1 Introduction
With the pace of modern life becoming more and more fast, the demand for entertainment is constantly increasing, and a large number of foreign films are intended to meet the demand of the public, such as Shrek series, The Mask and Kung Fu Panda series. Besides their unique charms, their successful subtitle translations play an important role in making them popular among viewers. Undoubtedly, the quality of the subtitle translation decides whether a good foreign film can be accepted by foreign audience. Due to the influence of the sense of nativeness in the process of translation, translators tend to take their own cultural characteristics as reference，and in turn we can find the embodiment of the sense of nativeness in it.
By using the sense of nativeness, translators can achieve the original humor effects which conform to the cultural background of the target audience, so that audience can understand the humor in foreign films through the subtitle translation even though they don’t understand the foreign language at all. The humor and happiness in English films can also be conveyed completely to audience through the subtitle translation.
