On the Translation of Film and TV Drama from Bassnett's Cultural Translation Theory

Abstract

Susan Basnett's cultural translation theory holds that translation is not only a form of discourse transmission, but also a form of cross-cultural communication, and the core of translation is cultural implantation and integration. As an integral part of modern art forms, the translation of film and television works also promotes the spread of culture. This paper consists of five parts. The first part is the introduction; The second part gives a brief introduction to Basnett's cultural translation theory; The third part briefly introduces the translation of English film and television works; The fourth part introduces the application of English film and television translation from the perspective of cultural translation. Finally, the fifth part is the conclusion.
