Abstract

Nowadays, watching films is an effective way of enhancing culture communication and exchange. In order to help the audience appreciate foreign films easily and understand the foreign cultural elements clearly, audiovisual translation is researched extensively. With a view to improve the quality of English-Chinese audiovisual translation, functionalist theory can be applied to audiovisual translation. In addition, subtitling aims at pleasing the audience in the most unconstructive way. The proper translation principle and strategy for audiovisual translation are determined by their respective purposes. However, there is no perfect translation; audiovisual translation is a purpose-clear translation action involving different strategies.
