16、home and abroad1.1The current situation of lyrics translation at home and abroadAt present, the guidance of translation theory is applied to songs which is relatively single.A majority papers of discussing songs translation have focused on certain kinds of foreign translation theory, one of the most

17、 common translation theory is the Eugene A.Nidas functional equivalence and the school of German skopos theory .For example, in Jinli s article of Under the Teleological Perspective of Chinese and English songs translation (2010) , she combined with the three laws of teleology, discusses the princip

18、les and steps of the songs translation, she made a proposal that the song translations should treat the teleology as guide; Deng Shu Jing (2007) are also use the functional translation theory as the theoretical framework ,and then her thesis writing songs for the English translation of the problem.

19、In the existing articles, the use of this theory is not wide enough at the same time，and the depth and breadth of the research are also need to be further tapped.Second, the songs translation research methods, there are still insufficient. Many articles are use examples to analysis, comparative anal

Only on the basis of the theory of science song translation, can avoid the shanzhai song translation again in the future practice.Training related talented person, the difficult in songs translation caused the accumulation of specialized expertise and research in the translation trans

27、lation practice is not enough. More and more people are actively learning a foreign language, people can take advantage of the huge talent basic people, opening with a song translation-related courses to address the scarcity of expertise. For example, the music and the translation industry can work
