A Comparative Study on Subtitle Translation of Feminist Film Barbie from the Perspective of Translator’s Subjectivity —Take the Official Translation and the Translation by Tupaoguai as Examples
The film Barbie is one of the masterpieces of Greta Gerwig, a famous American female director. From the perspective of women, the film uses comedy techniques to explore gender issues, which not only satirizes the widespread gender bias in society, but also inspires women to discover themselves and realize personal values. By comparing and analyzing the differences between various translators in understanding the original text, translation strategies and translation styles, this paper reveals the role of the translator’s subjectivity in the subtitle translation of Barbie. In addition, the films’ influence on transmitting the cultural connotation and in-depth meaning is expounded to provide insights for future subtitle translation.
