(Liu 2017:67)
 The focus of foreignization translation strategy coincides with the cultural turn to examine translation from a cultural perspective. Through foreignization translation, the translator can try to convey the source language culture to the target language readers, to retain the different cultural characteristics of the source language. Instead of just considering the acceptability and cultural context of the target language readers in order to better achieve the smoothness of the translation. Finally, readers can also examine the gains and losses of the translation by feeling the culture in the original, and gain a new understanding of the culture of other countries to a certain extent.

 This paper mainly analyses the cultural turn in film and television subtitle translation and illustrates it with an example of Empresses in the Palace. The writer tried to find some proper strategies to deal with culture transmission problems in visual-audio subtitle translation especially the translation from Chinese to English, which are the combination of literal translation and free translation and the combination of domestication and foreignization. Translator’s task is to make a full use of those kind of translation strategies to transmit national culture, especially in such a condition of globalization and cultural communication. Moreover, the translation of the subtitle of Empresses in the Palace can be a good example for other translators. (Jiang 2009:14)
-However, one case cannot be enough to illustrate the phenomenon of culture turn and there are few good film or television plays in Chinese, let alone the transmission our Chinese culture. Moreover, there must be more translation strategies could be used in subtitle translation, waiting us to explore.(Jiang 2009:14)

	Subtitle translation of film and television plays is a balanced art, which accurately and appropriately conveys the wonderful plot and language and cultural information to the target audience, so that the audience can obtain the aesthetic experience, but also avoid the obstacles and deficiencies of cultural exchange. The translation of Empresses in the Palace, which has attracted much attention and many difficulties, should achieve a perfect balance between the huge language and cultural differences between China and the United States, and should also combine the two translation strategies of "domestication" and "alienation". Domestication is to use the expression and cultural image of the target language to convey the original meaning and respect the language habits of the target language audience. Foreignization is to use the expression and cultural image of the source language to convey the content of the original text and highlight the “exotic style” of the source language in the translation. (Liu 2017:67)		Subtitle translation of film and television plays is a balanced art, which accurately and appropriately conveys the wonderful plot and language and cultural information to the target audience, so that the audience can obtain the aesthetic experience, but also avoid the obstacles and deficiencies of cultural exchange.

(Liu 2017:67)

−	In the subtitle translation of Empresses in the Palace, the translation strategy of "domestication" is adopted for the cultural factors that are difficult to convert, so as to avoid the obstacles to understanding caused by the translation. For the cultural factors with unique national characteristics that can be transformed, the “alienation” translation strategy can be adopted. It is worth noting that excessive foreignization translation will make the audience of film and television dramas feel obscure and difficult to understand due to the intervention of many foreign cultures, and finally lose their interest in watching. Although excessive domestication translation makes the translation easy to understand, it will lose the text characteristics and exotic flavor of the source language, and make the target audience lose the opportunity and fun to understand foreign culture. For example, the translation of Chinese network catchwords in British costume dramas, or the street speaking of the United States in Chinese court dramas, will destroy the harmonious beauty of the original film and television works.(Liu 2017:67)	+	In the subtitle translation of ''Empresses in the Palace'', the translation strategy of "domestication" is adopted for the cultural factors that are difficult to convert, so as to avoid the obstacles to understanding caused by the translation.
