Abstract：With the fast spread of internet technologies, more and more Chinese people have opportunities to enjoy latest western audiovisual materials on the internet and meanwhile subtitle translation groups emerge as unique groups of people who voluntarily produce Chinese subtitles for foreign TV series and movies, and then they make use of the internet to share these subtitles free. Therefore, subtitles produced by them are also called subtitle translation group translations. Because of subtitle translation groups’ unique development history, dissemination methods and present make–up, their translations become apparently distinct from Chinese official translations of movies.

　　　This paper is devoted to the comparison of official subtitle translation of movies and subtitle translation groups’ version. It aims to summarize features and trends of subtitle translation groups’ work, based on three different movies Kung Fu Panda，Pride & Prejudice and Forrest Gump. Each of the three movies’ translations would be analyzed from various lights, such as colloquial style and amplification.

　　　Compared with translations of classical literature, audiovisual translation has its own feature. Therefore, hopefully, this study of the audiovisual translation may be of some value to the movies’ translation practice as well as translation theory in general.

摘要：随着互联网技术在中国的普及运用，越来越多的中国人开始接触享受最新的英美网络影音资源，而字幕组正是这些将外语影片剧集配上中文字幕，并借助互联网进行传播的组织，所以由字幕组配上字幕的影视作品即被称为字幕组翻译作品。由于字幕组的产生发展及字幕组字幕的传播皆以互联网作为载体，加上字幕组翻译人员构成的特殊性，使得网络字幕组翻译与国内传统正规引进电影的翻译存在着一些明显的差异。

　　　本课题旨在通过对比三部不同类型的英美电影《功夫熊猫》 《傲慢与偏见》和 《阿甘正传》，找出网络字幕组翻译和国内正规渠道引进的字幕翻译的差异，集中讨论分析相比传统电影翻译，网络字幕组翻译的新特点和新趋势。本文将会从这每部电影的不同方面展开讨论，如增译技巧，口语性等。

　　　由于影视作品翻译相对于经典文学作品翻译有其自身的特点，而不可否认正是由于网络字幕组翻译在一定程度上切合了这种特点，才能够得到公众的认可并且迅速广泛的发展传播起来，因此对网络字幕组翻译的特点及趋势进行研究分析对于影视作品翻译实践以及翻译理论的研究都是极具参考指导价值的。

　　　This paper is devoted to a discussion of the differences between movies’ official subtitle translation and translation groups’ version, based on three different movies. As above, these three movies’ translations have been analyzed from various perspectives, such as colloquial style and amplification, which are very essential for each movie’s successful translation. 

　　　In general, according to the above analyses, the present writer would like to say, the official version is not always better than the grass-roots one, contrary to many people belief. In these three movies, the official translation also makes many low-level mistakes, like mistaking the phrase “be slave to” in the second film Pride and Prejudice. Admittedly, fansub group is by no means perfect, but it is not as disappointing as some people think. Besides, there exist many fansub groups’ translation versions for a movie, with both terrible and excellent ones. Therefore, when talking about a specific film, one is supposed to compare different translations carefully and thoroughly to decide which one is better.  

Secondly, the writer finds out that it is not easy to summarize the so-called general features of fansub groups’ translation and of official translation. What decides each movie’s translation style mostly is actually each translator’s style and it is very hard to make generalizations according to various styles of translators who belong to the two different groups. So it is naïve to assert that fansub groups’ version is absolutely colloquial-style or more free-translation, compared with its official counterpart. Translators from both official groups and fansub groups could decide whether this sentence uses free translation or literal translation, according to many specific elements such as genre, occasion and character.
