On Drama Translation from the Prospective of Skopos Theory ——Comment on Ying Ruochengs Translation of Teahouse Abstract: Drama is a special linguistic art targeting the stage and imbedded with cultural peculiarity. Consequently drama translation is expected to take both sides into consideration: ensuring the perform ability in target culture and transmitting properties of source culture. To fulfill these two functions, there appears a contradiction in adaptation and transmission. Only by determining the skopos of the translation of a drama can a translator skillfully solve the contradiction and approach the play with appropriate strategies. To illustrate the validity and exemplify the applicability of the skopos theory, the present paper gives an analysis of Ying Ruocheng’s translation of Teahouse within the framework of the theory, in the hope of finding some insights into the practice and the theoretical study of drama translation. Structurally, the paper consists of three chapters. Chapter One gives a general introduction to drama translation, including definition of drama, features of drama language, the contradiction in drama translation and a brief introduction of the skopos theory, Chapter Two provides information about the drama Teahouse, its the translator Ying Ruocheng and his translation. Chapter Three offers a tentative analysis of the translation of Teahouse under the guidance of the skopos theory. Then the last part draws a conclusion from the drama translation. Key words: drama translation; the skopos theory; Teahouse 摘 要:戏剧是一门独特的语言艺术，以舞台演出为目的，同时蕴含着文化特质。因而戏剧翻译也应将这两方面考虑在内：既要保证译语文化环境中的可表演性，也要传递源语文化的典型矛盾。作者认为，只有对翻译目的进行准确界定，译者才能更好的应对这一矛盾，并采取适当的策略和方法进行剧本翻译。为了验证目的论在戏剧翻译的可行性和适应性，本文运用该理论对英若成的话剧《茶馆》进行了透彻的分析，以期从其成功的翻译实践中找到有益启示。 本文由三个章节构成。第一章对戏剧翻译进行概述，介绍了戏剧的定义，总结戏剧语言的特征，指出戏剧翻译中的矛盾，并简要介绍目的论。第二章介绍话剧《茶馆》译者英若成的译文及相关信息。第三章在目的论的框架内，运用五个具体的“翻译要求”对《茶馆》译文进行了详尽的分析。最后一部分总结了基于目的论的戏剧翻译。 戏剧翻译，目的论，《茶馆》  Introduction The study of drama translation is a comparatively less
