習過程中,我國的英語學習者接觸的絕大部分是書面語體。而在英語影視劇中,口頭體的語言材料是最重要的特徵,具體表現為口語中流行的慣用表達方式、俚語以及相關的跨文化因素。
而在影視中,角色眾多,根據劇情的要求,每個角色都有自身特有的語音、語調和語速,再加上連讀、弱讀等,這些與我們學習的英語聽力材料相差甚遠,故造成了難以看(聽)懂英語原版影視的情況。
因此,看原版英語影視劇是練習英語聽說的最好途徑,影視劇通過聲音與圖像共同組成了完整的信息,將視覺刺激和聽覺刺激有效地結合在一起,這是其它學習手段所不能達到的,同時還可以調動學習英語的興趣,做到寓學於樂。
那麼電影的作用在於:
1. 電影為語言的運用提供了更真實的情景,使用者更能領悟語言的意境。
近年來隨著社會的不斷發展,人們的文化生活豐富多彩。 人們對於文化的需求不斷的上升。電影事業發展迅速,成為文化陣地的領頭羊。往往一部電影的發行和放映,就引起一股社會的潮流和時尚。尤其是一些大片已經與人們的生活息息相關。一部大片的發行,人們爭先恐後的觀看。生怕走在時代的後面。中學生尤其如此。 大片無論從他的投資和製作都堪稱為典範。其中的故事性強,情節曲折,語言考究並具有時代特色。除次之外,還有經過改編的經典文學巨著的影片,其包含的文化和歷史可為文化的珠寶,永發光芒。從而使人們走進時間隧道,去遨遊的最好去處。人們可以從中不斷的汲取精神的營養。
電影中包含的語言及風俗習慣,以及歷史事實是學生了解世界文化的窗口和主要手段。它可以最大程度的滿足學生對於知識和文化的需求。電影中的人物特點,語言,行為舉止的獨特具有感染力。
然而,電影作為一種文化傳播工具,提供了最好的語言情景,和最實用的語言.電影的對白配合上情景和人物的表情,不像我們課本上的文字那麼枯燥,那麼難以理解.如我們在觀賞獅子王片段時,當辛巴和父親一起在晨曦中眺望自己統治的遼闊疆域時,父親講到Look, Simba, everything the light touches is our kingdom…。那種唯美的畫面和音樂不僅吸引了學生的注意力,也使學生很容易地理解了這句帶有定語從句的復合句及他們所說的每一句話,更使他們充分感悟到了生命的價值和獅子王濃濃的父愛。而如果把這一段以書本的形式一字一句的交給學生是無法讓他們體驗到尊重生命的哲理的。我們還要花更多的時間使學生理解每一句話。這種學習語言的方式是機械的.常常是背了很多到用時還不能用的地道,也不能用的符合英語國家人的習慣。
就拿我國的國產影片來講,近年來推出了不少膾炙人口,走向國際影壇的大片。電影《一個都不能少》「Not one less」 ,《神話》, 「The myth」 《英雄》 「Hero」 等電影都是用英語字幕,語言中滲透著濃厚的文化,但是從英語把他表現出來。而我們學生所運用的教材也有許多是汲取了電影的營養,使其豐滿和具有時代氣息。比如現行教材中許多材料都是圍繞電影的話題來展開的。如高中第一冊的第一單元 「GOOD FRIEND 」 中的閱讀就是電影 「Cast away」就是例子。課文中以魯賓遜的經歷來引出話題,談論如何認識到朋友的重要性及如何交朋友等。設想如果讓學生欣賞該部影片,那麼將更能吸引學生的學習興趣。學生不但可以從中加深對於課文的理解,更能觸發學生對於語言的認識和體驗。
2. 電影作為一種視頻文本所產生的吸引力是我們書本教材所無法比擬的。
這一點是勿庸質疑的。我們天天都在上課,每天都是一樣的枯燥,如此學習的結果是可想而知的,厭倦聽課,厭倦作業
看英文電影重要的是為我們提供了一種學習英語的方式,我想沒有哪套課本能對讓我們對學習英語產生誘惑力和影響力的,而電影卻有。因為電影讓英語「活」起來
其實,看外文電影學英語的方法在我國由來已久。在我國老一輩的旅美作家和學者中,大部分都有過看電影學英語的經歷。如今,通過看電影學英語更成了成人英語教學的常用方法,像「新東方」等國內一些著名英語培訓機構就專門開設了類似的培訓課,通過觀看經典電影來訓練學員的英語口語能力。
看電影學英語,表面在看,原理在聽,這種方法最大的好處就是可以鍛煉聽力。電影聽力不像聽磁帶那樣乾巴巴的,觀眾可以通過故事發展的邏輯推理,感覺到台詞的意思。另外,在詞彙學習上,可以將詞彙的用法做詳盡的分析,挖掘詞語的深層含義,對詞彙有一個全方位的認識,而不僅僅停留在「就詞論詞」上。
另外,通過觀看電影,觀眾可以更加了解西方文化,體會東西方價值觀念的不同,將語言上升到真正意義上的交流,讓英語真正「活」起來。
3電影中所使用的語言是純正的,地道的,更是實用的。
眾所周知,學習語言應通過對話進行。不同語言的會話結構差別不大,大部分可以從母語遷移過來。差別大的是參加和進行談話的習俗,如怎樣遵從本族語言國家人的說話方式和禮儀等。電影課可以形象直觀的向學習者展示怎樣通過會話實現語言的各種功能。使學習者不僅僅學到知識本身,更重要的是可以學到語言的使用背景,真正可以使用到正確的場合。
語音作為語言學習的一個重要組成,第二語言的語音系統既不是第一語言的,也不是目的語的。它與第二語言語法系統一樣,是學習者自己的一套系統。影響語音習得的因素是多方面的,有的因素與學習者的母語無關,屬於語言的普遍性;有的因素屬於母語遷移;有的因素屬於學習者的認識能力。學習者的困難不是新的語音或者母語中沒有的語音,而是與母語相近的語音。如果不考慮目的語系統,只單純根據本族語者的發音來糾正學生的發音,這樣的教學方法有失全面。而通過原版的英文電影,可以有效補充靠中國英語老師來糾正發音的劣勢。
電影中使用的語言都是最地道的,合乎英語國家人說話習慣的。學語言不光要學所謂的官方的正式的語言,還要充分理解貧民語言和文化,以及發展中的語言。而通過電影學生們不止能學習地道的英語,還能學習很多課本上見不到的俚語和俗語,了解不同民族的文化背景與習俗以及理解相同的句子在不同場合的意義。而電影正為我們的教材提供了這種條件和補充。因此,在英語教學中加入英文電影配音,使學生的英語學習興趣,口頭表達能力,語言認知能力都有了極大的提高。並通過對影視的了解和把握,可以從一個方面了解一個民族的文化,具備藝術素質,為學生理解現當代社會歷史與其它門類的文化藝術,提供學習和探究的基礎平台,是對現行外語教學方式有機的補充,為我們在國內也能習得流利地道的英語提供了一條捷徑。
電影藉助聲音和圖像,我們不僅易於理解真實的語言材料,而且能逐漸掌握英語為母語者說話的語言使用特點。日積月累,可幫助我們突破聽力理解的大難關,同時對我們的口語也有促進作用。
然而,原版電影還有以下作用:
1、看英文原版電影有助於你將背下的句子用出去!因為當你發現電影里的人物脫口而出的竟是你能背下的句子時,那是很興奮的!這也是在間接的賣弄你學的句子。要記住,賣弄一次比背十次的印象還要深!
2、英文原版電影是學發音的最好材料!我們平時練習發音都是一個單詞一個單詞的練,對著枯燥的口腔圖糾正發音,似乎發音的練習如此的漫長而又枯燥!對初學者來說,有必要掌握基本的發音規則和規律,但是一旦你有了一定的詞彙量和句子量後,就應該投入到實戰中去,而英文的原版電影就是非常好的實戰!
3、 看英文原版電影能激活你學的單詞、句子和語法!因為孤立的背單詞和語法是沒有用的,必須把它用出去,而看英文原版電影則可以將你學的單詞全部激活,變成你的口語單詞,一個單詞一旦變成你的口語單詞以後,那這個單詞已經達到最高境界了!
4、看英文電影是避免枯燥的最好的方式!天天苦行僧似的一個人在默默的背著單詞和句子確實很辛苦,而且不見得成效有多大!但如果你去看英文電影,裡面的情節會很快吸引你的注意力,在不經意的時候掌握了英語!
5、 看英文原版電影能讓你學到最鮮活的詞彙和表達!這是非常重要的,因為我們平常背的句子其實有很多都是已經過時的或者在口語中不常用的句子,但通過看英文原版電影我們可以學到很多最時髦、最鮮活的詞彙和表達法,比如昨天我看老友記時學到了一個地道的表達法,叫Have you put your foot down?(你已經決定好了嗎?)還好很多很多好的地道表達等著你去學習和吸收!
6、看英文電影給你提供了一個全英文環境!幾乎所有學英語的中國人都在抱怨,我們學英語缺的是英語環境。其實不然,通過看英文電影你其實已經完全溶入在那個環境里了,你會想像你就在那個電影裡面,扮演著某個角色,操著一口流利的英語在跟別人交談,多麼美妙,多麼愜意!
Ⅹ 求一篇英語電影賞析論文。【2012】
If you've seen any of Roland Emmerich's previous disaster titles, you probably know what you're in for with this one. That being said, I felt 2012 had better acting and a more exciting storyline than the others.
In order to enjoy this film, you have to ignore the ridiculously absurd premise about neutrinos and the sun catastrophically altering the earth's crust (forget about the Mayan prophecy, which is hardly mentioned). If you can overlook why the world is ending, this is actually an captivating film with some spectacular effects scenes. Yes, there are several perilous close calls that stretch the notion of "luck". Yes, the actors from all parts of the world become interconnected in what stretches the notion of "coincidence". No, it's not going to receive any best acting or screenplay nominations. Nevertheless, it's engaging.
Cusack is great as the everyman hero. Ejiofor grabs your attention as the young government scientist trying to prepare for the inevitable. Glover and Harrison are also effective in smaller roles: Glover as the resolute President, and Harrison as the wackjob conspiracy theorist who might not be so crazy after all. Many other characters are merely stereotypes (like the Russian) or one dimensional (like the wife), but let's be honest, it's not the characters that we're coming to see. If you are, you'll probably be disappointed.
2012 is not great but it entertains as a doomsday thriller.
