I'm looking for one or more references (preferably online, but books
are OK) that provide comprehensive translations/equivalents of film
and music terminology in Chinese (either simplified or traditional
characters OK). For example, I need to be able to look up the Chinese
terms for "Fantasy" and "Parody" (as film genres), "Klezmer" and
"Celtic" (as musical
genres), "dailies" and "SMPTE time code" as technical terms. (Only
scratching the surface here.) Naturally, I'm hoping for references
that are fairly comprehensive/encyclopedic.

Can anyone point me to a definitive resource of this type?

Much obliged....

There are a few _minor_ differences between the grammar and vocabulary
of Mandarin and Cantonese, geekjive, but not so many to make this
issue a valid one. I could have in mind Mandarin or Cantonese or
MinNanHua or Hakka or any of the other dozens of _spoken_ Chinese
dialects, but that wouldn't impact the nature of the type of _written_
resource I'm looking for.
