This paper selects some subtitle clips from Friends to discuss the application of domestication and foreignization in The Chinese translation of English subtitle. This paper mainly explains the characteristics, principles and strategies of subtitle translation in sitcoms, and studies and summarizes the influence of subtitle translation on translators.
