摘 要
近几年来， 美国音乐剧特别是百老汇音乐剧在中国市场受到了广大欢迎。但是，通过对比，我们可以发现，两国音乐剧之间依然存在较大异同。而追溯根源，英语论文，英语论文题目，主要还是源于两国文化异同。究竟两个各具特色的文化给两个音乐剧带来哪些作用呢？相比于在发源地不断发展的美国音乐剧，我国音乐剧又有哪些缺陷？从文化角度来说，我国音乐剧有哪些发展优势呢？
本文以文化异同性为理论依据，以案例略论和对比略论为探讨措施，致力于探讨中美文化异同在对中美音乐剧作用的表现方面。基于尚不完善的探讨近况，文章首先从中美音乐剧的发展史上进行系统的阐述和总结，然后在对近几年来美国音乐剧进入中国市场所依靠的文化契机方面进行简单的阐述，为后文的略论提供一个文化背景。其次，将通过对主要几部中美两国典型音乐剧著作，如《音乐之声》《如果爱》等进行略论比较，通过案例略论和比较略论的措施阐述文化异同对中美音乐剧的作用表现形式。最后，将在有关我国音乐剧日后发展方面做出自己的见解阐述，为我国音乐剧在自身改进,特别是发展本土音乐剧道路提供自己的见解。
本文不仅为有关中美文化渗透和相互作用方面的探讨提供新的思想和理论，也为中国观众在以后欣赏更多外国文化著作时提供一个背景知识补充，同时更为中国音乐剧走出本土市场向世界迈进的提供了理论基础和数据。

Abstract
In recent years, American musicals, especially the musicals from Broadway are gaining popularity in Chinese market. However, by contrast, we can find a good deal of differences between American and Chinese musicals. Tracing the difference to its source, we may find the important role that the different cultures play in the musicals. What’s the impact on American and Chinese musicals from different cultures? Compared with American and English musicals, where the musical was born, what’s the Chinese musical’s shortcoming? From the cultural point of view, what can benefit the development of Chinese musicals?
This thesis employs cultural difference theory as theoretical foundation and case studies and comparative analysis as research methods, and focuses on the impact on the two nations’ musicals from their cultural differences. Based on the not well-found study, this thesis reviews the development history of American and Chinese musicals systematically and gives an analysis of cultural opportunities by which American musicals enter into the Chinese market. Then this thesis explains the impact of cultural difference on two nation’s musicals via case studies and comparative analysis on the typical musical works form two countries, such as the sound of music from America and if love from China. At last, the author makes tentative proposals to the development and localization of Chinese musicals.
The result of this thesis will supply a new method and practical study on Sino-US cultural infiltration and influence and be able to provide more background knowledge for Chinese audience when they are enjoying foreign musical works. What’s more, this thesis will be a supplement to the theoretical basis and guiding data for the local market expansion and internationalization of Chinese musicals.
