英语电影字幕翻译中的概念隐喻研究——以《头脑特工队》为例

A Study on Conceptual Metaphors in English Film Subtitle Translation—A Case Study of Inside Out

摘要: 本文以《头脑特工队》为研究对象，基于概念隐喻理论(CMT)，结合多模态语境分析框架，探讨英语电影字幕翻译中概念隐喻的处理机制。研究发现，多模态信息可有效补偿语言转换中的隐喻损失，而目标域隐喻扩展是最易受翻译影响的隐喻类型。研究构建了“动画字幕隐喻处理模型”，为高认知负载动画字幕翻译提供实践策略，丰富多模态语境下隐喻互动机制研究。

Abstract: This study takes Inside Out as the research subject and, based on Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) combined with a multimodal contextual analysis framework, explores the processing mechanisms of conceptual metaphors in English film subtitle translation. The research reveals that multimodal information can effectively compensate for metaphorical losses during language conversion, while target domain metaphorical extensions constitute the metaphor type most susceptible to translation effects. The study constructs an “Animated Subtitle Metaphor Processing Model”, providing practical strategies for high cognitive load animated subtitle translation and enriching research on metaphorical interaction mechanisms within multimodal contexts.
