Title Subtitle Translation of American Humor in “the Big Bang Theory”
Abstract
Thanks to the fast development of science and technology and the increasingly frequent communication of culture all over the world, in recent years, we are favored with much more opportunities than ever before to get touch with foreign movies and TV programs, realizing a global share of all kinds of resources. Among all these TV series, American sitcoms, especially, cater to the taste of Chinese young generation. Subtitle translation plays an undisregardable role in transmitting the typical American humor. In the process of subtitle translation, the crucial role of translation as a bond and bridge in language converting and culture transmitting is completely and typically revealed. A good translation covers the obscurity of the original language and shortens the emotional distance with the target audience, rendering the Chinese audience the same or similar joys as the American audience when watching sitcoms.
The Big Bang Theory is a famous American sitcom. Consisting of puns, rhetorical devices and wordplay, the dialogues are witty and humorous. These distinctive linguistic phenomena make translation complicated and difficult. Although single translation theory is not universally adaptable, comprehensive use of different kinds of translation theories makes the translation more practical and flexible. This paper probes to discuss different translation strategies under guidance of different translation theories in order to make some contribution to bettering subtitle translation in the future.
