3.5.8　Decimation

This strategy is usually applied to the translation of lengthy subtitles; in line with Gottlieb’s suggestions,this means deleting the majority of the original information.In thoroughly comparing the original dialogue with the subtitles in the sample film,I find hardly any instances when a significant moment of expression is too long or spoken too fast.This observation would appear to be consistent with these kinds of animation film.To this extent,Gottlieb’s strategy of decimation will not be appropriate to this project,as any effective E-C translation ought to translate information and expressions as systematically as possible in order to keep faith with the original film.(https://www.daowen.com)

Bearing in mind the cultural differences between the East and the West,decimation is not recommended for use in E-C film subtitle translation.According to the observation of the sample film,this strategy is not used.
