Title A Relevance Theoretical Approach to the Translation of Film Subtitles Abstract As a particular language translation mode, subtitle is a communication bridge between the film and the audience. In film translation, translators should follow the relevance translation theory. Based on the relevance principle, the translation should express the original intention and related information correctly to make a correct assumption or expectation to target audiences from their specific cognitive environment, so that the translators can take suitable translation strategies to make sure that target audiences could obtain maxi-mum contextual effects with minimum effort, so as to achieve the optimal relevance to improve the communication efficiency.

1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction Background Nowadays, more and more foreign films are entering into Chinese market. At the same time, Chinese films are becoming more and more popular in the world. Film industry is facing a huge market. To audiences, no matter which country the films are from, language is a common problem for them to totally understand the foreign films. Usually, we have two ways to solve this problem: dubbing and subtitles. Dubbing or post-synchronization, is defined as ―the replacement of the original speech by a voice track with attempts to follow as closely as possible the timing, phrasing and lip movements of the original dialogue‖(Baker,2004:75) Before, most of the foreign films which entered into Chinese were dubbing. However, we find that it has big difference than the original foreign films. Most of the time, they can’t express the emotions correctly, so that it influences the effect of the original films and hurts the mood of viewers. Besides, with the international process of English, more and more Chinese people are attending to learn English while foreign films subtitle is good way for them to learn. In addition, dubbing is more expensive than subtitle translation. Also, dubbing takes more time than subtitle translation. So, we’re now inclined to watch foreign films with subtitles other than dubbing films. For example, the Hollywood films which are popular with audience around the world are always translated into different languages to satisfy the different markets with different mother language. Like these Hollywood films, with the internationalization, Chinese films are in a great need of subtitle translation. Most of the Chinese films now have English subtitles 论关联理论下中文电影字幕的翻译:http://www.751com.cn/cailiao/lunwen_23288.html
