In this situation, this paper goes deep into many west movie title translations in recent years and refines some of the translations, summarizing and posing new principles, so that the movie title translation would not only be more standardized but also make a deep impression for the audience. Usually, movie titles are brief and short. Translating such brief movie title is just regarded as a piece of cake, but it is hard to translate well.
