摘要：音乐作为一种常见的艺术形式，承载了不同民族和不同地区的文化、情感和信仰。随着全球文化交融日益紧密，音乐越来越成为传播文化的一个重要途径。如何成功地转换不同语码的音乐，并使音乐的原有功能保持不变，是当代音乐翻译者应该重视的问题。然而，歌曲翻译历来不受重视，这就导致了市面上歌曲翻译的质量良莠不齐，歌曲翻译理论和翻译技巧也没有统一定论。通过对翻译理论的研究，作者发现了德国功能主义学派所提出的目的论对于歌曲翻译具有较强的指导意义。因此，本文作者将借用目的论来探讨歌曲翻译的标准, 以美国诺贝尔文学奖获得者-鲍勃.迪伦成名曲Blowin’ in the Wind为研究样本，结合歌曲翻译的特点, 提出歌曲翻译应循的一些原则。
