More and more English films and TV productions are entering China, which has become the main way for us to learn English and culture. Therefore, the translation of film subtitles has been paid more and more attention by translators and audiences.

This thesis focuses on the combination of theory and translation practice, aiming to explore the positive guiding role of Skopos Theory in film subtitle translation and to provide new reference for English film subtitle translation by broadening the research perspective.
