Abstract
Humor, as an important factor in sitcoms, is a magic weapon to draw attention from audiences. The humor in sitcoms can be roughly classified into two types: linguistic and visual type. The linguistic humor is mainly reflected by subtitles on which audiences rely to follow the contents of sitcoms, to understand the various cultural factors the sitcoms convey and to sense the humorous effect. Thus, subtitlers should consider conveying not only the content but also the humorous effect. Based on The Big Bang Theory, a popular American sitcom in China, this paper tries to analyze translating skills of different type of humor in subtitle.
This paper is divided into three parts. In the first part, the author discusses the characteristics of subtitle and its corresponding translation requirements. In the second part, the author introduces the contents and main characters of the sitcom The Big Bang Theory, especially humorous effects in it. The third part is the center of this paper, in which the author analyzes the skills of translating subtitles and the conveyance of humorous effect in detail. The author classifies the subtitling humor into universal humor, cultural humor and wordplay. And she puts forward specific translating skills to convey the humorous effect of source texts according to the different type of humor.
Key words: sitcom; subtitling translation; humorous effect
