Abstract
With the increasingly frequent international cultural exchanges and the development of network multimedia technology, foreign movies, especially western English movies, continue to pour into the Chinese market. Movies are important carriers of language and culture. English movies have their unique linguistic features and rich national cultural connotations. Due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultural backgrounds, there will inevitably be a cultural collision in the translation and introduction of English movies. Under the guidance of the basic theory of cross-cultural translation, this paper examines the translation strategies and techniques of English film titles through the examples of English film titles translation, hoping to benefit the translation of film titles in the future.
