It is further extensions of free translation and literal translation. American TV series How I Met Your Mother is a classic and popular American sitcom in China. The story of this sitcom is funny and attractive. The lines in this sitcom are the highlight of it. When the translators are in the process of translation, on the one hand, translators have to find out the meaning of original text. On the other hand, translators have to fully base on the cognitive context and make a proper processing to the original text, and deliver the meaning to the audience. This paper bases on the domestication and foreignization theory and it designes to explore the applicability and guidance of translation of How I Met Your Mother.Key Words: translation；domestication；foreignization1. Introduction1.1 BackgroundIn recent years, Chinas external exchanges become more and more frequent, and accompanied with the great development of foreign language TV series and film in Chinese market.

Meanwhile, with the development of modern information technologies and subtitling, once dubbed film gradually was replaced by original films. This form of simple convenience and enable acoustic effect is accepted and loved by Chinese audiences soon. With the increase and the expansion of the scope of acceptance, film subtitling also highlights the importance that use objective and reasonable theory of translation subtitling practice is imperative. Television subtitling can be considered as a communication between the film producer and target language audience. And relevance translation theory is the process as verbal communication relating to the reasoning of the human brain. This paper shows a case study of American TV series How I Met Your Mother, in the analysis from the perspective of relevance translation theory subtitles of the film taken by domestication and foreignization strategies, and it designed to explore the explanation and positive influence of the relevance translation theory.1.2 How I Met Your MotherA comedy starring by Greenberg, Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan, etc., premiered on September 19, 2005, on the CBS television network.

Chinese Subtitle Translation StatusSubtitle group, Chinese means 字幕组, just as literal meaning, subtitle group is composed of fans because of their personal interests, and subtitle group is not for profit, lovers make subtitles just because of their love for some TV series, however, not excluded a few of subtitle groups, for personal gain, and collaborating with the piracy industry with subtitles for sell for profit, of course the profit is the illegal profit.In China, the origin of the subtitle group is because with the popularity of the Internet in China, Internet users aware that many outstanding drama, animation, movies are from Europe and the United States, Japan and South Koreas works, and shall have the right to introduce programs, film and television institutions such as CCTV, general introduction of foreign outstanding works is very slow, involving the relevant examination and approval procedures are complex, and the average level of foreign language of Chinese people is just general, subtitle group was born.The rapid development of modern industry, the worlds film full of our spiritual world, our countrys film and television also spread to the countries all over the world. With good subtitle translation can let people around the world to appreciate the charm of the original audience without any cultural barriers. But these high quality foreign works are still mixed with some not too perfect film and television works. The film is to understand the meaning of the original text cant accurately express the original cultural connotation. The basic task of the subtitle translation is to serve the audience, it is just a part of the whole film industry, film can screen meet with the audience, there are hundreds of millions of workers pay the hard work and effort, the translator has to take their full responsibility and obligation of reduction to the audience. Subtitle is the entertainment. Domestication strategy is given prior to, translation speed development trend.3. Relevance Theory of TranslationRelevance Theory is Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson 1986 in H.P.GRICE developed on the basis of the Principle of Relevance of proposed, in view of their co-author work Relevance: Communication and Cognition.Five years later, one of their students Ernst August Gutt published a Translation and Relevance: Cognition and Context according to Relevance Theory in 1991. In this book, Gutt proposed relevance translation theory, readers found everything fresh and new after reading.Gutt believes that the translation of scientific research involving several disciplines. Therefore, the translation of scientific study of one of the main problems is not only linguistic factors need to be considered, you also need to consider other factors. These factors relate to many different areas of life.Therefore he considered that the foundation of relevance translation theory for translation is a reasoning process. Translation studies the human brain mechanisms.Gutt pointed out that relevance is full of importance and guide meaning in translation process, specifically contains two aspects, one is translation have to make full of associated with translation language readers or provides full of context effect, on the one hand, translation of expression way let translation language readers without paying any unnecessary efforts, on the other hand is to promote the translation communication go on wheels. Translators need to look for the best association from source language implied of content, associated with higher of explicit content to target audiences, make the target audience with the minimum effort for the maximum context effect, in order to successfully understand the source authors express intent. Optimal relevance is not only one of the criteria for selecting strategies and methods and efforts to meet the goals of the second translator, the translators responsibility is to make the original authors intent to consistent with the readers expectations.4.

Domestication translation requires translators to get closer to the readers of the target language, and if the original author wants to talk directly to the reader, the translation must become authentic native language. Domestication translation helps readers to gain a better understanding of translations, enhance the readability and appreciation of translations. Therefore domestication is a translation strategy which uses a transparent and fluent style in translation process to minimize the strangeness of the original work. It should make the world of the source language close to the world of cultural readers of the target language as far as possible, thus reaching the cultural equivalence between the culture of the source language and the target language culture. Gutt can be regarded as a typical representative of domestication. He proposed the notion of closest natural equivalence. From the social and cultural standpoint, he put the reader of the target language in the first place, and carefully analyzes the intent of the source language information. Gutt repeated his view on various occasions, that the translation is essentially the closest natural equivalence of source information. In Gutts view, dynamic equivalence (or functional equivalence) is intended to be fully natural and to incorporate the source language behavior patterns into the cultural category of the target reader. This concept of translation does not emphasize that readers must accept the mode of source culture in order to understand the source language information. Therefore, he proposes a functional isomorphism strategy as a solution to achieve the same effect in different systems.There is no doubt that audience can judge issues by their native language and cultural background. There are many differences. In a perspective of relevance translation theory, and the subtitles translators should try to help Chinese audiences with less effort to understand film effect, gain emotional resonance. This must be for foreign films and TV series in the distinctive form of language, cultural or customary expression of vocabulary for processing. Domestication translation aims to minimize the translation, for this object readers need to provide a natural and smooth translation. Under the guidance of the domestication strategy, you can make subtitles become more conform to the language habits of the target audience, and make the better contextual effects.Eg.1: I was just too close to the puzzle to see the picture that was formin.Translation: 我不识庐山真面目,只缘身在此山中。This translation domesticates a flat sentence in episode of a poem that Chinese audiences often heard and well remembered. If it was just literally translated, the audiences will feel stiff boring and need to take some time to get the deep meaning. Translator sourc
