1 Introduction
   Since movies came into being, they have become one important carrier of culture, and played an important role in cross-culture communication. With the development of movie industry, the movie subtitle translation becomes more and more important. There are a large number of movies coming into our country, at the same time, more and more Chinese movies are appreciated by foreign. So movie subtitle translation holds an important position; moreover, when we watch a foreign movie, our understanding of the movie depends on the subtitle. 
A good translation should be a solid connection between source language speakers and target language audience. The theory applied in this thesis provided a new visual of subtitle translation---Skopos Theory. The point of this theory is the purpose, and it released translation from the shackle of source text. The Skopos Theory is determined by audience’s needs and expectations. In this way, we will avoid some mistakes in movie subtitle translation.
