Abstract: With the development of globalization, cultural exchanges among different countries are more and more frequent. As a kind of mass cultural product, film plays a vital role in cross-culture communication. Through watching foreign films, the audience can also learn more about foreign national customs and cultural conventions. In order to remove the differences of languages, as a new flourished area, subtitle translation appeared, attracting much attention from scholars in translation studies. In general, film translation can be divided into three types: voice-over, dubbing and subtitling. This paper, based on Newmark’s communicative translation theory, attempts to propose three subtitling principles for the Chinese film hero -- comprehensibility, economy and equivalent effect. And Hero is used as a case for discussing how these strategies reflect the three subtitling principles.
Key words: film subtitling; communicative translation theory; film subtitling principles; film subtitling strategies.
