In the context of globalization, film subtitle translation can be seen as an intercultural communication. Excellent subtitle translation is artistic and cultural, while rough subtitle translation is often not deep enough to make it difficult to understand what the movie wants to express. Therefore, functionally equivalent, high-quality subtitle translation is particularly important. According to Nida's definition, dynamic equivalent translation is not equal to the traditional "free translation" or "living translation", because dynamic equivalent translation has strict requirements, it requires the accepted text to be as complete as possible in different language structures. Reproduce the purpose of the original text. Film translation is not only a language activity, but also a cultural exchange.

Jeremy Munday (2011) pointed out in a chapter in Introducing Translation Studies that subtitle translation can achieve functional equivalence in terms of language form, culture, pragmatics and aesthetics according to the characteristics of film subtitles. From the perspective of functional equivalence, the specific translation method should be determined by the principle of functional equivalence between the target language reader and the original reader.

Zhou Chong (2015) published a master's thesis A Practical Analysis on the Movie Subtitling Translation Based on Functional Equivalence Theory and concluded that the difference between film translation and ordinary literary translation is significant, with time, space and style restrictions, requirements The subtitle translator makes a big "change" to the source text in order to make the film easier to understand and appreciate by the target audience. The popularity of film as an art requires subtitle translators to translate appropriately in accordance with the acceptance level, language habits and cultural background of the target audience. This means that in the process of subtitle translation, the translator should strive to achieve Nida's "functional equivalence."

Jiang Yingying (2010) analyzes several linguistic features of American drama in his published journal On American Series Subtitle Translation and the Related Translation Skills: Subtitle Translation in the Perspective of Functional Equivalence, and translates subtitles of American drama through functional equivalence theory. The strategic skills should be analyzed, and it is pointed out that the translator should accurately reproduce the cultural connotation of the source language in the target language with the first two aspects of dynamic equivalence and the close proximity to cultural connotation as the principle of translation. That is to say, in translation, in addition to the lexical and syntactic dynamic equivalence, the expression of culture and style should be kept as consistent as possible with the original language, but at the same time, the domestic audience must watch the subtitles while plotting the plot. The culture achieves a full understanding and thus better appreciates the American drama.

Zhang Jingfa (2011) in the journal On the Principle of "Functional Equivalence" in the Translation of Films clarified that the film as a "popular culture" with sound and painting, its translation requires the translation to reflect the original text in terms of words and sentences. The style and cultural connotation, so as to achieve the equivalent effect of the original text. At the same time, the immediacy and colloquial characteristics of the film are also important elements to be considered in the practice of film translation. Through re-creation, the language can communicate the audience's feelings while conveying the original information. Film translation should be guided by Nida's "functional equivalence" theory and standards, and flexible use of various translation strategies to maximize the original film's information, aesthetics and other functions as well as the original film's appeal and aesthetic value.

Nowadays the development of globalization is more and more obvious,the communication between cultures also becomes more and more frequent.As one of the most important ways to understand foreign culture ,film subtitle translation also has become one kind new field of translation,and Nida’s functional equivalence theory emphasizes the response and feelings of readers in particular.At present, the subtitle translation of Chinese movies is not uniform. It depends on the translator's language ability and artistic accomplishment. There is no scientific and procedural means to ensure the quality of film subtitle translation. Domestic research in this area is not deep enough. We need theoretical guidance, and Nida's functional equivalence theory can help in this regard.

This paper aims to combine these two plates,It also points out the practical value and guidance of functional equivalence theory in film subtitle translation. Firstly this paper will briefly introduces the functional equivalence theory and the features and difficulties of film subtitle translation, and analyze the status of application of functional equivalence theory in film subtitle translation,finally will analyze and discusses the methods,strategies and skills of film subtitle translation.
