With the blending of the global culture and rapid development of film industry, a great number of English films flood into China’s market. Chinese audiences have enjoyed a wide range of foreign cultures and customs, and subtitle translation is very important in the transmission of different countries’ cultural information.

According to Skopostherie, film subtitle translation is a kind of activity with certain purpose; here the “purpose” refers to the communicative goal of target text. The purpose of subtitle translation is to transmit the relevant information to the addressees and help them understand the film in the most effective way within the limitation of time and space.

Then it applies Skopostheorie into subtitle translation from the perspective of the basic rules—skopos rule, coherence rule, fidelity rule and cultural-specificity, making a detailed analysis of film subtitle translation of Kungfu Panda.
