Abstract

With the in-depth development of cross-cultural exchanges, many excellent foreign film and television works are popularized in China, and the correct translation of movie subtitles ensures the accurate transmission of the information in the cultural products. Therefore, subtitle translation is becoming more and more important in the translation world. The Broke Sisters is a very characteristic humor comedy, which leaves a deep impression on people. But very often, the audience may not understand the plot of the drama, so excellent subtitle translation is essential. Based on Zhang Delu scholars' comprehensive theoretical framework of multimodal discourse analysis, this paper interprets the subtitles of The Broke Sisters from four dimensions: culture, context, content, and expression, aiming to analyze how the translator applies the theory of multimodal discourse analysis and combines language with visual, auditory and other modalities in the hope of providing more lessons for the cause of subtitle translation in China.
