An impressing film is attractive not only because of its gripping plots or a very strong cast, but also a unique film title, which is innovative in any part of world. As more and more English films have come into the Chinese market, how to play an important role in the competitive market has been pushed into the spotlight. Then how to use appropriate translations of English film titles to appeal audience has become a hot spot.

Although the traditional ways of translation has achieved a lot of gratifying results, it still obeys the rules “Faithfulness, Expressiveness, and Elegance”, which is proposed by Yan Fu, a famous translator in recent times. However, we find the phenomenon that traditional way of translations from English to Chinese is kind of laggard, for some rules do not fit for the evolving culture. In order to keep the intimate connection between the films and audience, make a fantastic artistic work comprehended by all the people in the world, we need professional translations of titles to generalize the whole story, and demonstrating the social value. For these reasons, we have to take advantage of the essence of traditional translations, and add some modern elements to achieve adequate representation. Thus English films can serve as a bridge of spiritual communication.
