Eco-translatology, Flipped, subtitle translation, three-dimensional transformationsAbstract
In an era marked by intensifying global interactions in film and television culture, audiovisual works emerge as crucial vehicles for cultural dissemination. The quality of subtitle translation directly shapes cross-cultural audiences’ comprehension and acceptance. Constrained by time, space, and cultural differences, subtitle translation often faces dual challenges of language conciseness and meaning preservation. This study employs the Eco-translatology as its framework and uses the film Flipped as a case study to explore how film subtitle translation achieves balance among linguistic, cultural, and communicative ecosystems through “multi-dimensional adaptation and selection” The research aims to provide practical reference for enhancing cross-cultural audiovisual communication effects and concretizing applications of Eco-translatology.
