Abstract:
This paper examines the application of process-oriented consciousness versus resultoriented consciousness and possibility-oriented consciousness versus fact-oriented consciousness in Chinese film subtitle translation, using "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as a case study. It analyzes how these four forms of awareness function in translation practice and their effect on translation quality. By establishing a theoretical framework and examining concrete examples, the study highlights the significance of these conceptual pairs in subtitle translation and suggests relevant translation strategies. The findings indicate that appropriate use of process-oriented consciousness and result-oriented consciousness, along with possibility-oriented consciousness and fact-oriented consciousness can significantly improve the accuracy and fluency of subtitles, thereby enhancing the viewing experience and deepening the audience’s comprehension of the film.
Keywords: Process-Oriented Consciousness, Result-Oriented Consciousness, PossibilityOriented Consciousness, Fact-Oriented Consciousness Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
