Language is a tool for people to communicate. Translators adopt different registers in distinct situational contexts. In this paper, based on the register theory proposed by M. A. K Halliday, the two Chinese versions of the movie Shawshank Redemption are analyzed respectively from the three variables of register: field, tenor, and mode.
