As for the study of this area, dubbing and scripting are two of the most important aspects.

The theory adopted in this thesis is Skopos theory. It was established by the German linguists Hans Vermeer and Katharina Reiszlig;, which focuses on translation as an activity with an aim or purpose, and on the intended addressee or audience of the translation. This theory is widely used in film translation, under the guidance of this theory, the translator will choose the most appropriate translation strategies according to the translation purpose. Instead of just considering whether to faithfully convey the information of the text, but also take many other aspects into consideration like the characteristics of film language, and the acceptance of the audience and so on.
