Abstract: As one of the key modes of audiovisual translation， subtitling is characterized by a complex process and multipeople involvement. The subtitler， a key professional in subtitling， usually works in three modes: a spotters mode， a translators mode and an integrated mode. Drawing upon the characterisitics and theories of subititling as well as its industrial reality， this study endeavours to anatomize the subtitlers three work modes， weighing their pros and cons， and exploring their technical and language skills required. Through a comparative study， the paper affirms the integrated mode and the subtitlers role with multitasking skills， with a view to laying bare the dynamic development of labor division in this industry.
