Untitled means a work of art has no name. A painting, a song, a poem, a film, a document — if nobody gave it a title, it is untitled.
Untitleduntitled means意思是 a work of art has no name一件藝術作品沒有名字。A painting, a song, a poem, a film, a document一幅畫、一首歌、一首詩、一部電影、一份文件——if nobody gave it a title如果沒有人給它取名字, it is untitled它就是 untitled。
There is a nice twist here. In art galleries, Untitled is written with a capital U and used as if it were the title: Untitled, 1962. So the label announcing that there is no title becomes the label on the wall. Artists sometimes choose this on purpose, because a title would tell you what to think, and they want you to look first. So untitled can mean 'not named yet' or 'deliberately left unnamed', and only the situation tells you which.
There is a nice twist here這裡有個有趣的轉折。In art galleries在美術館裡, Untitled is written with a capital UUntitled 會用大寫 U 寫出來 and used as if it were the title當成標題一樣使用: Untitled, 1962Untitled, 1962。So於是 the label announcing that there is no title這個宣告「沒有標題」的標籤 becomes反而變成了 the label on the wall牆上的標籤本身。Artists sometimes choose this on purpose藝術家有時候是故意這樣選擇的, because a title would tell you what to think因為標題會告訴你該怎麼想, and they want you to look first而他們希望你先自己看。So untitled can mean所以 untitled 可以指 'not named yet' or 'deliberately left unnamed'「還沒取名字」,也可以指「刻意不取名字」, and only the situation tells you which只有情境才能告訴你是哪一種。
You also meet it every day on a computer. Open a new document and it is called Untitled or Untitled-1 until you save it with a real name. For many students this is the first place they ever see the word.

It normally describes creative work, not ordinary objects — an untitled box or an untitled dog would sound odd. Stay with art, writing, music, film, and files.
