At present, although the study about E-C film name translation has made some achievements, it still not keeps up with the development of the times and constantly changing levels of appreciation.

This paper attempts to study the translation of English movie names from the perspective of Skopos theory and reception aesthetics, and further discuss the methods of translating.

3. 国内外研究现状

In the field of film translation, due to the late beginning, translation theory is not mature. The research on film titles in China officially started in the 90#8217;s in the last century. In 1997 He YueMin wrote an article Problems and Countermeasures in the Current Western Film Translation, and then the study of film titles translation in China gradually increased. However, the methods and theories of film title translation are still vague, and most of the researches remain in the stage of empiricism. Professor Qian ShaoChang, the School of Journalism and Communication of Shanghai International Studies university can be said to be one of the outstanding experts. In his paper Film Translation-the Increasingly Important Field of Translation, he called on the translation community to pay attention to film translation. In this paper, he points out the importance of film translation, and analyzes the differences between the language of film and the language of literary works.

The early film translation began in the West, and now the accomplished experts in translation are mainly Western scholars, especially European researchers. In the 90#8217;s, the western film translation began to enter a golden Age and had a breakthrough development. In 1991, Luyken collaborated with four European film translation experts to publish O-vercoming Language Barriers in Television: Dubbing and Subtitling for the European Audience, the book analyzes the different translation modes of the language conversion in the film translation from a professional perspective, and enumerates a lot of data about quantity of translation works, preference of audience and so on. After 1995, with the rapid development, the related theoretical research obviously increased and Gottlieb can be said to be the most systematic scholar so far. From the perspective of linguistics, he studies the film translation in detail, studies how to translate film works, and also is insightful on the teaching of translation.
