Ⅰ.Introduction
The movie is an artistic figure for all tastes and it has been a cultural bridge among nations. In most movies, the titles firstly draw the audience's attention. The title, like the trademark of a production, is only made up of a few words, but it contains as much information as possible. Especially, the translations of foreign movie titles play a crucial role in helping people understand movies and foreign culture. The movie, as a commercial culture, is a sort of cultural consumption goods. The first thing that the consumer (the audience) touches is the movie title. Thus, how to translate the titles commendably and promote cultural exchange is an important issue that is worth exploring.
