Only these three combined can a good movie title be translated. copyright paper51.com In the translation ofEnglish to Chinese, the use of four-character format is increasingly acceptedby audience.

Chinese is more famous for two-syllable words. While, thefour-character form of Chinese between words and sentence has a strongscalability with harmonious beauty of voice.
