论中英文歌曲歌词的差异
英语流行歌曲翻译中的问题与处理
本科毕业论文题目：英语流行歌曲翻译中的问题与处理学院: 外国语学院专业: 英语学号: 200914118093学生姓名: 张迪指导教师: 朱明炬日期: 2013年5月26日摘要因其独特的文学价值和音乐价值，歌曲被普遍认为是一种特殊的艺术形式，具有很高的审美价值，能够提供给观众以享受。
近年来,一大批优秀的英语流行歌曲已经涌入中国，然而巨大的语言障碍阻止许多中国歌迷欣赏这些音乐，也构成一种中西方之间文化交流的障碍，所以英语歌曲的汉译是极其重要的。
遗憾的是，在中国，歌曲翻译一直被忽略很久。
翻译理论和实践在这一领域发展非常不成熟。
歌曲都是在几乎没有任何理论或原则的指导下翻译的，因此，许多翻译歌曲的歌词旋律和节奏失去原始的审美价值，有些英语原创歌曲经翻译后甚至完全无法歌唱。
本文经过分析得出，英语流行歌曲汉译存在“文化差异”、“词义确定”、“特殊语气翻译”、“过度异化或归化”和“美感丧失”等翻译困难或难题，针对这些问题，文章提出了“合理处理韵律”、“保持句读一致”、“保持音节数一致”、“保持功能对等”四条翻译原则和“直译”、“意译”和“改译”等翻译方法。

In recent years, a great number of excellent English pop songs have been introduced into China; however, the existence of the huge language barrier prevents a great many Chinese fans from appreciating these songs and also constitutes an obstacle to the cultural exchanges between China and the west. So, the work of translating English songs into Chinese is extremely important. Regrettably speaking, in China, song translation has long been ignored and the translation theory and practices in this field are very immature. Songs tend to be translated almost without the guidance of any theory or principle, and as a result, many translated songs lose the original aesthetic value in lyrics, melody and rhythm; besides, still more are not even singable because they do not match the original music.After careful analysis, this paper concludes that the problems of translation of pop songs from English into Chinese are mainly “cultural differences”, “identification of the meaning”, “translation of special tone”, “overforeignization or overdomestication” and “having no sense of beauty”. To solve these problems, it is suggested that the “reasonable processing of the rhythm”, “in accordance with the original structure”, “b eing polysyllabic”, and “functional equivalen ce”should be followed as translation principles and “literal translation”, “free translation”and “adapting translation” may be employed as translation methods.Key words: translation; English pop songs; problem; solutionContents1 Introduction (1)2 Problems in the Translation of Lyrics of English Pop Songs (2)2.1 Understanding of the Lyrics (2)2.1.1 Cultural Differences (2)2.1.2 Identification of the Meaning (3)2.2 Expression in Translation (5)2.2.1 Translation of Special Tone (6)2.2.2 Overforeignization or Overdomestication (6)2.2.3 Having no Sense of Beauty (7)3 Solutions for the Translation of Lyrics of English Pop Songs (9)3.1 Principles for Song Lyrics Translation (11)3.1.1 Reasonable Processing of the Rhythm (11)3.1.2 In Accordance with the Original Structure (12)3.1.3 Being Polysyllabic (13)3.1.4 Functional Equivalence (13)3.2 Common Methods (15)3.2.1 Literal Translation (15)3.2.2 Free Translation (15)3.2.3 Adapting Translation (16)4 Conclusion (16)Bibliography (18)Acknowledgements (20)Problems in the Translation of Lyrics of English PopSongs and Solutions1 IntroductionWith its unique literary value and musical value, song is widely acknowledged to be a special form of art, which possesses great aesthetic value and offers the sense of enjoyment to audience. In recent years, a great number of excellent English pop songs have been introduced into China; however, the existence of the huge language barrier prevents a great many Chinese fans from appreciating these songs and also constitutes an obstacle to the cultural exchanges between China and the west. So, the work of translating into Chinese English songs is extremely important. Regrettably speaking, in China, song translation has long been ignored for and the translation theory and practices in this field are very immature. Songs tend to be translated almost without the guidance of any theory or principle, and as a result, many translated songs lose the original aesthetic value in lyrics, melody and rhythm; besides, still more are not even singable because they do not match the original music.（廖志阳，2008）In light of this situation, we should first identify what problems exist between English pop songs and listeners. Before that, we are supposed to know what English pop songs are and how they emerged and blossomed. Pop song, or definitely speaking, pop music, is a kind of music that often borrows elements from other music styles including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country and is professionally produced and packaged, the goal of which is to be pleasurable to listen to rather than to have much artistic depth. The term “pop song”is first recorded as being used in 1926, in the sense of a piece of music having popular appeal. Throughout its development, pop music has absorbed influences from most other genres of popular music. Early pop music drew on the sentimental ballad for its form, gained its use of vocal harmoniesfrom gospel and soul music, instrumentation from jazz, country, and rock music, orchestration from classical music, tempo from dance music, backing from electronic music, rhythmic elements from hip-hop music, and has recently appropriated spoken passages from rap.（佚名，2013）Now, wherever you are, you can easily see pop music (MTV), listen to pop music (voice of songs), think of a piece of pop music (melodies or lyrics) and sing up pop music (songs).(Nord, 2001)Since reform and opening up, a great number of English pop songs have come into China to appeal to the Chinese youth. However, because of the differences of culture and language and the ability of translating English songs into Chinese, there are some problems in the translation of lyrics of English pop songs. (Nida, 2001)2 Problems in the Translation of Lyrics of English Pop Songs2.1Understanding of the LyricsUnderstanding is the premise of translation. The difficulty of understanding is mainly derived from the following aspects:2.1.1 Cultural DifferencesTranslation is to render from one language into another. It is well-known that there is a very close relation between language and culture. People in different cultures have different ways of thinking. Sometimes the same thing in different cultures may have opposite associative meaning. Let us see some lyrics in Sting’s “Fields of Gold”:See the West wind 看西风吹过Move like a love song 像首爱的歌Upon the fields of barely 轻抚广阔的原野Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth 当你吻她的双唇会感到她的渴望West wind in the Chinese’s eyes is cold and dry, and people always do not expectits coming. But in this song Sting praises “her” with enthusiasm. If the translator is not familiar with British culture, he will feel confused and have difficulty in translating. Because of geographical location, west wind in Britain is warm and moist just like spring breeze in China, (Nida, 1993) always makes a person feel warm and cordial. Just like this verse, there are a lot of praising poetries of west wind in Britain. However, if “west wind” is literally translated into “西风”, which is more likely to keep its cultural connotations, the Chinese readers will not know that “west wind” in Britain is mild. For another example, in Andy Williams' “Moon River”: “Two d rifters, / off to see the world. / There is such a lot of world to see, /we’re after the same rainbow’s end.”“Rainbow’s end” literally means “the end of the rainbow”, but it has its cultural meaning. In western legend, the gold can be dug at the end of the rainbow. Combined with the background of this song, it is the episode of the film “Breakfast at Tiffany”, which is a rural girl’s story of striving for the life of high society. So the last sentence should be translated as “we look for treasure together”. If “the end of the rainbow”is literally translated, readers will not be able to understand its actual meaning. (周芳, 2009)2.1.2 Identification of the MeaningWord is the most active and most basic element in the language. Those who had some experience of lyrics translation often have such feeling: understanding of a certain word may be the key to the understanding of the whole text. What's more, the vocabulary and grammar of English language are totally different from those of Chinese, sometimes making identification of words’ meaning quite difficult. （罗慧，2005）Firstly, there’s the extended meaning. Michael Baton sang: “Said I love you, /but I lied” in one of his songs. “L ie” is meant to cheat, but it would never mean this here, Baton is not to say that “love”. Having experienced the feeling of the singers, one will understand it as: I want to say I love you, but failed to express my love bravely and clearly. Therefore, that “lie” is translated as “S peech is not fluent” is more appropriate.(Brown, 2004)Joe Cocker sang a song named “Out of the Blue”, some lyrics of which are: “Out of the blue. / Out of this love for you”. “Blue” in English represents sad and depressed, and here “Out of the blue” should be translated as “forgetting sadness.” To translate well, the translator must be fully aware of the extended meanings of words or phrases. If the translator can’t see the implied meaning of words, the translation won’t be accurate and it can even be puzzling. （胡凤华，2007）Secondly, there is the question of the existence of several meanings in a single word. English words often have multiple meanings, so in translation that which meaning should be selected sometimes is not clear. Michael Jackson sang a song called “Jam”. “Jam”has the meaning of “trouble”. The lyrics in songs say: “The Nation to Nation, /All the world, /Must last come together and Face the problems, /That we see, /Then maybe somehow we can work it out, / I asked my neighbor, / For a favor, /She said later, /What has last come of, /All the people”. “P roblems” is easy to make people think of trouble. If we translate like this, the “Jam”seems to be a negative song. But it looks like that Michael does not want to give a person this kind of feeling. In the MTV, many people of different skin colors are playing basketball in a warm atmosphere. From the context, it can be said that what Michael wants to express is: people all over the world through basketball get together to solve common problems. “Jam”in English also means “Slam Dunk”, so here it had better be translated as “Slam Dunk”. Thirdly, slang and colloquialism can be a problem. There are a lot of slang words in English, which are hard to be translated correctly without full and correct understanding. In “Seasons in the Sun”:“Goodbye Papa please pray for me, I was the black sheep of the family”. If “black sheep” is translated into “sheep in black”, how strange it will be. “Black” is the color of mourning. “Black sheep” has the meaning of “spendthrift”, so it should be translated as “败家子”.（何高大、陈水平，2009）Besides, frequently-used and non-standard expressions are also difficult to understand. There are some English words which are not standard but commonly used. Such as in Sinned O Connor's song called “Nothing Compares 2 U”, there are somelyrics like this: “Since U took your love away”and“Cos Nothing Compares 2 U”. U = you here, or U=to you. Even though it is unreasonable, it is lively and interesting. “2 Bad” in “History” in Michael Jackson’s album had better not be translated into “two Bad guys”. In fact 2 Bad = Too Bad. This kind of lazy writing also reflects the characteristics of American black culture. “Bad” in American slang has the meaning of “great”. Here “2 Bad” should be “so great”. （陈历明，2010）Last but not least, flexible syntax in English is also a problem. English has such flexible syntax. Attributive, for example, can be word, phrase, or clause, and it can be at the front or rear. For another example, in order to make the sentence concise or avoid repeating, parts of the sentence in English are often omitted or changed into a pronoun. Because of the melody, the need of cooperating with rhythm and the characteristics of spoken language in the English songs, the form of expression is more flexible and hard to identify.（吕锴，2011）Many years ago Celine Dion sang the theme song of “Titanic”---“My Heart Will Go On”. The first three sentences of lyrics are “Every night in my dreams, /I see you, / I feel you, /that is how I know you go on”. They were translated into “夜夜在我梦中，看见你，感受你，我的心仍为你悸动”. The first two sentences mean that Rose and Jack live in Rose’s dream every night, s howing that the first sentence: “Every night is in my dreams” is omitted. But from below “That is how I know you go on”, “Far across indicates the short, And Spaces betwee n us, you have to show you go on”, especially “Once more you open, /And feel you are here in my heart”, Rose is clearly to say: Jack travelled through time and space, came into Rose’s dream, opened the door, right here, in “my” heart. So “in my dreams” is the rear attributive for “Every night”, and in translation it should be put to the front. The three sentences are suggested to be translated as:“在我梦中的每个夜里，见到你，感受你，所以我知道你并未远离。

英汉歌词翻译浅析
英汉歌词翻译浅析作者：张馨元来源：《现代交际》2017年第09期摘要：伴随对外文化交流的深入，越来越多的西方歌曲引入中国，国内的很多流行歌曲也开始在国外广为流传，同时，人们对歌词翻译的要求也越来越高。
本文在总结前人研究的基础上，结合中英歌词翻译的原则，指出影响中英文歌词翻译的要素以及中英文歌词的翻译策略。
通过对一些事例简要分析，希望可以给英语学习者或者有关学者相关的启发和帮助。
关键词：歌词翻译翻译原则翻译难点中图分类号：H315文献标识码：A文章编号：1009-5349（2017）09-0082-01歌词翻译可行性的讨论应该集中在其标准和功能上。
严复在1989年提出“译事三难：信、达、雅”，后来翻译界将这三原则作为一种翻译标准。
就歌词翻译而言，译者不仅需要达到这三个标准，更需要力求达到“雅”，这是对歌曲翻译的更高层次要求。
歌词的翻译要力求做到尽善尽美，在忠实原文的基础上，体会原作想要表达的境界。
一、中英歌词翻译原则在中英歌词翻译过程中，可根据具体情况对歌词翻译作出调整，但是无论采用哪种翻译方法，都需遵循以下四项原则：（一）忠实原作所谓忠实原作就是严复先生所指的“信”。
在中英歌词翻译中，译者应该尽量将原版歌词的风格原汁原味地奉献给听众，理解歌中的意境和美感。
如“兜叉叉装上你相片片，心里呀就像猫爪抓挖”应将其翻译成“Keeping your photos in my pocket，just like a cat's paw at my heart”，这样的译文既展现了原曲中的修辞格，又表达了与原曲相同的风格。
（二）准确自然歌词翻译要准确自然，即“达”。
翻译的准确性是译者首先应该具备的品质。
由于中西方文化的差异，有些东西在东西方表达的意思是完全不同的。
如在《爸爸去哪儿》中，“谢谢你关顾我的小怪物”，这里的小怪物是对孩童的昵称，是一种爱意的表达，而非可怕的事物，如果我们将其译为“monster”，其在外国文化里指可怕的怪物，很可能会造成误解，破坏了原曲的语境和表达的内容。
文体学视角下的英文歌词汉译研究
文体学视角下的英文歌词汉译研究一、引言英文歌词是音乐语言的重要部分，它们不仅代表了歌曲的情感和意义，还是文化和社会的反映。
而英文歌词的翻译则是一项具有挑战性的任务，需要考虑到双语之间的语言和文化差异。
本文将从文体学的角度出发，研究英文歌词的翻译问题，以期更好地理解和欣赏英文歌曲。
二、文体学视角下的英文歌词翻译1. 文体学概述文体学是研究语言和文学作品的学科，其核心是对语言文本进行分析，探索文本的特点和风格。
在英文歌词翻译中，文体学可以帮助我们更好地理解原文歌词的文体特点，并在翻译过程中保持文体的一致性。
2. 英文歌词的文体特点英文歌词的文体特点主要体现在以下几个方面：- 诗歌特点：英文歌词通常采用押韵和节奏感强的形式，具有诗歌的特点。
- 情感表达：歌词经常表达情感和感受，带有强烈的个人色彩。
- 语言表达：歌词中常常出现修辞手法和象征性的语言表达。
3. 英文歌词翻译的挑战英文歌词翻译面临着诸多挑战，主要包括以下几个方面：- 语言差异：英文与中文有着不同的语法结构和表达方式，翻译时需要考虑到两种语言之间的差异。
- 文化差异：英文歌词中的文化元素与中国文化有着差异，翻译时需要进行文化转换。
- 文体转换：英文歌词的文体特点在翻译时需要予以保留，而这也是翻译的难点之一。
1. 保持诗歌特点在翻译英文歌词时，应尽量保持原文歌词的诗歌特点，包括押韵和节奏感。
这需要译者有一定的音乐感和诗歌修辞的功底，能够巧妙地运用中文诗歌的形式和特点来表达原文的诗意。
2. 注重情感表达英文歌词中经常表达情感和感受，翻译时应注重情感的表达，并尽量保持原文歌词的情感色彩。
可以通过选择合适的词语和句式来传达原文歌词中所蕴含的情感。
3. 处理文化差异在翻译英文歌词时，需要处理好原文歌词中的文化元素和中国文化之间的差异。
可以考虑进行文化转换，将原文中的文化元素转化为中国读者容易理解的形式，以便更好地传达歌词的意义。
4. 保持文体一致性四、具体案例分析下面以一首英文歌曲为例，分析英文歌词翻译的具体问题和策略。
从翻译美学角度看英文歌曲的汉译

对于英文歌曲的汉译却是一个相对较少被重视的领域。
很多时候，我们所听到的汉译歌词可能并不准确，也无法真正传达原歌曲的美感。
从翻译美学的角度来看英文歌曲的汉译，是十分重要而有意义的。
从音乐翻译的角度来看，英文歌曲的汉译需要尊重原曲的音韵美感。
有些词语在不同语言中的发音和音韵可能存在差异，因此在汉译过程中需要选用恰当的汉语词汇来保持原曲的节奏感和韵律感。
在英文歌曲中常常能够听到一些押韵、重音和速度感很强的歌词，这些都是原曲的音韵美感的体现，汉译时需要充分考虑这些元素，以保持原曲的音乐风格和魅力。
从文化翻译的角度来看，英文歌曲的汉译需要尊重原曲所表达的文化内涵。
每首歌曲都会受到其所处文化环境的影响，其中的一些词语、习惯用语甚至是隐喻都可能与特定文化有关。
在汉译时，需要充分理解原曲的文化内涵，选择恰当的汉语词语来表达原曲的情感和意境。
如果译者能够将原曲的文化内涵妥善传达到汉语歌词中，那么听众在聆听时就能更加贴近原曲所要表达的情感，提升了歌曲的审美价值。
从语言翻译的角度来看，英文歌曲的汉译需要注重表达的准确性和流畅性。
英文和汉语是两种完全不同的语言体系，因此在翻译时会存在不同语言结构和表达方式的差异。
译者需要灵活运用汉语的表达方式，使译文既能忠实于原文的意思，又能流畅自然地表达出来。
在这个过程中，译者需要注意译文的语言风格和语气，以保持原曲的语言特色和情感表达。
从美学翻译的角度来看，英文歌曲的汉译需要注重制作的艺术性和气质感。
一首优秀的歌曲不仅在于其旋律和歌词，还在于其美感和气质。

通过对歌词的巧妙处理、用词的精准把握和句式的变化，译者能够让汉译歌词更接近原曲的美学品质，带给听众更深层次的享受。
从翻译美学角度来看，英文歌曲的汉译是一个需要综合考量各种翻译因素的复杂过程。
歌词语篇的英汉语码转换现象多维分析
歌词语篇的英汉语码转换现象多维分析导言：随着全球化的发展，音乐作为一种跨越语言和文化的艺术形式，逐渐成为世界各地人们交流和理解的媒介。
在歌词中，语言的转换成为一种常见现象，特别是英汉语之间的转换。
本文旨在从多个维度分析歌词语篇中的英汉语码转换现象，探讨其中的原因和影响。
一、歌曲题材和受众的影响1. 题材的多元性：不同类型的歌曲偏向于使用不同的语码，如流行歌曲常用英语表达，民谣歌曲则倾向于使用汉语。
这种差异主要是因为流行歌曲的目标受众广泛，而民谣歌曲更倾向于本土化。
2. 受众喜好与语码转换：歌曲的语码选用往往与受众喜好有关。
许多中国歌手或乐队在英语歌曲中加入汉语片段，以便更好地与国内听众进行交流。
一些被翻译成英文的中国歌曲也受到国外听众的喜爱。
这种转换能够满足听众对多样化音乐的需求。
二、文化差异与语码转换1. 翻译与本土化：当中文歌曲翻译为英文时，为了保持歌曲的意境和文化内涵，会使用适当的语码转换。
相反，来自英语歌曲的翻译可能会选择采用汉语俗语或成语，以使歌曲更贴近中国文化。
2. 社会价值观念的差异：不同文化拥有不同的价值观念，这也会影响歌曲中的语码转换。
中国歌曲常常关注情感和人际关系等主题，而英语歌曲则更倾向于表达个体主义和自由等价值观念。
因此，在不同文化中重新编写歌词是很常见的。
三、语言特性与语码转换1. 语音、发音和韵律的差异：中文和英文在语音和发音方面存在明显的差异，这也导致了在语码转换时的一些问题。
一些音节在英文中不存在，而一些发音则没有对应的中文音素。
这种差异会促使歌手和词曲创作人员在歌词转换时做出一些调整。
2. 文法结构的差异：中文和英文在文法结构上有较大区别，例如英文中使用时态和数的变化较为复杂，而中文则没有这种变化。
在歌词转换过程中，为了适应歌曲的韵律和押韵，可能需要对歌词进行必要的调整和修改。
结论：歌词语篇的英汉语码转换现象在多个维度上存在着明显的原因和影响。
题材和受众的差异、文化差异以及语言特性的差异都是这种现象的重要影响因素。
从翻译美学角度看英文歌曲的汉译
从翻译美学角度看英文歌曲的汉译随着全球化和网络的普及，英文歌曲在中国的流行度越来越高，而对英文歌曲的汉译也受到了越来越多的关注。
对于喜欢英文歌曲的中国人来说，能够理解歌词的意思是非常重要的。
如何准确且美观地将英文歌曲翻译成中文，需要考虑到翻译的美学问题。
从翻译的角度来看，英文歌曲的汉译需要兼顾对原文歌词意义的准确理解和对中文语言的艺术表达。
翻译不仅仅是简单地将英文歌词逐字逐句地翻译成中文，更需要考虑到如何在汉语的表达方式上，更好地传达出原文歌词的意境和情感。
从美学的角度来看，英文歌曲的汉译需要注重诗意和韵律。
歌词本身就是音乐的一部分，而歌曲中的韵律和节奏非常重要。
在翻译过程中，汉译歌词需要符合中文语言的韵律和节奏，让汉译歌词在音乐演绎的过程中更加自然流畅。

关联理论视角下英文歌曲中译对比
关联理论视角下英文歌曲中译对比作者：孙茜，杨奔来源：《卷宗》2014年第05期摘要：关联翻译理论认为翻译是一种明示-推理交际，其包含了两个明示-推理交际过程，第一过程设计交际者与作为意向受众的译者间的交际；第二过程涉及译者与意向译语受众之间的交际。
本文从关联翻译理论的视角出发，以阿黛尔的歌曲Some One Like You为例，对比分析了此歌曲官方与网上流行的两个汉译本，以期待对歌曲翻译做出有价值的参考。
关键词：明示-推理交际；翻译意图1.引言翻译是一种语言使用和交际活动，和日常语言活动所不同的只是它涉及到两种语言，是一种语际信息交流。
翻译是一个对语言进行认知推理的交际过程。
因此，将关联理论作为指导翻译的语用翻译理论，在关联理论的框架下对流行歌曲翻译这一交际过程进行研究，能够全面、科学地理解话语。
本文以阿黛尔的歌曲为例，以官方版本的翻译和网路上流行的诗经版进行对比，在关联理论的视角下讨论英文歌曲汉译。
2.关联理论及最佳关联关联理论是一种交际理论。
Sperber 和Wilson（1986）从认知心理的角度研究语言交际，指出语言交际是按一定推理思维规律进行的认知活动，是一个明示一推理过程。
斯波伯和威尔逊把关联看作是一种心理属性，是认知效果与认知努力的结果，是假设与语境之间的关系。
格特（1991）在其论文关联与翻译：认知与语境中提出了一种全新的关联翻译理论。
他指出，翻译是一种言语交际行为，是与大脑机制密切联系的推理过程，而推理所依据的就是关联性。
关联性取决于处理努力与语境效果。
最佳关联性就是话语理解时付出有效努力之后所获得的语境效果。
依据关联理论：人的认知以最大关联为准则，而语言交际则以最佳关联为取向。
在语言交际过程中，人们能够理解话语靠的就是关联性。
任何一个交际行为都传递着最佳相关性的假定和期待，听话者总是以最小的认知努力来获得最大的语境效果，并以此推导出说话者的交际意图（苗兴伟，1997）。
3.歌曲中关联理论的理解以及英译中认知推理过程翻译研究者王建国（2009）创造性地提出了推理空间等距原则：即翻译必须能够再现原作者对其意向读者所做出的设想，让译语读者能够与原语读者一样在识别原作者的信息意图时具有同等的推理空间。
中美音乐对比英文作文
中美音乐对比英文作文英文：When it comes to comparing Chinese and American music, there are definitely some differences to consider. First of all, the styles of music in each country are quite distinct. Chinese music often features traditional instruments suchas the erhu and guzheng, while American music tends tofocus on guitars, drums, and other Western instruments.Another difference is the language used in the music. Obviously, Chinese music is typically sung in Mandarin or Cantonese, while American music is sung in English. Thiscan affect the way that the lyrics are written and the overall tone of the music.One thing that both Chinese and American music have in common is their ability to evoke emotions in listeners. Whether it's a Chinese folk song or an American pop ballad, music has the power to make us feel happy, sad, nostalgic,or any number of other emotions.Personally, I enjoy both Chinese and American music, but for different reasons. Chinese music has a unique sound that I find very soothing, and I appreciate the cultural significance behind many of the songs. On the other hand, American music is often more upbeat and energetic, which I enjoy when I'm in the mood to dance or exercise.Overall, I think it's important to appreciate the differences between Chinese and American music, while also recognizing the universal power of music to bring people together.中文：说到比较中美音乐，肯定有一些不同之处需要考虑。

Shake it off BY Taylor Swift
I stay up too late
Got nothing in my brain
That*s what people say
That*s what people say
I go on too many dates
But I can*t make them stay
At least that*s what people say
That*s what people say
But I keep cruising
Can*t stop, won*t stop moving
,.
It*s like I got this music
In my mind, saying it*s gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I*m just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Heart break is gonna break, break, break
And I think it*s gonna fake, fake, fake
Baby I*m just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
I never miss a beat
I*m lighting up my feet
And that*s what they don*t see
That*s what they don*t see
I*m dancing on my own
I make the moves as I go
And that*s what they don*t know
That*s what they don*t know
But I keep cruising
Can*t stop, won*t stop moving
It*s like I got this music
,.
In my mind, saying it*s gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I*m just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Heart break is gonna break, break, break
And I think it*s gonna fake, fake, fake
Baby I*m just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you been getting down and out about the liars
And the dirty dirty cheats of the world
You could have been getting down to this sick beat
My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She*s like oh my god
But I*m just gonna shake
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won*t you come on over baby we could shake, shake
,.
Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I*m just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off. Shake it off
Heart break is gonna break, break, break
And I think it*s gonna fake, fake, fake
Baby I*m just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
从以上两首现最新最火的流行歌曲中我们不难看出，中文歌曲歌词较为优美，较
为含蓄，修辞手法运用的恰到好处，让人有身临其境之感，感情丰富，使听众融
入其中。而英文歌曲则是比较火热比较直白，描写的画面也很少，大多数是对真
实事物的反应。
四.结论得出
中英文歌曲歌词差异较大，原因大致有以下几点：
1.宗教信仰的不同
2.处事方式不同
3.思维习惯不同
4.感情表达方式不同
5.词汇的文化不同
