1。 Introduction

Movie industry has become one of the biggest media in China, in the meantime, more and more foreign movies have been imported into China, Which become a vital part in people’s life。 Thus movie translation becomes the problem that we must solve, and the movies imported are translated quite well by the several studios, for example: Shanghai Film Dubbing Studio。 But for most of people especially foreign language learners like us。 Movie translation still lacks attention and research。 I found that the two main kinds of movie translation: dubbing and subtitling are closely related to the techniques I learned in the interpreting。 So I came up with the idea that movie translation can be used as the methods of learning interpreting。 I happen to be preparing for the test of advanced interpretation, so I can do the research not only according to the previous researches, but also through my own experiences。论文网

1。1 Background Information

1。1。1 The Development of Subtitling in China

The translation of movies generally includes two kinds: dubbing and subtitling。 The dubbing here doesn’t means the clip dubbing we usually do, but a new sound track for a whole movie。 That is to say, to change a foreign movie into a Chinese dubbed movie。 This kind of movies are agreeable for the people who cannot understand the foreign languages especially children and the old。 While subtitling refers to the movies with the original soundtracks but added the translated subtitles。 The majority of Chinese cannot use English fluently, so they have to watch the translated movies that are dubbed or subtitled。 And as people are becoming more and more educated and willing to admire the original version, more people prefer to watch the subtitled movies to the dubbed ones。 It seems that, we can get into touch with dubbing and subtitling every day but most of time we take them for granted and overlook them。 We seldom judge if the subtitles are good or not, let along subtitling by ourselves。 Thus, seldom do people pay attention to the educational importance of dubbing and subtitling especially on teaching interpreting and translation。

And up to now, there have been a certain number of researchers studies the movie translation and the methods of learning interpreting and translation separately。

1。1。2 Current State of Learning Interpreting

The field of interpreting, especially for the simultaneous interpretation, is always regarded as the very difficult part of English learning。 Thus the interpreters are always lack all over the world, especially in the big cities where always hold the big meetings。 So it is obvious that the learning of interpreting is extremely important, for the lack of the talents。
