چکیده

Translation quality assessment has become an important area to assess the quality of a translation. Indeed, translation as a product has to be measured by some form of quality control. As a method to evaluate the quality of a translated text, House’s revised model of translation quality assessment, is utilized in this paper to assess the quality of the English subtitled Iranian comedy movie, The Lizard, composed by P. QasemKhani and directed by K. Tabrizi in 2003, in order to realize two issues: first, to determine if the House’s model can be applied on humorous texts and, second, to know how much the English subtitle was successful in transferring the function, especially interpersonal function, of the source text which abounds with cultural and religious factors that do not exist in the Western societies and cultures. The result of the study implied that the humorous effect of the source language has not been recreated in the target language; it has been completely ruined. The results indicated that the mentioned model is not applicable on humorous texts because it does not take cultural and religious factors into account, but focuses only on linguistic features. The analysis has indicated that the English subtitle of the comedy is an overt translation.
