A Study on Subtitle Translation from the Perspective of Eco-Translatology: A Case Study of Empresses in the Palace

: As a new field of translation research, subtitle translation has been studied from different perspectives. However, most of the domestic studies have mainly focused on a large number of foreign film and television works introduced in recent years, and this unbalanced situation is not conducive to subtitle translation research. In 2015, Empresses in the Palace was introduced to the United States as an original Chinese costume drama, and its subtitle translation became a new perspective for scholars' research. In addition, as a local Chinese translation theory, Eco-Translatology is also maturing. This paper takes the American version of Empresses in the Palace as an example and examines its subtitle translation from the perspective of Eco-Translatology. Through the analysis, we can conclude that the translation has generally overcome the language barrier and cultural differences well, but there are still some areas for improvement.
