摘要：随着全球数字多媒体技术的飞速发展, 影视作品的交流空前活跃。电影片名是一部电影的精华和魂灵，一部影片可否成功的开启国内外市场，决定于片名可否引发观众的兴致。由于电影其特有的文化特征，翻译上要尽可能地保留其修辞手法及文化特色，使其蕴含的文化信息和美学特色得以更好地展现，并且得以让更多的中国人了解外国的影视文化。

  本文在分析片名功能的基础上, 发现翻译目的论对片名翻译有很好的指导意义。本文分别从三个层次阐明了其可行性：第一，作者介绍了什么是翻译目的论；第二，作者分析了为什么要利用翻译目的论来翻译电影片名；第三，作者提出了如何利用翻译目的论来翻译电影片名。 

关键词：影视片名；翻译目的论；功能
