Report On The Translation Of Imagine That…The History Of Film Rewritten

The book,IMAGINE THAT...THE HISTORY OF FILM REWRITTEN,mainly introduces several important events in the history of American movies.The author of the book put forward some insignificant incidents on effects of that history and made reasonable guesses.It is good for the people who are interested in film history.As the most important theory of functionalism,the Skopos theory breaks away from traditional equivalence-based linguistic translation theory and studies translation activities from perspective of the recipients.It greatly widens the theoretical scope of translation study by shifting it from a narrow linguistic frame work to a large cross-culture communication context.This translation practice report is based on the excerpts from the translated book.Under the three rules of Skopos theory,the report will give a thorough description of the translation practice,supported by actual cases and examples from the text.It will end with a summary and some personal experience and advice.Through the analysis and conclusion of the translation methods under the guidance of the Skopos theory,the author has obtained a better understanding of the Skopos theory,and he hopes that the translation experience could make a long-term and profound influence on the future research work and the translation of film historical text.
