ABSTRACT
This paper aims to apply Nida's functional equivalence theory to the study of the English version of Selected Poems of Li Bai, translated by the well-known Chinese professor Xu Yuanzhong. Some typical poems will be taken as research examples, and be analyzed from phonetic, semantic, contextual, and pragmatic perspectives. The aesthetic art of Xu Yuanzhong's translation will be appreciated in this way, and it will be proved that Nida's functional equivalence theory is significant to Chinese translation practice too, especially to poetry translation; its principles of translation also provide a clear guidance to the eva luation of translated works.
Key words: functional equivalence; Selected Poems of Li Bai; Xu Yuanzhong
