1. Introduction
In the context of globalization, cross-cultural communicative activities have become increasing popular and diversifier. In recent years, more and more films and TV plays from foreign countries have entered into our view through TV or Internet, e.g. Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and The Vampire Diaries. These TV series, in various plots and forms, enrich our lives, broaden our mind and deepen our understanding of foreign cultures. With the rise of foreign TV dramas and a large amount of films and TV plays being translated, the study of subtitle translation, as a newly developed branch, has gradually attracted people’s attention. Excellent subtitle translation not only can help the audience to overcome the difficulties in languages and understand the plot better, but also contribute to having a true feel of social culture in different countries.
