A Study on Subtitle Translationof the American TV Series Why WomenKill from the Perspective of Adaptation Theory
Abstract
This thesis explores subtitle translation in Why Women Kill using Adaptation Theory. Through literature review and case analysis,
it identifies two key features: rich cultural connotations and frequent rhetorical devices. The study examines how translators adapt across
linguistic, cultural, and situational contexts, employing methods like free translation and cultural equivalence. It demonstrates the theory's applicability and enhances understanding of its role in audiovisual translation.
