字幕是影視作品不可或缺的一部分，一直默默肩負起展現和詮釋作品的重大責任，讓語言、地域、文化背景不同的觀眾，無障礙地享受各式各樣作品之餘，也讓作品走得更遠，促進溝通。究竟好的字幕是如何鍊成的？
通識（CEDARS-GE）邀請了嘉賓導師馬樂民先生（Mr. Kevin Ma）主持這兩節講座及工作坊。馬樂民先生現為撰稿人及翻譯，自2011年起為多部電影翻譯英文字幕，作品包括：《九龍城寨之圍城》、《正義迴廊》、《飯氣攻心》系列、《竊聽風雲3》、《白日之下》、《從今以後》、《填詞L》、《金都》、《命案》、《梅艷芳》、《海關戰線》，及即將上映的《望月》、《破·地獄》等等。他將與港大學生分享他在字幕製作以及香港電影產業的見解、經驗和知識。
Good subtitling not only maximises audience comprehension and engagement, but also ensures accessibility for different foreign-language viewers from diverse cultural backgrounds as well as those who are unable to watch a video with sound. However, what makes “good” subtitles?
In this series of subtitle-related programmes, we have invited Mr. Kevin Ma, a practitioner from the Hong Kong film industry, to be our guest speaker. He has worked on the subtitles for various recent Hong Kong film hits, including Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, The Sparring Partner, the Table for Six series, Overheard 3, In Broad Daylight, All Shall Be Well, The Lyricist Wannabe, My Prince Edward, Mad Fate, Anita, Customs Frontline, and the upcoming films Once in a Blue Moon and The Last Dance. He will share his insights, experiences, and knowledge on subtitling as well as the Hong Kong film industry with HKU students.
