6.7　Conclusion

In this chapter,traditional expressions (such as Chinese idioms — normally,they are four-character words,archaisms),are discussed as examples of culturally loaded expressions in E-C subtitle translations.As forms of culturally loaded expressions,traditional Chinese expressions embody Chinese culture covering a period of more than 5,000 years.Each expression is typically a summary of a moral story.Audiences who have an educational background to primary level and above will understand the meaning of these expressions and feel engaged by films and characters who express themselves in this way,so there can be perfectly good translations,which are based on formal,faithful wording.What idioms,proverbs,etc.do is “strike a chord” within the viewer,and become more subjectively meaningful to the viewer.Therefore,as the second hypothesis in this study,the use of traditional expressions in the subtitle translation of English and Chinese is approved and effective ways of using them are also suggested by me in my explanation of the results of corpus,questionnaires as well as interviews.More detailed examples offered more chances for me to outline the importance and effectiveness of using traditional expressions in subtitle translation of Englishlanguage animation films in the market.In the next chapter,I will describe types of expression used within translation in the above context,namely,popular expressions.(https://www.daowen.com)
