The Terminal of Happiness
The Terminal is a sweet and delicate comedy which makes you hold your breath and smiles with tears. It always can bring big laughs, but it never seems to make an effort for them. The movie is Spielberg?s tale of an almost childlike innocent and initially impresses as an extraordinary gamble for mainstream American filmmakers because Spielberg were to make a movie in 2004 where there is no sex, no violence and with a plot so homespun. However, it?s a film of quie tly effective performances.
The Terminal is supposedly based on the true story of an Iranian man who camped out at an airport in Paris. In this film airport is changed to the JFK International Airport and the protagonist is a visitor named Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) from a fictitious small Eastern European country that was taken over in a coup while he was airborne. Therefore his passport and visa are worthless, because his country no longer exists, he cannot go forward or go back. In other words, he is only free to remain in the International Arrivals Lounge, forbidden to step foot on American soil. Although in the real world, Viktor would be declared a political refugee and all sorts of U.S. and international authorities would become involved in his case.
Dixon, the customs and immigrations official, goes by the rules, but he has no great love of the rules. Sometimes the rules are cruel, but he takes no joy in the cruelty. At first, Dixon wants Navorski spontaneously out of the terminal because Viktor?s si tuation is an exception. Actually Dixon's plan is to pass Navorski on to another jurisdiction such as FBI and NYPD which will take the matter out of his hands if he leaves the airport. But Viktor has no guile, no hidden motives, and no suspicion of others. He wants to access to America through the legal system, so he refuses to break the law. Later Dixon offers him political asylum. "Are you afraid of
returning to your country?" Unexpectedly he is determinate to say "Not afraid," He is unwilling to betray to his homeland even just lie. At the end, he seems to become a permanent resident of the terminal.
In the terminal, Viktor shows remarkable ingenuity in making it a habitable place and learning English, at the same time, impresses the terminal staff with his generosity and indomitable spirit. Viktor helps the food deliver man to woo an attractive immigration officer; makes friends with an East Indian caretaker, who waxes a floor to make people slip for laughs; wins a great reputation through help a Russian get pills to save his father by lying to the customer official but still abbey the regulation. Be touched by Viktor, the staff assists him when he falls for an exceptionally pretty flight attendant (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who is trapped in a hopeless affair with a slick married man who somehow meets her in the departure lounge without a ticket.
There are several parts unsatisfied.
At the beginning, Spielberg shows his racial discrimination on Chinese travelers. As a big director, he shouldn?t show his outl ook on some sensitive topic which may make a bad effect on international relationship. The film as a whole offers a sense of closure, but two subplots are left frustratingly unresolved. What?s the way to make up the leak of the Custom?s system? Why the flight attendant can?t have a happy ending? Then there are the product placements, and they are all over the place. Audients recently complained about the same kind of commercialism, but it's worse here. Burger King, Sbarro, Borders, Starbucks. Nearly every kind of establishment to have a foothold in an airport gets plenty of screen time. Of course, with all of the fast food Viktor eats, one has to wonder whether Morgan Spurlock will suddenly show up with his Super Size Me cameras. Although it becomes increasingly sentimental and whimsical in its final act with a climax that's so saccharine and movie-ish, unfortunately, it's almost harder to swallow than the film's relentless, shameless product placement.
Yet for all its faults, "The Terminal" could turn out to be 2004?s triumphant piece of summer counter-programming: a gentle alternative to noisy kid-oriented
action flicks, raucous comedies and the agitprop of "Fahrenheit 9/11." There is humanity in its humor that reminds you of sequences in Chaplin or Keaton where comedy and sadness find a fragile balance.
About freedom
JFK International Airport is a microcosm of American society, customs agents are redeemable bureaucrats, and foreign travelers are resourceful innocents. Spielberg gives some quick, weak stabs at political topicality. “when he rushed to the snowy New York City, all airport staff celebrates for his unwavering will to fulfill his father?s dream, not for American freedom in orally or so-called democratic.”(Zhu Xubin)
About ordinary
“The Terminal is not a big-scene movie with a heroic protagonist worshiped by the publics. There is only ordinary person with a warm-heart to help others. The film manipulates an active life attitude------Never give up and keep optimistic------through such a living-lov ing ordinary people.” (Gu Li 61-65)
About destiny
“Amelia mentioned that Napoleon gives Josephine a necklace as wedding present with the word …destiny? on its back. Destiny might is held in everyone?s hand, but sometimes it?s not like that. We can?t control, change, and choose just like Amelia finally chooses to stay with her troublesome love. …Destiny? is a complicated philosophy, so the film has not an all-satisfied ending.”(Guo Shilei，Zhang Nannan096--097)
About waiting
Waiting is a kind of belief. After long time?s waiting, Viktor fulfills his father?s will; sees the peace of his country; accesses to America; waits for the opportunity to go home. But happiness hasn?t the final terminal, so we should wait with aspiration.
I like to use the conversation between Viktor and Amelia to end my paper.
—I have to go.
—I have to stay.
—Story of my life.
—Me too.
We are all travelers of this world.

经典英文电影赏析分析
曾经和ing《经典英文电影赏析》由10个章节组成。每一章节包括电影背景、故事简介、主要演员阵容及导演介绍、精彩部分节选、对影片的评论及注释五大部分。相信许多读者会在观赏优美电影或阅读《经典英文电影赏析》的过程中重温自己过去的电影体验，获得新的感悟和理解。 英汉对照是《经典英文电影赏析》的一大特点。《经典英文电影赏析》既有英文原文，也提供了中文翻译，有助于英语爱好者能更好地理解书中的内容。同时，《经典英文电影赏析》还提供了注释，为读者的自学提供了参考。 ·查看全部>> 前言 在“信息爆炸”的今天，随着国际文化交流的不断深入和推进，英语作为世界通行语的优势越来越显示出她的“英语帝国”风貌。一方面中国正逐步地同世界接轨，日益频繁的国际交往，使国家和社会对大学生的英语综合应用能力尤其是听说技能提出了更高的要求。另一方面，目前全国大学英语教学改革正在各高校尝试并推广，基于计算机／网络+课堂教学的教学模式日渐普遍。 教育部2007年颁布了《大学英语课程教学要求》。为贯彻其原则和方针，遵循其提出的“加强听说能力，提倡自主型的个性化学习”要求，大学英语教学课时数在一定程度上进行了缩减，包括听力课课时。而全国大学英语四、六级考试在这一改革的背景下进行了很大程度的调整，加强了应用能力的考查，听力所占的比例也由原来的20％提高到了35％。大学英语教学也面临着新的挑战。 因此，如何在学时减少、对听说能力要求提高的情况下，加强对学生学习能力的训练，培养学生自主学习的新模式，也是大学教师应该探讨的新问题。 电影一直以来就是人类漫漫旅途中的精神伴侣。在电影中，人们可以获得心灵的安慰，得到情感的滋润，寻求生活的力量，体验人生的快乐。而英语电影不仅能把学习者带入到一个非常好的语境中培养语感，而且有利于学生熟悉国外的社会、文化、生活方式以及异国风情，为他们了解西方提供了一种影像解读的窗口。中国著名英语语言学教育专家刘润清曾说过，“电影是社会文化的浓缩，看一部电影胜似在国外生活一天”。 借此我们编写了《经典英文电影赏析》这部书。在对近几年英美国家上演的大片精挑细选的基础上，我们选择了既适合英语学习，又集知识性、趣味性、观赏性、时尚性、体验性为一体的10部电影。目的是通过提供真实的英语语言环境，让英语学习者和爱好者能直接了解英美人的思维方式、文化和生活习俗，锻炼和提高英语视、听、说、读、写、译的综合应用能力。这10部电影涉及不同的类型：爱情片、励志片、喜剧片、动作片、友情片、动画片等。

当幸福来敲门英文简介
当幸福来敲门英文简介 "The Pursuit of Happyness" -- the title comes from a misspelled schoolhouse mural -- has a lot on its mind but mostly this: If America is about the promise of bettering oneself, why does it have to be so freaking hard? In the movie, Jefferson's Declaration of Independence words about happiness kept recurring to Chris Gardner. Every day, Christ had to work hard from morning till night, but still could hardly make a living. Chris saw a bunch of suits, mostly male, pouring out of the Dean Witter Reynolds brokerage firm in downtown San Francisco. They all looked “happy,”“Why not me? “ Christ wondered. He did have an adorable boy, Christopher, but wife Linda was becoming a scarecrow of overworked anxiety. Finally, his wife left Christ because of life pressure, leaving him and her five-year-old son, Christopher. And naturally, Christ became a single father. With the failure of his business, Christ had no money to pay for the rent, so they were driven away from the flat. They became homeless. They slept in asylum, subway station public bathroom or anywhere as a temporary shelter. The destitution of life was absolutely depressing, but for his son’s future, for his own belief, Christ never gave up and he still strongly believed that happiness would come one day if he worked hard enough today. With his great efforts, Christ won a six-month internship at Dean Witter, but there was no pay at all. So on one hand, Christ had to work hard to make a living; on the other hand, he had to fight for his intern work, since only one of the twenty interns would succeed finally. Besides, he had to take good care of his son after day care. However, Christ made it with his amazing willpower. Christ was unfortunate, for he got a wife who was not understandable at all (though she has her own difficulties) and was in bad luck with his business. But he was very fortunate also, for he got a son who was very thoughtful and, I think, tough life experiences always make a great person.

河科大公选《经典英文电影欣赏》课程摘要
电影，也称映画（motion picture）:是由活动照相术幻灯放映术结合发展起来的一种现代艺术，是一门可以容纳文学、喜剧、摄影、绘画、音乐、舞蹈等多种艺术的综合艺术。 艺术界把电影称为是继文学、音乐、建筑、美术、雕塑、舞蹈之后的第七艺术。 西方电影经历了四个时期： 电影艺术萌发期（1895-1907）无声故事片创作时期（1908-1926） 有声故事片创作时期（1927-1945）电影艺术新发展时期（1945- ） （一）电影艺术萌发期 这一时期，存在着两种不同的摄影倾向;一种以卢米埃尔兄弟为代表，主要在现实中区捕捉生活现象，银幕上展现的就是人们身边的琐事；一种以梅里埃为代表，主要记载舞台上经过加工的虚构的生活图画。沿着这两种创作方式，发展呈后来的记录片和故事片两种片种。卢米埃尔兄弟的作品，均为纪实主义电影，银幕上展现的就是们身边的琐事。题材和内容大致可分为四个方面：劳动和工作的生活场景；家庭生活情趣的记录；政治、文化、新闻纪录；自然风光和街头实景。代表作品：《工厂的大门》《火车进站》《水浇园丁》《耶路撒冷教堂》《儿童吵架》《婴儿的早餐》。 1895年12月28日，卢米埃尔兄弟《火车进站》、《工厂大门》等标志着电影的诞生。 梅丽爱（1861-1938）对电影的贡献：1.把戏剧手法移植到电影中，完成了电影同戏剧首次“联姻”，丰富了电影表现力。2.自觉运用了人工布景，大摄影棚拍摄，重点虚构创造艺术效果。3.灵活运用停机拍摄，场面转换等拍摄技巧和方法。4.开创多种电影特技，如多次曝光、合成摄影、渐隐渐显、慢速摄影等。 （二）无声故事片创作时期： 这一时期的代表人物和电影流派包括：大卫·格里菲斯查理·卓别林德国表现主义电影法国印象主义电影超现实主义电影前苏联蒙太奇学派电影 大卫·格里菲斯:被誉为“现代电影观念的奠基者”。1.他将电影从依附于戏剧的形式中独立出来，采用文学观念进行创作，将电影从简单的记录层面提升到复杂点的叙事层面，使电影真正成为一门独立的艺术。2.他首创巨型片的先河，制作场面宏大，形式新颖，使用时空跳跃和蒙太奇对比手法，创造了世界电影史上著名的”最后一分钟营救发”，至今仍在电影创作中广泛使用。最著名的代表作品，包括：1915年《一个国家的诞生》（the birth of a nation）1916年的《党同伐异》（intolerance） 查理·卓别林：生平简介：英国电影演员，制片人，导演，不列颠帝国勋章佩戴者，1889年4月16日出生于伦敦，1977年12月25日卒于瑞士科西耶。代表作品：从1919年开始，卓别林独立制片，一生共拍摄80余部喜剧片，其中在电影史上著名的影片由《淘金记》《城市之光》《摩登时代》《大独裁者》《凡尔杜先生》《舞台生涯》等。创作特点：1.影片有着深刻而尖锐的现实主义批判精神，完全不同于以前的庸俗闹剧。2.卓别林的喜剧电影大都是带有悲剧色彩的喜剧，善于把一些对立的因素在艺术创作中有机的集合起来，这种对立关系的桥面处理发人深省，具有很强的艺术感染力，使悲喜交集达到高度的融合。3.卓别林用艺术夸张手法构成情节和人物动静的造型，构思巧、手法新，完全超脱了一般庸俗闹剧的旧模式，因而在创作上达到深刻的现实主义和卓越的浪漫主义想结合，从而使得卓别林的喜剧电影取得了很高的艺术成就。 德国表现主义电影：是20世纪一、二十年代在德国出现的把文学、戏剧、和绘画上的表现主义原则，运用于电影创作的电影流派，认为：“电影的画面应该像绘画作品一样”，创作者把本人的内心骚动，情绪外化于所免回的形象之中。创作特点：用荒诞离奇的手法，曲折而精确的反映出一战给德国人民带来的极度恐慌和惶惑的心情。银幕上呈现的是高度夸张、变形、主观化的世界。艺术特征:1.总体风格沉郁、灰暗、冷酷。2.内容倾向于黑暗题材的表现，人物往往具有象征含义。3.用变形、荒诞、失真、扭曲等手法反映现实。4.空间安排热衷舞

英文电影片名翻译
英文电影片名翻译之我见 [摘要] 电影是文化交流与传播的载体之一，翻译是不同文化间沟通的重要手段，促进民族文化的传承和传递。随着越来越多的英文电影进入国门，如何将英语影片片名译为能使观众理解的、接受的中文表述成为了当前翻译界的热点话题。本文通过分析英文电影片名的翻译特点，归纳出翻译的原则，对比不同的翻译方法在表达和理解上的异同。 [关键词] 英文电影片名翻译特色翻译方法 近年来，随着我国经济的快速发展，中西文化的交流日益频繁和深入，越来越多的外国电影被引进国门，极大地丰富和影响了我国国民的生活。电影作为一种文化载体，是在传承文化内涵，传递文化特色，是我们了解外国历史文化、人文精华的一个渠道。翻译作为不同语言文化之间的重要沟通手段，显然成为了非常重要的环节。 一、经典片名翻译鉴赏 电影片名即是电影的名片，寥寥数语凝聚的是整个作品的精髓，是令人颇费神思提炼的部分。好的译名是既能高度概括影片的主题内容，又能强烈激发观看欲望，能使影片锦上添花。以下是经典翻译片名例子： 1、《maid in manhattan》译为《曼哈顿灰姑娘》和《曼哈顿女佣》，影片讲述玛丽莎是最豪华的manhattan hotel的女服务员，英俊、温文尔雅的christopher hall是美国政坛中最有前途的响
当当的人物，两人的情感生活经历了地位和时间的考验，最终是灰姑娘娘变成了公主。格林童话中灰姑娘的故事已是中国人家喻户晓的童话，所以《曼哈顿灰姑娘》不仅比《曼哈顿女佣》易于理解和接受，又使原先非常普通的名字增添了一分色彩，更暗了片中女主人公的命运。 2、《the pursuit of happyness》译为《追赶幸福》和《当幸福来敲门》，影片源于真实故事改编，成功诠释出一位濒临破产、老婆离家的落魄业务员，如何刻苦耐劳的善尽单亲责任，奋发向上成为股市交易员，最后成为知名的金融投资家的励志故事。译为《当幸福来敲门》更能体现影片励志的主题和主人公对生活的追求和体验。 3、《gone with the wind》译为《乱世佳人》或《飘》，影片以美国南北战争为背景，讲述了在社会、历史的重大变迁的背景下，庄园主小姐郝思嘉在两个男人之间的爱情故事。《飘》简单的一个字，将郝思佳流离的一生，表现得淋漓尽致，把原名“随风而逝”的意境表达得完整贴切，更带领观众进入片中战乱纷飞的时代以及主人公对命运难以把握而无止无尽的痛苦和无奈之中。 二、片名翻译原则 1、展现文化特征 电影作为文化传承的载体，更多地是展现每个民族不同的文化底蕴、文化背景、生活方式等，展露民族特有的一面。翻译电影片名时要关注其所承载的文化积淀，更注意如何用巧妙的文字、言简

中国电影名的英文翻译 我有个同学北外毕业，专业英语十级，经常用英文写点十四行诗什么的，看电影坚持开原声关字幕的那种，立志要作中西方交流的桥梁。不过，我做了一个假设：即便是他，如果有一天，老外谈及中国电影，他也要大眼瞪小眼。比如下面这部国产名片，我敢打赌1块钱，他肯定译不出来：《Farewell My Concubine》（意思是：再见了，我的小老婆）。《Farewell My Concubine》可是《霸王别姬》的英文译名啊。 请看下面的这些译名：（以下英文为IMDB的正式译名， " -- " 后是其字面含义，括号内为该片原名） 《Be There or Be Square》--在那里或者是平等的（《不见不散》，云山雾罩的还是见了就快点散了吧） 《Seventeen Years》--十七年（故弄玄虚，《回家过年》） 《So Close to Paradise》--天堂如此之近（《扁担，姑娘》，译名比原名有意思，原名让人想起什么《辘轳，女人和狗》之类的东东， " 解不开的小疙瘩呀 " ） 《Ashes of Time》--时间的灰烬（《东邪西毒》，这个译名意味深长，无论你是东邪还是西毒，武功再高还不是最后都成了时间的灰烬？） 《All Men Are Brothers： Blood of the Leopard》--四海之内皆兄弟：豹子的血（《水浒传》，《水浒传》有个英文译名就是《四海之内皆兄弟》） 《Chinese Odyssey 1： Pandora's Box》--中国的奥德赛1：潘多拉宝盒（《大话西游之月光宝盒》，这个绝对是入乡随俗了，不过好象都挨不上边耶，葡萄） 《Chinese Odyssey 2： Cinderella， A》灰姑娘（《大话西游之仙履奇缘》，宝成了孙悟空，灰姑娘穿上了水晶鞋，天才啊！葡萄） 《Funeral of the Famous Star》--明星的葬礼（淡出鸟来，《大腕》） 《Treatment》--治疗（《刮痧》，如果美国法律这么认为就好了） 《Dream Factory》--梦工厂（《甲方乙方》，够NB的） 《Steel Meets Fire》--钢遇上了火（翻译遇上了鬼？《烈火金刚》） 《Third Sister Liu》--第三个姐姐刘（《刘三姐》，典型的不动脑筋） 《Steal Happiness》--偷喜（《没事偷着乐》，直接联想到了 " 偷欢 " ，以为是限制级的）《Red Firecracker， Green Firecracker》--红鞭炮，绿鞭炮（《炮打双灯》，儿童片？）《Breaking the Silence》--打破沉默（《漂亮妈妈》，译名直接，反观原名倒有卖弄风情之感） 《Emperor's Shadow》--帝国的阴影（《秦颂》，是说希特勒的？） 《In the Mood for Love》-- 在爱的情绪中（《花样年华》，恋爱中的译者） 《Woman-Demon-Human》--女人-恶魔-人类（《人鬼情》，失恋中的译者） 《From Beijing with Love》--从北京带着爱（到香港换不了菜，《国产007》） 《Fatal Decision》--重大选择（可惜FATAL有致命的意思，致命的抉择？《生死抉择》）《In the Heat of the Sun》--在炎热的太阳下（《阳光灿烂的日子》，原文的 " 阳光灿烂 " 可有寓意啊。译文让JEWAYS想起中学语文第几课来着--祥子拉着人力车在街上走） 《Keep Cool》--保持冷静（《有话好好说》，郁讵！） 《Far Far Place》--很远很远的地方（《在那遥远的地方》，想起LONG LONG AGO） 《Sixty Million Dollar Man》--六千万美圆的男人（《百变星君》，谈钱很俗耶） 《Flirting Scholar》--正在调情的学者（别人看《红楼梦》看到诗，你看到了屎？《唐伯虎点秋香》） 《Royal Tramp》--皇家流浪汉（《鹿鼎记》，为什么不译成 " 皇家马德里 " ？） 《Flowers of Shanghai》--上海之花（PG18？《海上花》）

An Analysis to Some Movies Linked With Disaster 英语0805班帅凌08050523 Disaster films based on the human catastrophe caused by the natural disasters. General rendering thrilling disaster, to stimulate the audience's fear, and some performance out of the way to disaster and defeat or avoid the disaster of wisdom, or to promote rescue and other non-rational religion.Their typical features are large casts and multiple plotlines, and focus on the characters' attempts to avert, escape, or cope with the aftermath of the disaster. One major character, several minor characters, and scores of extras typically die before the story is resolved. The disaster film genre revived, briefly, in the mid-1990s—perhaps because new special effects techniques made more spectacular disasters possible. The first film in this new trend was the 1996 Michael Crichton-penned film Twister, followed in the same year by Independence Day merged a science fiction alien invasion plot from the 1950s with disaster film conventions (most notably, from Earthquake). Also in 1997 the epic James Cameron film Titanic was released, which combined the disaster genre in the sinking of the ship and the romance genre with the relationship between the main characters. Disaster films have reappeared periodically in the 21st century. In 2003, The Core featured a disaster resulting from the "stalling" of Earth's
