One of the powerful trends in developing contemporary translation theories is to employ linguistic theories to settle translation problems. Register is an important theory in Systemic-Functional Grammar, characterized by three main dimensions of variation, namely field, tenor and mode. Subtitling translation is one of the most frequently used devices of audiovisual translation. Due to the differences between English and Chinese, the accuracy and appropriacy of subtitling translation are essential to cultural comprehension and interaction in the English movies. This paper attempts to originally explore the expressions of the three areas in the subtitling translation in the movie Green book and demonstrate the instructional role of register theory on movie subtitling translation. Through the analysis, a better cultural understanding of subtitling translation in foreign movies within the framework of register is available and further implications on cross-cultural translation from the standpoint of linguistics can be reached.
