摘要:随着中西方的文化交流日益加深,美剧作为一种娱乐宣传文化的有效手段,已经广泛进入了我国群众的生活，成为人们了解西方文化和民俗风情的主要渠道,愈来愈受到我国观众的青睐。字幕翻译作为影视作品跨文化交际的桥梁,越来越引起人们的重视。同时社会大众对电影字幕翻译也寄予了重视和密切的关注,对翻译者的综合素质提出了更高的要求。

影视剧字幕翻译属于文学翻译的主要分支,具有很强的实用性。近年来,影视剧作为文化传播的重要载体,经过网络的传播,影响力逐渐扩大。以美剧为例，在近几年全球化的影响下得到了一部分国人的追捧。但是由于受到语言的影响与制约,大多数美剧在引入我国之后需要进行字幕翻译,因此称字幕翻译人员为中美交流的文化使者也不为过。

本文以美国情景喜剧《生活大爆炸》《老友记》为例,立足于目的论翻译原则,通过对影片的故事内容进行简单概括,分析影片中的人物对话，指出翻译者基于目的论原则下所采用的字幕翻译策略。
