Three Dimensional Transformations in the Film Subtitle Translation

Film plays an indispensable part in cultural exchange. However, current scholars’ studies on the film subtitle translation are less than literary translation. There exists no systematic strategy and theory guiding it, and there still exists some problems.This paper introduces eco-translatology to film subtitle translation. Eco-translatology proposes that translation is an alternative cycle of translators’ adaptation and selection activities in translational eco-environment. The translation method focuses on threedimensional transformation, namely linguistic, cultural and communicative dimensions.
