一、引言
电影,又被称为“第七艺术”
,如今已经发展成为一种具有独特魅力和艺术效果的特殊
艺术效果。
英文电影片名的翻译也引起越来越多的关注。
虽然英文电影片名的翻译常被认为
属于跨文化交际,
但它也拥有自身明显的特点,
不同于其他的翻译实践。
本文就从分析英文
电影片名翻译的特点着手,举例介绍英文电影片名翻译的标准及翻译的常见方法。
二、英文电影片名翻译的特点
一部电影首先吸引观众的就是它的片名。
人们常说好的片名就是电影成功的一半,
因此
电影片名的翻译必定是具备与其他翻译实践不同的特点。
1.
信息传递性
信息传递性是英文电影片名翻译最重要的特点。电影片名一般要求简洁明了,但这并不妨碍它传递出电影的基本信息。通常观众可以通过片名来判断出该电影的类型,如《生死时速》(Speed),我们可以判断出它为动作片(action movie);《人鬼情未了》(Ghost)为情故事(love story);《冒牌天神》(Bruce Almighty)为喜剧电影(comedy);《沉默的羊》(Silence of the Lambs)为恐怖片(horror movie)等。更为重要的是,观众可以从片名中获知电影的些许基本内容和情节。如通过片名《律政俏佳人》(Legally Blond)我们可以得知这部影片的故事情节将围绕法律展开。又如《诺丁山情缘》(Netting Hill)告诉我们影片将讲述在伦敦诺丁山发生的一段浪漫的爱情故事。因此,英文电影片名翻译的信息传递性是英文电影吸引观众最重要的功能。
2.
文化特殊性
语言是文化的载体,翻译实践也与文化息息相关,英文电影片名的翻译尤为如此。无论电影是真实还是夸张的,它都是对生活的反映,电影片名也是这样,因此,英文电影片名的翻译也反映了文化的特殊性。英文片名通过各种各样的方式来表现文化的特殊性,如习语、俚语等的应用。
《第一滴血》(The First Blood)是一部著名的动作电影。越战复员士兵Rambo回家乡后处处受到当地治安官的压迫,为了生存,他不得不用自己的方式做出反抗。这部电影讲述的不是爱情或友情,也不是理解或宽恕。它讲述的是一个国家的耻辱和一位士兵的光荣。国家将人民送入地狱深渊,这位士兵拼死要保卫自己的尊严。在中国,这部电影被直译为《第一滴血》。汉语中它并没有任何特殊的含义,但在英语中“the first blood”指的是在第一场战斗中击败(beating the enemy in the first battle)。因为文化的特殊性,这个片名传达出无尽的深意。
3.
艺术审美性
电影有着优美的音效和画面,已经成为当代最受欢迎的艺术形式。电影具有浓厚的美学价值,这在电影的片名中就有体现。在翻译英文电影片名的时候,好的中文译名也能传递出美的信息,颇具艺术审美性。如《廊桥遗梦》(The Bridge Of Madison Country),“廊桥”自让指的是在电影中多次出现的桥,而“遗梦”对中国人来说意味着一去不复返、再也无法经历的美好回忆。这个译名深深打动了中国观众,让中国观众体会到电影所传达出的爱情的伤感。
三、英文电影片名翻译的标准
现在英文电影在中国越来越受欢迎,人们接触的英文原声电影也越来越多。英文电影片名的翻译也随着时代带的进步发生着明显的变化,直译的片名在减少,而为了满足市场需求以及为了观众能更好地理解,片名在翻译的过程中也被增补了很多信息。但是,像所有的翻译实践一样,英文电影片名的翻译也有必须遵循的标准,不能只为了吸引眼球而放弃一些翻译的原则。
1.反映电影的主题
英文电影片名翻译必须遵循原作,不能凭空想象,否则即使片名很吸引人也不能称之为好的翻译。比如,有人将The Thing You Do Into译为《挡不住的奇迹》,Eye for an Eye译为《逍遥法外》,Four Weddings and Funeral译为《你是我今生的新娘》
Ⅱ 高分 英语论文 电影
1.通常建议写一部电影,比较深入,资料相对好查一些,如果你想写两部电影除非是想进行对比,一般是中西对比比较多。5000字不算多,等你写完了,导师再改一下就剩不了多少了。据我所知,以电影题材写论文一般都归类在文化方向里,个人觉得比较好写,有兴趣就好,不然会很痛苦。
2。我是学英文文学的所以推荐你两部电影,喜福会,红字,因为有解读性所以可以随意选个角度写。
3。肖申克的救赎我很喜欢,建议你对照原版小说来写,可以从主题,写作手法,技巧入手。比如,除了大家熟知的信仰和希望以外,你个人还理解到了什么,发掘出了什么内容。可以分析一些社会问题,比如监狱的制度化可以使人恐惧抵抗,但最终却无法摆脱离不开监狱生活,无法融入正常社会。还可以分析人物,社会影响等等。
英语论文有个关键,就是你的thesis statement(主题)你的论文到底要说明一个什么结论。有了这大方向,你只要分开些观点,论据这里还包括引用,解释介绍一些概念,大体论文就出来了。总之,希望你享受这个难得的过程!may you success!

《Alexander》about it. ——《亚历山大大帝》观后感~
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!"
Ⅳ 高分急求关于外国电影的英语论文
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 一篇关于英语原版电影的论文
。
好了,就让我们在英国,看电影,学英语,找乐趣。
在语言环境中耳濡目染,才能真正“活学”,掌握语音、词汇、句型、思维和文化;在语言环境中入乡随俗,也才能真正“活用”,达到理解和表达、交流和沟通。但是中国人在跟电影学英语时,多数人走入只看不听,或只听不看;只泛不精,或只精不泛的误区,以致看了一些英文电影,但是听和说却没有本质的提高。
但是学好英语,又必须从听说入手。因为学习英语听说可以使英语不再是望而生畏、死气沉沉的学问,而成为妙趣横生、鲜活灵动的实践。但是学习听说不等于“习得听说”,美籍华人的英语好是因为具备了“习得听说”的必要条件:英语环境。但是我们没有条件,可以创造条件,比如看美国电影和情景喜剧,有意识地给自己营造出一种国外的英语环境强迫自己用耳朵接受英语,同时开口说英文,就能在轻松、愉快的氛围中“习得听说”。
英语听说包括语音、语调节奏、用词、句式、思维和文化六部分。首先,对于任何一门语言,语音是基础,它不仅包括单词的发音,还包括真实交际中词汇、习语的连读、失爆、弱化、浊化、重音、缩读等许多音变形式。至于语调节奏,则是地道流利表达英语的润滑剂,没有接触过地道的老外,没有和他们有过面对面的交谈,是很难感受到语调节奏在表达思想中的巨大作用和强大震撼力的。语言是文化的载体,用词和句式的正确与否直接体现了对异国文化了解的程度。可以说,达到前三者就达到了与美国人的形似,若是又学会了美国人的思维和文化,能够用美国文化思维则可达到神似的效果。这就是立体英语教育模式,电影则是最好的媒介。
做到语言、文化双丰收。1、融入原则:不要把自己看成旁观者,而要是当成局内人看待,要与角色同呼吸、共命运,产生场景感觉。2、突破原则:关键在于模仿,模仿不能离开背诵,熟练直到能脱口而出。3、扩展原则:首先要在词汇和句式层面上扩展;其次是在此基础上,“泛看”电影,电影题材可以不受很大限制,但每部影片都至少要看三遍以上。4、挖掘原则:此时不能仅限于看懂表面意思,而是要透过现象看本质,去挖掘语言背后深刻的文化内涵,变被动为主动,以此达到听说的最高境界。周宁人暑期看电影学地道英语身临其境的快感英语听说六要素影视学习四原则影视选材原则1、生活类影片:这是最好的语言素材,向大家推荐的书目有:初级???《情归巴黎》、中级???《阿甘正传》、《西雅图不眠夜》、《漂亮女人》、高级???《旅行冒险记》2、美国情景喜剧:代表作是七、八年前在电视上播出的那部《成长的烦恼》,当代最流行的有《森弗一家》、《朋友》等,更多内容可参看:《美国“情景喜剧”俚语百分百》。
Ⅵ 怎么去写一篇电影英语的论文呢,我想写一篇面纱,不知道从何入手

Ⅶ 英语电影研究性学习论文400
从教育学的角度来说, 多种学习方式,多感官的刺激能加深学生的对学习内容的印象,从而取得更好是学习效果. 从学生的角度来看,电影相对于传统教材来说更具吸引力,学生感兴趣,愿意去学,是进行学习关键的第一步. 如果学生乐于去模仿并与同学互动,学习效果自然是事半功倍的. 从英语电影本身角度出发,由于电影题材一般来自于真正的现实生活,学生观看时,一方面能更好地了解,模仿并学习地道的英语生活用语,另一方面也能从影片内容了解英语国家的风俗习惯和文华,这是语言学习必不可少的. 脱离语言生活背景而仅仅依靠生硬的语法单词是不可能学好一门外语的. 希望对你有用
Ⅷ 哪些电影可以拿来写英语论文
《冰雪奇缘》、暮光之城、贫民窟的百万富翁。其实具体要看你写什么方向,如果翻译方向,任何一个国外的电影都可以用来分析。
Ⅸ “看英文电影提高英语听力”的论文1000字
任何一种能力的培养和学习都是需要兴趣来支撑的。学习英语听说可以使英语不再枯燥无味,不再只是冷冰冰的单词和语法,而是一种生活的方式,一种快乐的实践。提高听说能力的最好方法就是把自己完全浸入英语的语言环境,在这里首推多看英文原版电影和电视剧。
美国好莱坞电影风靡全球,英文原声电影在我国随处可见,但大多数英语学习者对观看原声电影在英语学习中的策略及作用,存在诸多的疑虑。他们认为,看英语电影是“不务正业”的学习活动。通过观看原版电影,学习者可以更好地了解语言中的文化现象以及语言与文化之间的依存关系。比如,“Friends”以及“DesperateHousewives”等系列电影,备受许多成功英语学习者青睐。在观看过程中,我们不仅要注意学习鲜活的日常生活用语,学习“用英语说话”,而且要注意了解英语文化中特有的“喜怒哀乐”。这样,看电影并不只是一个简单的娱乐和消遣的过程,也是一个丰富英语语言文化知识、提高综合运用英语能力
那么我们都知道要想学好英语,应该先从听说入手。
英语听力基础差的学生,要注意选择自己喜欢的听力活动。比如,坚持看英语电影,就是提高听力的有效途径,因为电影图像中的视觉支持,使听力理解变得更为容易。在具备了基本听音能力之后,可以坚持听英语广播和英语讲座。这里,值得提醒的是,有效的听音过程包括复杂的学习活动。学习者除了注意模仿语音和语调之外,还应该学习和记忆听音材料中出现的新的语言知识,并注意区分正式口语、日常口语以及书面语的不同表达法。
由于电影都有完整的故事情节、优美动听的主题音乐,极具震撼力,与学生获取信息的渠道吻合,,因此合适的影片能给人带来美的享受,激发我们学习英语的兴趣。
语言就是环境的产物,所以大家在学习口语,特别是在练听力的时候,要不断地给自己映照出这种环境来。
看电影对学习英语最有帮助,世博外语的张峰校长表示,一定要看英文原版电影,不要看字幕,一直听下去,当你可以分清一句很长又被说的很快句子的单词个数的时候,就证明你的英文水平提高了
因为国内英语环境的缺乏造成国内英语学习者的口语学习困难,观看英文原版电影其实也是学英语的好途径.文章以风靡美国的情景喜剧《老友记》(Friends)为例,分别阐释了原版电影中的语音、句子与词汇、内容与题材以及文化和思维在英语口语学习中的提高作用。
然而,我们平常对于打招呼的话,习惯性的只有:How are you? How do you do? 两句,到底老外在现实生活里面是怎么说话的呢?看看美国电视剧收视神话《老友记》,里面6个年轻人天天和不同的人打招呼,整整10年了,都没有什么重复的话出现。里面大量的时髦日常用语,是大家学习美国口语挖掘不尽的宝藏。一句How you doing?换不同的语音语调,意思也马上随之改头换面。这样学习英语的过程将不再是suffering, 而是有所收获感到高兴的过程。
原版电英语句的随意性,不完整是它的主要特征。在英语学习过程中,我国的英语学习者接触的绝大部分是书面语体。而在英语影视剧中,口头体的语言材料是最重要的特征,具体表现为口语中流行的惯用表达方式、俚语以及相关的跨文化因素。
而在影视中,角色众多,根据剧情的要求,每个角色都有自身特有的语音、语调和语速,再加上连读、弱读等,这些与我们学习的英语听力材料相差甚远,故造成了难以看(听)懂英语原版影视的情况。
因此,看原版英语影视剧是练习英语听说的最好途径,影视剧通过声音与图像共同组成了完整的信息,将视觉刺激和听觉刺激有效地结合在一起,这是其它学习手段所不能达到的,同时还可以调动学习英语的兴趣,做到寓学于乐。
那么电影的作用在于:
1. 电影为语言的运用提供了更真实的情景,使用者更能领悟语言的意境。
近年来随着社会的不断发展,人们的文化生活丰富多彩。 人们对于文化的需求不断的上升。电影事业发展迅速,成为文化阵地的领头羊。往往一部电影的发行和放映,就引起一股社会的潮流和时尚。尤其是一些大片已经与人们的生活息息相关。一部大片的发行,人们争先恐后的观看。生怕走在时代的后面。中学生尤其如此。 大片无论从他的投资和制作都堪称为典范。其中的故事性强,情节曲折,语言考究并具有时代特色。除次之外,还有经过改编的经典文学巨著的影片,其包含的文化和历史可为文化的珠宝,永发光芒。从而使人们走进时间隧道,去遨游的最好去处。人们可以从中不断的汲取精神的营养。
电影中包含的语言及风俗习惯,以及历史事实是学生了解世界文化的窗口和主要手段。它可以最大程度的满足学生对于知识和文化的需求。电影中的人物特点,语言,行为举止的独特具有感染力。
然而,电影作为一种文化传播工具,提供了最好的语言情景,和最实用的语言.电影的对白配合上情景和人物的表情,不像我们课本上的文字那么枯燥,那么难以理解.如我们在观赏狮子王片段时,当辛巴和父亲一起在晨曦中眺望自己统治的辽阔疆域时,父亲讲到Look, Simba, everything the light touches is our kingdom…。那种唯美的画面和音乐不仅吸引了学生的注意力,也使学生很容易地理解了这句带有定语从句的复合句及他们所说的每一句话,更使他们充分感悟到了生命的价值和狮子王浓浓的父爱。而如果把这一段以书本的形式一字一句的交给学生是无法让他们体验到尊重生命的哲理的。我们还要花更多的时间使学生理解每一句话。这种学习语言的方式是机械的.常常是背了很多到用时还不能用的地道,也不能用的符合英语国家人的习惯。
就拿我国的国产影片来讲,近年来推出了不少脍炙人口,走向国际影坛的大片。电影《一个都不能少》“Not one less” ,《神话》, “The myth” 《英雄》 “Hero” 等电影都是用英语字幕,语言中渗透着浓厚的文化,但是从英语把他表现出来。而我们学生所运用的教材也有许多是汲取了电影的营养,使其丰满和具有时代气息。比如现行教材中许多材料都是围绕电影的话题来展开的。如高中第一册的第一单元 “GOOD FRIEND ” 中的阅读就是电影 “Cast away”就是例子。课文中以鲁宾逊的经历来引出话题,谈论如何认识到朋友的重要性及如何交朋友等。设想如果让学生欣赏该部影片,那么将更能吸引学生的学习兴趣。学生不但可以从中加深对于课文的理解,更能触发学生对于语言的认识和体验。
2. 电影作为一种视频文本所产生的吸引力是我们书本教材所无法比拟的。
这一点是勿庸质疑的。我们天天都在上课,每天都是一样的枯燥,如此学习的结果是可想而知的,厌倦听课,厌倦作业
看英文电影重要的是为我们提供了一种学习英语的方式,我想没有哪套课本能对让我们对学习英语产生诱惑力和影响力的,而电影却有。因为电影让英语“活”起来
其实,看外文电影学英语的方法在我国由来已久。在我国老一辈的旅美作家和学者中,大部分都有过看电影学英语的经历。如今,通过看电影学英语更成了成人英语教学的常用方法,像“新东方”等国内一些著名英语培训机构就专门开设了类似的培训课,通过观看经典电影来训练学员的英语口语能力。
看电影学英语,表面在看,原理在听,这种方法最大的好处就是可以锻炼听力。电影听力不像听磁带那样干巴巴的,观众可以通过故事发展的逻辑推理,感觉到台词的意思。另外,在词汇学习上,可以将词汇的用法做详尽的分析,挖掘词语的深层含义,对词汇有一个全方位的认识,而不仅仅停留在“就词论词”上。
另外,通过观看电影,观众可以更加了解西方文化,体会东西方价值观念的不同,将语言上升到真正意义上的交流,让英语真正“活”起来。
3电影中所使用的语言是纯正的,地道的,更是实用的。
众所周知,学习语言应通过对话进行。不同语言的会话结构差别不大,大部分可以从母语迁移过来。差别大的是参加和进行谈话的习俗,如怎样遵从本族语言国家人的说话方式和礼仪等。电影课可以形象直观的向学习者展示怎样通过会话实现语言的各种功能。使学习者不仅仅学到知识本身,更重要的是可以学到语言的使用背景,真正可以使用到正确的场合。
语音作为语言学习的一个重要组成,第二语言的语音系统既不是第一语言的,也不是目的语的。它与第二语言语法系统一样,是学习者自己的一套系统。影响语音习得的因素是多方面的,有的因素与学习者的母语无关,属于语言的普遍性;有的因素属于母语迁移;有的因素属于学习者的认识能力。学习者的困难不是新的语音或者母语中没有的语音,而是与母语相近的语音。如果不考虑目的语系统,只单纯根据本族语者的发音来纠正学生的发音,这样的教学方法有失全面。而通过原版的英文电影,可以有效补充靠中国英语老师来纠正发音的劣势。
电影中使用的语言都是最地道的,合乎英语国家人说话习惯的。学语言不光要学所谓的官方的正式的语言,还要充分理解贫民语言和文化,以及发展中的语言。而通过电影学生们不止能学习地道的英语,还能学习很多课本上见不到的俚语和俗语,了解不同民族的文化背景与习俗以及理解相同的句子在不同场合的意义。而电影正为我们的教材提供了这种条件和补充。因此,在英语教学中加入英文电影配音,使学生的英语学习兴趣,口头表达能力,语言认知能力都有了极大的提高。并通过对影视的了解和把握,可以从一个方面了解一个民族的文化,具备艺术素质,为学生理解现当代社会历史与其它门类的文化艺术,提供学习和探究的基础平台,是对现行外语教学方式有机的补充,为我们在国内也能习得流利地道的英语提供了一条捷径。
电影借助声音和图像,我们不仅易于理解真实的语言材料,而且能逐渐掌握英语为母语者说话的语言使用特点。日积月累,可帮助我们突破听力理解的大难关,同时对我们的口语也有促进作用。
然而,原版电影还有以下作用:
1、看英文原版电影有助于你将背下的句子用出去!因为当你发现电影里的人物脱口而出的竟是你能背下的句子时,那是很兴奋的!这也是在间接的卖弄你学的句子。要记住,卖弄一次比背十次的印象还要深!
2、英文原版电影是学发音的最好材料!我们平时练习发音都是一个单词一个单词的练,对着枯燥的口腔图纠正发音,似乎发音的练习如此的漫长而又枯燥!对初学者来说,有必要掌握基本的发音规则和规律,但是一旦你有了一定的词汇量和句子量后,就应该投入到实战中去,而英文的原版电影就是非常好的实战!
3、 看英文原版电影能激活你学的单词、句子和语法!因为孤立的背单词和语法是没有用的,必须把它用出去,而看英文原版电影则可以将你学的单词全部激活,变成你的口语单词,一个单词一旦变成你的口语单词以后,那这个单词已经达到最高境界了!
4、看英文电影是避免枯燥的最好的方式!天天苦行僧似的一个人在默默的背着单词和句子确实很辛苦,而且不见得成效有多大!但如果你去看英文电影,里面的情节会很快吸引你的注意力,在不经意的时候掌握了英语!
5、 看英文原版电影能让你学到最鲜活的词汇和表达!这是非常重要的,因为我们平常背的句子其实有很多都是已经过时的或者在口语中不常用的句子,但通过看英文原版电影我们可以学到很多最时髦、最鲜活的词汇和表达法,比如昨天我看老友记时学到了一个地道的表达法,叫Have you put your foot down?(你已经决定好了吗?)还好很多很多好的地道表达等着你去学习和吸收!
6、看英文电影给你提供了一个全英文环境!几乎所有学英语的中国人都在抱怨,我们学英语缺的是英语环境。其实不然,通过看英文电影你其实已经完全溶入在那个环境里了,你会想象你就在那个电影里面,扮演着某个角色,操着一口流利的英语在跟别人交谈,多么美妙,多么惬意!
Ⅹ 求一篇英语电影赏析论文。【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.
