動作片比起其他類別的電影出現粗俗用語的機會更多，原因是動作片常出現火爆衝突的場景與情節，粗俗用語因而被演員用來加強衝突的情節。本研究旨在探討動作片英進中的粗俗用語字幕翻譯所運用的策略。
本研究依照嘉登(Gottlieb)所提出的十個翻譯策略模型:補述(expansion)、改寫(paraphrase)、直譯(transfer)、重述(imitation)、轉述(transcription)、轉換(dislocation)、濃縮(condensation)、略譯(decimation)、刪除(deletion)、放棄(resignation) 比較《玩命關頭8》台灣與大陸的字幕翻譯。
研究結果顯示，台灣的字幕翻譯中，轉述(transcription)使用的最頻繁，而大陸的字幕翻譯中，直譯(transfer)使用的頻率最高。台灣的粗俗用語字幕翻譯，結合了許多在地方言與時下流行用語，透過較為貼近觀眾的翻譯，提升動作片的娛樂效果。大陸的粗俗用語字幕翻譯，多半使用直譯，較少融入在地方言和時下流行用語。另一方面，台灣和大陸的字幕翻譯沒有使用重述(imitation)和放棄(resignation)，因為大部分的粗俗用語已經有既定翻譯，而翻譯也會因為當地風俗文化，譯成只有特定的觀眾群才理解的語言，因此，粗俗用語並不需要重述原文，也未遇到需要完全放棄原文與無法翻譯的情況。

Coarse language is more commonly seen in action films than with any other genre because in some intense scenes, characters are likely to use more emotional language. This thesis aims at discussing the translation of English to Chinese in terms of coarse language subtitle strategies used specifically in action films.
This thesis applies Gottlieb’s categories (1992), which include the strategies of expansion, paraphrasing, transfer, imitation, transcription, dislocation, condensation, decimation, deletion, and resignation to examine both Taiwan and China’s versions of subtitle translation.
The analysis shows that transcription is the most frequently used strategy to deal with coarse language in the Taiwanese subtitles, while transfer is the most commonly used strategy in the Chinese version. According to the findings, the Taiwanese subtitles are mostly rendered into local dialects, i.e. Taiwanese, and trendy words. The subtitles are expressed in a way which is closer to the daily life of the audience, thus enhancing the entertainment value of the action film. However, the Chinese versions of the subtitles were more likely to use direct translation, with little local dialects or trendy words being used. On the other hand, the translation strategies of imitation and resignation were not used to render the coarse language in both Taiwan and China’s versions of the subtitles. The reason for this is because imitation is used to render identical expressions or proper nouns and resignation is used in untranslatable elements. This study is aimed to analyzing coarse language, wherein most words already have fixed translations or are rendered into local dialects, so imitation and resignation are not used to render the source texts.
