1 Introduction
Having developed for over a century, film has become one of the most popular ways for people to relax themselves in their daily lives. In recent years, in order to enable the Chinese people understand film’s content better, the translators always use a large number of network catchwords, poetries or slangs with highly Chinese characteristics in translating English subtitles to entertain the audience. Someone consider that these vivid and creative words appear in the film can attract the audience and effectively alleviate the loss of culture. While someone think it will reduce the accuracy of the interpretation if we just blindly use it in films.
