Based on Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension Theory Explores the Cross-cultural Adaptability of Chinese Translation of English Film Titles

The title of a film is a highly concise summary of the film and plays a leading role. Therefore, the translation of English film titles should strive to be concise and to the point and grasp the main idea of the film. In addition, it should also be credible and elegant. When we study the film, we cannot ignore the title of the film has the point function. With the continuous development of globalization, English films are widely spread all over the world, and the Chinese translation of their titles plays a crucial role in the promotion and acceptance of films. The research shows that there are differences in power distance, individualism and collectivism, uncertainty avoidance and other cultural dimensions between different regions, which reflect the cultural background and values of different regions. The weakness of this paper is that it cannot analyze all existing situations in terms of case studies. At the same time, the thesis puts forward some strategies to improve the cross-cultural adaptability of film title translation in order to promote the development of cross-cultural communication between different countries.
