語域理論是系統功能語言學的重要理論之一，是語言使用的場合或領域的總稱，影響語域的因素包含語場(話語範圍)、語旨(語言基調)和語式(話語方式)。基於不同語言有不同的表達模式與文法，因此在翻譯的過程中，原文和譯文的語域分析不可或缺，有適當的語域分析和相應的翻譯策略才能使譯文表現出原文的語域特徵，才不致失了原文的本意。哈利波特系列的原著與譯本皆普及率高，對社會之影響亦大，因此本論文擇系列中之《哈利波特3：阿茲卡班的逃犯》作為研究素材。本文旨在探討《哈利波特3：阿茲卡班的逃犯》譯文之語域是否與原文相符，以及研究譯者使用之翻譯策略，以期發現整理出翻譯過程能使用之語域分析與翻譯策略。
本論文以Biber提出之構成說話情境之八項要素 (說話者角色與特質、說話者之間關係、說話情境設定、說話主題、說話目的、社會評價、說話者與對話之關係與表達之管道)來為研究素材之語域定位，而後明確分析素材之語域屬性，以原著語譯本素材之語域屬性為基礎，分析譯者在面臨語域變異時使用之翻譯策略。本論文由研究素料中歸納出七大說話情境，包括敘事、玩笑、興奮或驚訝、挑釁、生氣、擔心和思索，並分析譯者在以上七大說話情境中所使用的翻譯策略。分析後發現《哈利波特3：阿茲卡班的逃犯》的譯者在本文的研究素材中使用了四種翻譯策略，包括增字、使用不同正式程度的詞、使用不同隱喻，以及模仿原文的修辭法。其中，以增字和使用不同隱喻為譯者最常使用的翻譯策略。

Register is part of system-functional linguistics. It is the variety of a language used for a particular purpose or in a particular social setting. Elements that influence register include field (the purposes and topic of the conversation), tenor (interrelations of the participants) and mode (the channel which conveys the conversation). Different languages have different ways of expression. Therefore, during the process of translation, a translator needs to recognize the register of the source text in order to produce a target text that is close to the original text. The Harry Potter series, both the original English and the Taiwanese translation version, has been well received among the public, being influential to the society. Therefore, one of the books, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, in the series is selected as the material for this research. In this research, register in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and its translated version are analyzed, and further discussion of the strategies the translator used to handle register variation between two languages is included. In this research, it is expected to categorize the register analysis methods and the translation strategies for register variation.
The methodology used to analyze register in this research is based on the eight components of speech situation proposed by Biber in 1988, including ‘participant roles and characteristics,’ ‘relations among the participants,’ ‘setting,’ ‘topic,’ ‘purpose,’ ‘social evaluation,’ ‘relations of participants to the text,’ and ‘channel.’
Registers of characters in the materials are analyzed in this research, including both the source text and the target text, and the field, tenor and mode of the materials are also identified. The next section of analysis is to categorize the translation strategies the translator adopted to handle the register variations. Seven categories of speech situation are identified, including a) narrative, b) joking, c) excited or surprised, d) provocative, e) angry, f) worried and g) pondering. Further analysis of the translation strategies for the seven categories is included. After analyzing, four translation strategies adopted by the translator of the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban are concluded, including a) adding words, b) using different degrees of formality, c) using different metaphors and d) imitating. Among the above strategies, ‘adding words’ and ‘different metaphor’ are the most common translation strategies adopted by the translator in the research materials.
