Abstract

In recent years, entertainment-oriented rewriting has played a more and more important role in the subtitle translation, which seems to be a trend in the translation area. The application of defamiliarization and entertainment-oriented rewriting breaks limitations of traditional translation in terms of time and space. They make subtitle translation humorous, vivid, and easy to understand in virtue of a large number of familiar Chinese traditional culture, network buzzwords and famous names. This thesis reveals connotation of the film deeply and demonstrates changes expressively not only about expression, but also about the inner activity, so that the audience can quickly understand the film. It is a humorous way to make the audience enjoy the film.

The thesis mainly takes subtitle translation of English movies as examples for entertainment rewriting with the use of defamiliarization. It does research on the domestic and foreign defamiliarization, entertainment-oriented rewriting and subtitle translation. The thesis also explores the characteristics and relationships between the defamiliarization, entertainment rewriting and subtitle translation, and probes into the importance and application of two theories in the subtitle translation. 

Key words: defamiliarization  entertainment-oriented rewriting  subtitle translation of English movies
