Abstract
The film Farewell, My Concubine directed by Chen Kaige has won numerous awards and appreciation. It spans 53 years showing two actors’ friendship filled with fiery conflicts and tender reconciliations. The success of the film has also attracted people to the study of its subtitle translation. One of the focal points of people’s research is on the translation of culture-loaded words in this subtitle.
The thesis employs Nida’s Functional Equivalence theory as its theoretical foundation. Attempts will be made to analyze the translation of culture-loaded words in the subtitle with Peking Opera features so as to summarize some applicable translation strategies. It firstly makes a brief review of studies on subtitle translation and culture-loaded words; then it introduces the Functional Equivalence theory. After that, it adopts Farewell, My Concubine as a case study to explore the translation strategies of culture-loaded words with Peking Opera features. Finally it summarizes four translation strategies—literal translation, free translation, condensed translation and addition, which are applied to the translation of the culture-loaded words in the subtitle of Farewell, My Concubine.
Key words: subtitle translation, culture-loaded words, Functional Equivalence theory, Farewell, My Concubine
