Abstract

Foshan Cantonese opera has now had a profound impact around the world. Yet, it faces some challenges in its further dissemination. To propel the further dissemination of Foshan Cantonese opera in the context of globalization, the translation of Foshan Cantonese opera into English has become an important research topic. The research team investigates the current status in the English translation of Cantonese opera, and conducts a series of theoretical studies concerning the English translation. Based on the investigation of the current situation in the English translation of Foshan Cantonese opera, the research team explores and proposes some effective ways for its translation and dissemination to the foreign countries.
