This topic summarizes Chinese and foreign humor in translation studies perspective, characteristics and related aspects, sums up scholars ' research findings and deficiencies, and the problems to be discussed.

二、Literature review

（一）Discussion on translatability and untranslatability of verbal humor

In the early humor in translation studies, scholars will focus on verbal humor interpretation and discussion on untranslatability. United States humor research scholarD.Nilson that humor is translatable, France scholar r. Diot translation is considered humorous is a headache for translators of poetry and translation. Anne-Marie Laurianthink people sometimes in the same language in understanding the humor will encounter obstacles, especially in the case of cross-language translation humor is a process of compromise, translators need to put in the effort, imagination and creativity(Hu Xingbo, 2012). In China, many scholars have lamented the difficulties of translation. As early as in 1992, by Mao Ronggui, in its article mentioned in the informal discussion on the translation of English humour humor translation translation and translation, he pointed out that does not involve skills of situational humor is easier to translate and translate in non-situational humor, there's three difficult. First of all is the way in English the word "sounds" and "shape" the humor derived, followed by humor involving certain cultural backgrounds and finally the expression and appreciation of diverse. It is not difficult to see that extension of the third hardest and different cultural backgrounds. So Mr Mao should be coincided with the JeroenVandaele point of view, considered the humor comes from the language of the translation form and cultural differences in the two.

（二）Humor theory and methodology of translation

Presented by Attardo and Raskin GTVH (general theory of verbal humor) humor translation theory is considered to be guidance of methods. GTVH theory is that humor is a product of script opposition mechanism. In the same text are compatible with each other and the opposition of the coincidence of two different types of scripts had a sense of humor. In addition, five referred to as knowledge resources also contribute to produce humor. They are not used to interpret the script logic of coordination mechanisms, humorous scenes, goals or mockery and narrative strategies, refers to the language of forms. Meanwhile, Delia Chiaro in his book translation, humor and the media: translation and humour in the book points out that GTVH measureprimitive humor and the target language's similarity to provide a basis to analyze humor translation. But it can measure is the spoken humor, humor in the analysis aided by the other media, it is insufficient. In addition, between the different parameters in the theory, differentiation is not very clear.

Ouyang Feng from functional theory perspective on translation of humor-related problems were analyzed. He found that under the Nida said, if readers translations ofreactions consistent with the original readers ' reactions, we can think that translation is successful. Humorous translations for the purpose of the translation with the original as "interesting" the highest form of humor is humor translation and translators ' goal. In addition, the loyalty principle in translation of humor, he said the translator should not be considered faithful to the text itself, but should be faithful to original intent. So in order to achieve the desired humor of the original, literal unfaithfulness is faithful to the original meaning and function of maximum. This view is of great guiding significance to humorous translation. Pang Miao from the perspective of functionalism and humorous translation strategies. In his view, "for those who describe the situational humor, due to its translatability is strong, can be taken literally,for difficult translate great humor can be taken the naturalization policies and notes, and other. ”

Xu Qingli and Wang Fuxiang, published in 2002 by the explanation of relevance theory for humorous utterances and their translation in the article, first discussed from the perspective of relevance theory and humorous translation problems. Relevancetheory is related to the theory of verbal communication, communication is seen asa purposeful, intentional human activity, is a killer, reasoning and cognitive processes (Sperber& Wilson, 1986). Relevance theory in communication, the speaker tend to use direct, clear expression, so that hands down it with minimal cognitive effort to establish bilateral information associated with the best and get the maximum effect (2002). Relevance theory is not specialized in translation theory, but it can effectively explain the most complicated phenomena in the history of the universe. Xu Qingli believe the contribution of relevance theory on humorous translation is translation of validity. He believes that "associated penalties you, communicative validity throughout the translation parameters in maximum weight, followed by reliability and other relevant factors". While he agreed that "minimum requirements for translation humor is to make the target language to dialects of the recipient the recipient Receive the humorous language the joyful message of the source language, the speaker's communicative intentions and recipient of the Communicator". His view sand the functionalist theory of translation has the same wonderful, emphasis is "effect" instead of "trust". But with relevance theory in translation are not law once and for all. For example, how to determine the receiver's cognitive ability in the target language, how to find the key recipients of optimal relevance in the target language context is the application of relevance theory in translation of humorous feel part of the practice.

三、Summary

Translation of humorous interpretation and translation controversy has been gradually gave way to hard to translate and how. Scholars from different perspectives to explore the humor, except GTVH theory, function theory, relevance theory also includes select perspective of SKOPOS theory, and have achieved fruitful results. But most of these studies for oral sex, or sexual humor is pure text translation, and for animation, film and television drama less humor in translation studies. But soon after humorous translation studies will be more comprehensive, more rich, more systems.
