Abstract
The paper attempts to analyze the features of subtitling by using the latest language material---The Big Bang Theory, which is in vogue in the U.S. or even around the whole world. On the basis of subtitling and domestication and with the source of subtitling from “YYeTs” (one leading subtitling group in China) and origin subtitling, the analysis, description and conclusion are conducted on the characteristics of subtitling. Now that there is limited research on subtitling or even few researches on the analysis of subtitling of an American sitcom from a domestication view, this paper may supply a number of raw materials for subtitling.
Keywords domestication The Big Bang Theory subtitling

1 Introduction
1.1 Research Background
Nowadays, people are living in a world featured with globalization, intercultural communications and the continuous development of economy and technology. Cultures, from different countries with different history and backgrounds have entered and strongly affected people’s daily lives. As one of the most critical means of cultural communication, movies and TV series have also played an increasingly important role in English learning for students and other individuals. According to Lonergan (1984), “the outstanding feature of video films is their ability to present complete situations. The combination of sound and vision is dynamic, immediate and accessible. This means that communication can be shown in a context, and many factors in communication can be easily perceived by language learners.”
