摘要
随着中华文化对外传播与数字媒体深度融合，纪录片已成为跨文化交流的重要载体，而文化负载词的英译质量对文化传播意义重大。本文以目的论为理论指导，选取纪录片《云赏敦煌》中具有代表性的文化负载词为研究对象，运用文献研究法与案例分析法，探讨其英译方法的选择。研究发现，目的论可为该纪录片文化负载词的英译提供系统性指导，文本中的文化负载词主要采用音译、直译、意译与意译+增译四种方法。对这些词英译方法的分析，能够为同类纪录片中文化负载词的英译提供理论与实践借鉴，进而推动中华文化的对外传播与交流。

Abstract
With the deep integration of Chinese culture's international dissemination and digital media, documentaries have become an important carrier for cross-cultural communication. The quality of translating culture-loaded words into English directly affects the actual effect of cultural communication. Guided by the Skopos Theory, this paper takes the representative culture-loaded words in the documentaries of Appreciate Dunhuang Online as the research object, and uses the methods of literature research and case analysis to explore the choice of translation methods. The research finds that the Skopos Theory can provide systematic guidance for the translation of culture-loaded words in this documentary. The culture-loaded words in the text are mainly translated by transliteration, literal translation, free translation, and free translation plus amplification. The analysis of the English translation methods for these words can provide theoretical and practical references for the translation of culture-loaded words in similar documentaries, and further promote the international dissemination and exchange of Chinese culture.
