法律用語之翻譯問題： 以影集《Drop Dead Diva》字幕譯文為例
Translating Legal Terminologies: Take Subtitles of “Drop Dead Diva” as Examples
摘要
法律影集牽涉許多法律專有名詞與法律相關知識，因此法律類影集的字幕譯文往往會有資訊密集度過高、誤譯、語意不明的問題，導致觀眾無法在第一時間就能有效率地接收影片訊息。筆者在此研究當中，選擇以熱門法律影集《Drop Dead Diva》之中文字幕譯文進行分析，並以Eugene A. Nida的動態對等理論(Dynamic Equivalence)以及Lawrence Venuti的歸化與異化理論(Domestication and Foreignization)來解決以上所提到之法律影集字幕翻譯問題。此外，筆者也會採取省略法(omission)、增譯法(addition)、直譯法(direct translation)、官方對等譯法(official equivalent)其他翻譯策略以進行字幕譯文之檢討。在結論中，證明歸化法、概化法使譯文較為易懂，也是觀眾所能接受的字幕翻譯策略。

Legal drama television series involve many legal terminologies and knowledge that cause over-translations, under-translations, mistranslations, and distorted translations in subtitles, making it difficult for audience to immediately receive the information from the drama. In this research, the Chinese subtitles of Drop Dead Diva, a popular legal drama television series, are selected to be analyzed. Besides, Dynamic Equivalence theory of Eugene A. Nida and Domestication and Foreignization theories of Lawrence Venuti will be employed to solve the abovementioned problems in translating subtitles of legal drama television series. In addition, different translation strategies, such as Omission, Addition, Direct Translation and Official Equivalent, will be used as ways to examine subtitle translation in this research. This research concludes that domestication and generalization are acceptable strategies in subtitle translation which generate understandable text for audience.
