Abstract.This paper is based on the integrated theoretical framework of multimodal discourse analysis proposed by Professor Zhang Delu , analyzing the subtitle translation of the English film W.E. from four levels of culture, context, content and expression. The relationship between linguistic and non-linguistic modes in the text has also been discussed. It has been shown that subtitle translation is a multimodal blend of text,speech and images that together form the central meaning of the film discourse and deliver effective information to the target language audience.
