An excellent title can play the role of adding the finishing touch, attracting audience and giving audience much food for thought. Movie titles are often pared to the door lintel of movies, as they not only reflect the central thought of movies but also attract the audience with brief and novel forms. The past two decades have witnessed vast development in movie translation. However, being a special and significant part of translation, movie translation is an area that is far from being explored. Few monographs at home and abroad have discussed this topic. It seems that no one has so far offered a systematic and feasible principle to pilot movie title translation. In this situation, this paper goes deep into many west movie title translations in recent years and refines some of the translations, summarizing and posing new principles, so that the movie title translation would not only be more standardized but also make a deep impression for the audience.Usually, movie titles are brief and short. Translating such brief movie title is just regarded as a piece of cake, but it is hard to translate well. Translation of being elegant in style and rich in sentiment could not only attract the audience but also be meaningful and thoughtprovoking as an art. Therefore, when translating the movie title, firstly we should get the central meaning and style of the movie, and then we must learn the principles, grasp the skills and fathom the wordings. However, academic atmosphere is very desolate and arguments are always uniform in the movie title translation research. Numerous academic articles just deal with movie titles translation in specific skills, such as literal translation, free translation and transliteration. However, they neglect the effects of culture and its versatility in movie title translation. Moreover, there is also a lack in the exploration in the translation process and evaluation. Thus, this paper probes into the movie title translation, and puts forward further new skills based on the basic translation theories, with the final purpose of bringing standardization and pluralism into the translation of movie titles.
