7、basic criterion for translation is “faithfulness”. “Translation is frequently associated with word- for-word faithfulness to the source text, even though the result may not be considered appropriate for the intended purpose” (Nord, 2001:4). Eugene A. Nida puts forward the theory of functional equiva
8、lence and dynamic equivalence. In his opinion, liberal translation can be more faithful than literal translation. And he emphasizes the equivalence between source language and target language. However, in recent years, there are many diverse kinds of translation, so there are different standards. In
9、 this condition, some experts are dissatisfied with the current translation theories.In 1971, Katharina Reisss book Potentials and Limitations of Translation Criticism is regarded as the turning point of translation in Germany and the whole world. Reiss thinks that the ideal translation would be one
10、 “in which the aim in the target language is equivalence as regards the conceptual content, linguistic form and communicative function of a source language text” (Nord, 2001:9). Nord divided the purpose into three parts: the purpose of translators, the communicative purpose in the target language an
11、d the purpose of special translation strategies. As the student of Reiss, Hans Vermeer defines human action as a intentional and purposeful behavior. And then he put forward the famous theorySkopostheorie. After Vermeer, in the 1990s, Chirisane Nord published the book Translating as a Purposeful Act
12、ivity. In her book, Nord analyzed the functional theory in detail and made a supplementary for the latter works.In terms of Skopostheorie, it shows that translation is a special form of human action with the intention of fulfilling the need of target language users. Skopostheorie believes that the p
13、rocess of translation starts from the purpose and function. The choices of translation principles and strategies should achieve the purpose of the translation from the target text. There are three rules: Skopos rule, Coherence rule and Fidelity rule (Vermeer, 1984). In order to meet the demand of Ch
14、inese audiences, the subtitle translation of sitcoms should fit the three rules, among which the first rule is the most important one. The criteria of translation is not static, but changes with the different purposes. And to judge the success of the standard of translation is not a peer-to-peer pri
15、nciple, or the principles of “faithfulness”, “expressiveness”, and “elegance”.These years, with the deepening communication between China and the whole world, the Skopostheorie has injected great vitality to the translation field in China. And China has payed more and more attention to this field in
16、 recent years.Situation comedy, often known as sitcom, is “a regular program on television that shows the same characters in different amusing situations” (Hornby, 2004). It has a history of 50 years in the U.S, which has special methods and styles. It is always one of the most popular TV shows in A
17、merica. In 1992, American sitcom Growing Pains was introduced to the Chinese audience, which was regarded as elementary education of sitcom to the domestic television audience. From the native Home With Kids and other kinds of sitcoms, the whole world sees the huge progress that China has made in th
18、is area. However, Chinese sitcom TV consumer market is far from being indispensable to this type of program and its influence cannot compare with the American sitcoms. So in the future, in order to meet the demand of Chinese audiences, except bringing in more foreign sitcoms, China should work hard
19、to produce its native famous sitcoms and make its own famous international shows.In terms of translation of films, there are two kinds of translations: dubbing and subtitling. Because subtitling is much cheaper and saves a lot of time, so most TV producers choose this way to make online translation.
20、 Besides, the number of dubbed films audience far exceeds the number of translation of a literary audience (readers). As a result, subtitle translation is an inevitable trend in the whole world. In the magazine Chinese Translators Journal, it adheres to both of theoretical and practical tenets, conc
21、erned about the theoretical front, close to the practice of translation, promote the translation teaching, and report the industry trend. In The Strategies of Subtitle Translation by Li Yunxing in Chinese Translators Journal, he makes an overview of the subtitle translation. It analyzes the subtitle
22、 translation features, the cultural factors and the corresponding translation strategies from the perspective of time and space constraints. The subtitle translation should seek to provide the most relevant and the most effective information in the limited time and space. Then, he makes some explana
23、tions by examples. Introduction to Dubbing Film and Television by Ma Zhengqi shows the definition, features and trend of dubbing films and televisions.In Translation in Intercultural Communication, Jin Huikang introduces translation from the perspective of cross-cultural research, making a multiface
24、ted and interdisciplinary comparison between Chinese and English. The book is instance-based and it is together with the theoretical guidance in order to be comprehend and innovative. Contrastive Studies of English and Chinese Language by He Shanfen focuses on the main characteristics of Chinese and
25、 English and makes comparisons in vocabulary, grammar and rhetoric, which makes a detailed discussion of the two languages.In Wu Rongrongs two papers, The Translation Strategies and Features of Anglo-American Films and Television, and The Alternative Paraphrase in Subtitle Translation of Network Ame
26、rican TV Series, she describes the fashionable trend and features of subtitle translation of English and American movies or TV dramas, and how to apply translation strategies in proper ways.Since China is becoming more open to the world, there would be more and more foreign movies and TV series brou
27、ght to Chinese market, the subtitle translation online is a inevitable trend in China. In recent years, the translation groups online are brought together by the enthusiasm towards TV series and they are not professional. So the translations are not that formal and accurate. What we need to improve
28、is the formality of the subtitle translation systems, and we should enhance the translators ability from cross-cultural knowledge to translation skills. Then the Skopostheorie can be fully applied in subtitle translation of sitcoms.本科生毕业论文设计题目： 从目的论角度分析情景喜剧的字幕翻译作者姓名： XX 指导教师： XXX 所在学院： XXX学院 专业（系）：

39、ning cooperation in politics and economy between China and the Western countries, the cultural connection is getting closer and closer. There are more and more foreign films and TV series appearing on Chinese screen in recent years. Now, people regard television as a relaxing living style which less
40、ens the pressure of daily life. Among all those TV programs, the famous ones are those which bring happiness and enjoyment to the audience. So as a special kind of American TV series, sitcom is especially popular in China. Sitcom has become the main category of the research in television art. It is
41、appeared in America. In 1992, American sitcom Growing Pains was introduced to the Chinese audience, which was regarded as elementary education of sitcom to the domestic television audience. It is reported that since 1947, the first sitcom Mary Kay and Johnny appeared to the middle period of 1990s, t
42、here were more than 27,000 sitcoms. Generally speaking, American people are into this kind of TV program so much that sitcom has been at the top rank since it appeared. Today, the sitcom has been widely accepted in many countries, and it is already one of the most popular TV shows around the whole w
43、orld. Some popular sitcoms are The Big Bang Theory, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men and Two Broken Girls, and so on. As a result, the subtitle translation of sitcoms is in great need, and translator plays a decisive role to the target language audience. Sitcoms describe the common
44、 life of ordinary people in some common environment such as home and workplace. Usually, the main characters are in some fixed locations and live their own lives. A sitcom often lasts only about 20 minutes centering on different themes on each episode. Given the popularity of sitcoms in China, subti
45、tle translation of sitcoms is in high demand. This kind of translation should keep pace with the times, so in terms of translation theory, Skopostheorie is the most suitable one. Skopos is a Greek word which means “aim” and “purpose”. In 1971, Katharina Reiss put forward that the best translation should be equivalent in concept and content, in language form and communicative function between target language and the source language. Vermeer is Reisss student who carried forward part of his teachers theory. Together they put forward
