45 APPENDIX I APPENDIX II 3 Luan van PART I: INTRODUCTION 1. Rationale After nearly four years of studying at Hai Phong Management and Technology University of Foreign Studies, I feel more and more confident with my skills and knowledge of English that I have been taught here. Since the first year I have made certain progresses in improving my English thanks to my teachers. The graduation is coming soon and up to now I feel no regret choosing English as my major.
My love for English has grown up and flourished gradually. Of all subjects, I have a fancy for translation the most and I’m not the only one. My class often has discussion time in which we find out translation mistakes, give comments and suggestions, and then do the corrections with the guidance of teachers. I myself feel enthusiastic and inspired by such discussions.
Movie is not only an art but also merchandise. The Vietnamese market is becoming more and more open, and there are an increasing number of English films. The Vietnamese audiences have to understand the film titles before they watch the movies. Movie titles express the main idea to the audience to draw their attention.
This requires the translation of movie titles to be precise and reflect the economic values. After the analysis of the traits and functions of film names, this paper studied the translation skills and the translation tenets of the English film name. The film name is a necessary part of the movie. A beautiful title can make an influence on adding the finishing touch, appealing to audience and giving the viewers enough food for the soul.
Movie titles often not only reflect the main idea of movies but also attract the audience with concise and unfamiliar form. With the frequent interaction between the Vietnamese and foreign cultures, an increasing number of English movies have entered into the market of Vietnamese. The film name is the first thing through which the viewers can know about the movie, so the translation of English film titles is very important. A perfect translation of the title can express the main thought of the movie and attract the audience’s desire of going to the movie.
This paper will introduce the translation tenets and strategies of English film title based on 4 Luan van an analysis of the traits and roles of English movie names. Translating such simple film title is seemed as an easy thing, but it is not easy to translate well. Being graceful in style and affluent in emotion could not only appeal to the audience but also be pregnant, and it makes people think deep as an art. Hence, when translating the movie name, firstly we should get the main idea and form of the movie, and then we have to know the principles, master the skills and see through the expression.
However, academic atmosphere is very dreary and disputes are always united in the movie title translation research. Many academic articles only handle film names translation in detailed skills, for instance, literal translation, free translation and transliteration. However, they ignore the influences of culture and its versatility in film name translation. Moreover, there is also a lack in the exploration in the translation process and valuation.
Thus, this thesis probes into the movie title translation, and puts in more strategies on top of the movie title translation theories. And it’s ultimate purpose is bringing normalization and diversification into the English film names translation. Culture aspects in language of movie titles draw my attention the most. Hence, my graduation paper: “A study on translation of movie titles from English into Vietnamese” is carried to reflect the similarities and differences between the source and target languages of movie titles.
Aims of the study Bound by time limitation, I would like to focus mainly on English-Vietnamese movie title translation and it aims at: + Providing major principles which are helpful in movie title translation + Giving several strategies to students who are doing part -time job involved film subtitle translation or might be prospective movie translators + Analyzing a large number of translated titles of movies which have been released and shown in Vietnam to draw experience in translation 3. Scope of the study 5 Luan van Translation is an extremely large of study. However, due to the limit of time and knowledge, it could not be covered all matters about translation. As mentioned above, in this paper, only translation of movie titles from English into Vietnamese are presented and analyzed.
Particularly, techniques of movie title translation are carefully demonstrated. For the purposes of demonstrating the techniques of movie title translation, my study focuses on: - Introducing theoretical background of movie translation, movie titles and techniques of movie title translation. - Giving clear and detailed techniques of translating movie titles so as to find out the effective ways in translation. - Indicating the findings and implication, and proposing some suggestions.
- Providing some movie titles to discuss. Methods of the study In order to fulfill the study, the following methods are fully employed: Firstly, internet accessing is necessary because it supplies such a large source of information as well as images that all of data relating to the subject of my paper graduation are easily found out. Secondly, data collection from related books and documents also have an important role in the research process. Thirdly, discussion with my supervisor and friends works effectively in the research completion.
At last, contrast and comparison method is also put into practice to finish this paper graduation. Design of the study My graduation paper consists of three main parts: • Part I: Introduction, which indicates the rationale, the aims, the scope, the methods and the design of the study. • Part II: Development mentions the main content of the study and it is further divided into three chapters as below: 6 Luan van › Chapter I: Theoretical background includes the definitions, function and types of translation, movie and movie title. › Chapter II: Characteristics of english movie titles and principles of english movie title translation › Chapter III: Suggested the type of Translation Strategies of English Movie Titles › Chapter IV: Preliminary results and analysis • Part III: Conclusion gives a brief summary of the study and suggestion for further study.
