1.    Literature Review
With the rapidly development of global market of movies, the subtitle translation plays a significant role in movies. As Ma zhengqi said, if the subtitle is more similar to the language that we use everyday then audience can understand the contents of movies better. However, if translators pursue the similarity blindly and abandon the background information, cultural difference, meanings of directors. It will definitely affect the view experience of audience and lost the original intention that the movie wants to express. This is not only a loss of a good movie, but also a loss to those audience who paid money.
