4.4　Further Use of the Corpus

In the investigation of sample subtitle pairs,I find that,in the process of translating,Chinese subtitles are longer than the corresponding text in English.However,given the mechanical process of making film subtitles,the ideal length for a Chinese subtitle is about 15 words in each line.My expectation is that there are some translation strategies that should help the subtitler to fulfil this ideal.If this turns out to be the case after acquiring the large amount of data in the self-built corpus,I will discuss my findings and the most effective strategies that I have found in the process.Conversely,if the results from the total data are not consistent with the findings from this sample,more components will need to be considered and interrogated than are present in the current hypothesis.For the second and third hypotheses,the study approach is similar to the first one.A larger amount of data also needs to be input into the specific software,such that the more detailed elements that are found,the more concrete will be the analysis and the more useful suggestions provided in the end.(https://www.daowen.com)
