Abstract As a new model for translation studies, eco-translatology attempts to describe and interpret the nature, process, standard and method of translation from an ecological perspective. The film as an artistic form with unique language expression has become one of the most popular mass arts, being treated as the seventh art after literature, music, dancing, opera, painting and sculpture. Film subtitle translation caters to the trend of cultural exchange and integration, which benefits audiences from perse cultural backgrounds. Considering the importance of subtitle translation, it is of high value for translators to fully understand the essence of cultural backgrounds conveyed by the films and then translate subtitles correctly. This thesis attempts to have a brief analysis on the register translation of the film The Pursuit of Happyness from the perspective of eco-translatology, with the focus on how the original language system is transplanted or reproduced in the target language system from linguistic, cultural, communicative dimensions.54862

1. Introduction 

Nowadays, as mankind marches into the new millennium, cultural globalization, persification and popularization have become an overwhelming trend as a distinct characteristic of the age. Movie industry, as one of the most acceptable cultural industries, has been an indispensable part in people’s daily lives. As a result, film subtitle translation has raised considerable concern, for it is a key point for people of different cultural backgrounds to understand the meaning conveyed by the foreign films. Unfortunately, owing to the existence of cultural gaps, mistranslation of film subtitles may often occur when translators ignore the cultural background or misunderstand the real meaning of the film. 源'自:751`!论~文'网www.751com.cn

The newly-put-forward theory of eco-translatology can be applied into the field of film subtitle translation so as to boost its development. Eco-translatology is a new model for translation studies mainly proposed by Chinese scholars like professor Hu Gengshen, who attempt to describe and analyze translation from an ecological perspective, taking the assumption as its conceptual foundation that translation could best be understood in terms of a harmonious eco-system. Professor Hu considers that to integrate and develop translation studies from the view of ecology will not only enrich the theory of translation studies, but also make it step into a new stage. People can get rid of the traditionally single translation studies and march into a more effective and accurate translation system. Although eco-translatology is still in the initial stage of its development, this multidisciplinary approach reflects the trend towards theoretical persification in translation studies and may mark a new point of departure for the discipline as a whole. Currently, eco-translatology is devoted to taking relevant research from the perspective of linguistics to explore the general and integrated way of translation studies and then constitutes an organic whole of translation ecosystem. As an organic component of eco-translatology, register has been studied in the field of translation research, which can provide us with a specification on describing some super-language factors like context and subjective intention to help us realize “the transformation of meaning” successfully.  从生态翻译学视角论电影《当幸福来敲门》的语域翻译:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_59114.html
