摘要互联网的发展使得大量的美国电视节目以非官方的形式被引进到中国，因这些节目中涉及的方面较广，包括美国时政、娱乐动态和人物访谈等，因此字幕翻译对不了解此类内容的观众来说至关重要，但目前国内关于字幕翻译并没有形成一个严格的规范体系。本文以互联网上《吉米•坎摩尔秀》的字幕为文本，采用定性分析法，利用功能主义翻译理论，挖掘字幕译者的翻译目的，对字幕进行分析，并最终为字幕翻译者总结出相应的翻译策略：增加法、缩减法、替换法和意译法，以期为日后的脱口秀字幕翻译提供参考。25904

1 Introduction
With the advancement of the Internet, Chinese people have more opportunities to get access to the outside world. The introduction of American talk shows to China via Weibo or other media has allowed netizens to be connected to the rest of the globe. Jimmy Kimmel Live, the talk show this thesis centers on, is an American talk show that features political news, entertainment updates and street or celebrity interviews. The variety of the topics can create confusion if audience are not familiar with such topics. Therefore, subtitle reveals its importance under such context. A well-translated subtitle allows the audience to get the messages the show is trying to convey. But studies on subtitle translation, especially about talk shows, are few and far between in China. And a systematic regulation or norm has not been built up, either. This thesis analyzes the subtitle of Jimmy Kimmel Live from the perspective of functionalist translation theory in the hope of finding out what strategies a subtitle translator can use under the guidance of functionalist translation theory and whether these strategies can operate well with the constraints of time and space or not.
Chapter one introduces the structure and objective of this thesis. Chapter two centers on previous studies on subtitle translation and functionalist translation theory. Chapter three is designated for research methodology. Chapter four presents case studies on subtitle translation of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Examples are analyzed and four corresponding strategies are concluded. Also, in this part, some translations that are seen inadequate or inappropriate by the author will be pointed out and corresponding modifications will be presented.
