GTVH benefits the study of humour translation by providing an analytical framework of six Knowledge Resources which include Language(LA), Narrative Strategy(NS), Target(TA), Situation(SI), Logical Mechanism(LM) and Script Opposition(SO). The hierarchy of Knowledge Resources is used to make an analysis of the internal structure of humour and Relevance theory functions as a translation theory to check whether the translation is appropriate to achieve optimal relevance. Taking the translation examples from British TV sitcoms"Yes, Prime Minister"and"Little Britain",the thesis probes into the most important Knowledge Resources in these three kinds of humour respectively, analyzes the loss and gain of humour reproduction in fansubbers' translation and makes a few adjustments to some inappropriate translation versions to"achieve the maximization of relevance".展开更多
