谈跨文化背景下商业广告翻译赏析 【论文关键词】跨文化广告翻译 【论文摘要】在经济发展日趋一体化的当今社会，广告作为一种传播信息的方式，加强了东西方文化的交流。本文通过剖析那些跨文化背景下具有典型性的广告翻译个案，对其进行了赏析，从而加深英语学习者对商业广告翻译的认识和了解。 引言 “跨文化交际”即“cross-cultural communication（或inter-cultural communication）”。它指本族语者与非本族语者之间的交际，也指任何在语言和文化背景方面有差异的人们之间的交际。在世界经济日益发达的今天，广告作为一种传播信息的方式，既是两种语言间的交流，又是两种文化间的交流。因此，英语广告翻译的准确性、优美性，对于增强广告的效力十分重要。广告英语翻译实质上是一种跨文化交际活动，广告英语翻译是融语言翻译和文化翻译为一体的。因此在广告翻译中应对译入语的不同民族语言文化、心理文化、文化观念及文化审美予以足够的重视，从而使译文保持原广告的宣传效果。本文拟通过剖析那些跨文化背景下具有典型性的翻译广告个案，对其进行赏析，从而加深英语学习者对商业广告翻译的认识和了解。 一、英语双关语在广告翻译中的应用 双关语最早是在民间流传的趣味性文字游戏，在《朗文当代英语词典》和《韦氏新世界词典》当中对双关语的释文都不约而同的用到了“play on word”的字眼，即“文字游戏”.英语双关语是一种表现力极强的修辞手段，因而在广告中得到了广泛的应用。 例如： “in”idea in business travel-Hilton Inns. 译文：宾至如归-希尔顿旅馆。 这是希尔顿旅馆的广告，“in”表示“最时尚，最潮流的”与“inn”谐音，告诉消费者来希尔顿旅馆是最时尚的选择，另外其隐含的意思“宾至如归”表达出假如你身在旅馆的话，一定会让你感受到旅馆贴心的服务，让你感觉到舒适就像在自己家里一样。同时又点出了希尔顿旅馆的名字，达到广告宣传的作用。 ahead. 译文：成功之路，从头开始。 宝洁公司飘柔洗发水经典广告语，双关语的使用增强了广告的说服力和感染力，从而给消费者留下深刻的印象。译文洗练而内涵丰富，完美的诠释了原文。 inside.（Intel Pentium） 译文：给电脑一颗奔腾的“芯”。（英特尔，奔腾） Apple thinks different. 译文：苹果电脑，不同凡“想”。（苹果电脑） 以上两则广告均与计算机有关，而且原文中均无双关语。译者巧妙地利用了汉语的双关，“芯”与“心”，“想”与“响”谐音双关，两则广告语言机智，富于文字情趣，使商品连同广告词一起印在读者了的记忆里。 二、典故在广告翻译中的应用 1.希腊罗马神话那种“神人同形同性”的特征，深深地影响着西方人的.文化生活。许多希腊神话故事经过千百年的流传，早已融入人们的日常生活和词汇中，成为人们普遍使用的具有特殊意义的语言。在英语的广告中，就常可见到利用希腊、罗马神话典故中的人名或喻意，以满足英美人崇尚神话中英雄和神灵的文化心态的实例。 例如：美国的耐克（Nike），就是借用希腊神话中胜利女神的名字Nike，达芙妮（Daphne）品牌的鞋借用希腊神话中风姿绰约、艳丽非凡的月桂女神的形象。 2.《圣经》中包含着丰富的文化典故、警世喻理，不了解《圣经》，就很难实现英文广告的商业价值。，《圣经》的语言在英语形成过程中也占有一席重要之地，今日英语中使用的词汇，有许多来自《圣经》，至于说《圣经》中的典故变成习语进入英语语汇的例子，更是比比皆是。 例如：州农场保险公司所做的广告Like a good neighbor，State Farm is there（State Farm Insurance），便是借用《圣经·马太福音》第22章37-40节中“Love thy neighbor as thyself”（爱邻如己）的训导，于是可译为：州农场保险公司，亲如近邻。这样就把州农场保险公司可以随时为客户服务的宗旨表现得一览无遗，亲切之情，溢于言表。 三、仿拟修辞格在广告翻译中的运用 仿拟是根据交际需要，模仿人们耳熟能详的词语、句子、篇章等而临时创造出新的词语、句子和篇章等一种常见的修辞手段。许多外国广告商，在向我国进行广告宣传时，挖空心思地调查研究中国消费者的心理特征和文化内涵，创造出既能塑造产品形象，又能为中国消费群喜闻乐见的广告词来打动人心。其中很多广告仿拟中国古往今来的名诗佳句，在中国消费者心中产生共鸣。例如： know Eggsactly how to sell eggs. 这是一则售蛋广告。“Eggsactly”乃“exactly”的谐音拼写变异，与后边的“egg”遥相呼应，在语义上也相互映衬。这种别出心裁的构词游戏给消费者留下深刻的印象。 who lasts last laughs best. 这是英国一则轮胎广告，意思是“谁跑在最后，谁笑得最好”。英语中有一句谚语诫其汉语译文是“谁笑在最后，谁笑得最好”。该广告就是仿拟这句谚语而得，将”laughs”改为“lasts”。动词last的意思是to remain of use，of good condition，与同音同形的副词一道使用，突出了该轮胎坚固耐磨的上乘品质。 四、文化背景知识在广告翻译中的应用 1.汉语中，“雅”、“柔”、“娇”、“碧”、“丝”、“娜”、“莲”、“露”和“梦等词都暗含有“温柔”、“舒适”、“美丽”等语用意义，常与女性相联系，因而一些女性化妆品牌汉译名就利用这些词内含的语用意义，取得广告效应。如“Avon”译为“雅芳”，“Arche”译为“雅倩”，“Hazelive”译为“夏士莲”等。虽然这些化妆品的译名偏离了原文语义意义，但在中国广受女士们的欢迎，取得了很好的广告效果。 2.龙，在汉民族文化中不仅是美的，而是一种图腾，成为中华民族的象征，历来被视为权利、力量、吉祥的象征。然而在英 语文 化中，龙却是恐怖的怪物，不具任何美感，谈“龙”色变。“亚洲四小龙”在英美报刊上因此被变通译为“亚洲四小虎”，东风“雪铁龙”被译为Citron。 五、结语 文化的不同会造成价值观念、象征意义上的差异，反应在广告语的翻译实践活动中时，就是要求译文以符合目的地的话 语文 化为基础，以富有想象力和创造力的表现手法使商品在新市场上更具竞争力，而文字翻译与文化翻译正是实现该目标的有用策略。中西方的文化差异是客观存在的，我们应着力于在中西方文化中找到一个契合点，两种文化相互交融，从而促进商标和广告语的翻译语言深入消费者人心，激发其美好想象和购买欲望，更好地步入中西商务交流和文化交流的亮丽路径。 参考文献 [1]刘海瑛.广告翻译中应注意不同的文化因素[J].成都信息工程学院学报,2004,19.

AN ANALYSIS OF LANGUAGE FEATURES IN ENGLISH ADVERTISEMENTS 这里有一篇论文范文，其实对于广告而言通常默认就是商业的了，不必咬文字来翻译的--------------------------------此外指正一下,楼上的即使是简写写法都是错误的,广告在论文中不能写成ads这样的简写,因为论文是严肃的

广告的本质是传播，广告的灵魂是创意。 广告一词，据考证是一外来语。它首先源于拉丁文advertere，其意为注意,诱导,传播。中古英语时代（约公元1300—1475年），演变为Advertise，其含义衍化为“使某人注意到某件事”，或“通知别人某件事，以引起他人的注意”。直到17世纪末，英国开始进行大规模的商业活动。这时，广告一词便广泛地流行并被使用。此时的“广告”，已不单指一则广告，而指一系列的广告活动。静止的物的概念的名词Advertise，被赋予现代意义，转化成为“Advertising”。汉字的广告一词源于日本。 《韦伯斯特词典》对广告的定义是：广告是指在通过直接或间接的方式强化销售商品、传播某种主义或信息、召集参加各种聚会和集会等意图下开展的所有告之性活动的形式（韦伯斯特辞典1977年版）。 在现代，广告被认为是运用媒体而非口头形式传递的具有目的性信息的一种形式，它旨在唤起人们对商品的需求并对生产或销售这些商品的企业产生了解和好感，告之提供某种非营利目的的服务以及阐述某种意义和见解等（韦伯斯特辞典1988版）。 《简明大不列颠百科全书》（15版）对广告的定义是：广告是传播信息的一种方式，其目的在于推销商品、劳务服务、取得政治支持、推近一种事业或引起刊登广告者所希望的其他的反映。广告信息通过各种宣传工具，传递给它所想要吸引的观众或听众。广告不同于其他传递信息的形式，它必须由登广告者付给传播的媒介以一定的报酬。 社会学家、评论家艾君在1994年由现代出版社出版的《当代生意经》对于广告概念问题这样阐述，读完一些广告定义，不难发现有的还可以说是个较为完整的定义，有的则只是对广告的简单地判断。更值得商榷的是有的定义还没有解释清楚广告是怎么回事，解释中又重复出现了“广告”之词。或将广告当成修饰词语出现，如广告语，广告客户、广告者、广告信息……这好比张三问李四：“什么叫艺术？”李四答：“由艺术家创作或表演的作品……”。人们便会问：没有讲明艺术的定义，不知道什么叫艺术，怎么会出现艺术家？ 艾君认为，在弄清广告定义之前，首先要看看生活中的广告活动是怎样运转的。他解读为，组织或个体（广告主）为了目的（树立形象、推销产品、求购、声明、招生、求职等）依靠（付出费用）确定媒体，按规定时间、要求，真实地传播信息的活动。 从广告运转的规律、程序，艾君为广告下这样一个定义： 广告，即确定的组织或个人为了一定的目的，依靠付出费用，在规定的时间内，按照要求，由指定的媒体，将真实信息传播出去的一种交流活动。他认为，这个定义从实践中来，必然能反映广告的本质属性，也能够解释通除商业广告之外的一些广告现象。如“征婚启事”、“政府通告”、“聚会通知”等一些与经济无关的公益广告。 在中国，商业广告还没有到达颠峰，已存在着极大的泡沫成分和非理性行为；随着消费者的成熟、行业的规范，企业也会走向理性，自然会回落，启用普通模特将成为主流；同时，广告将异军突起并逐渐走向成熟，避免不了挑战。企业启用形象代言人，可能有各种目的，尤其当“子弦效应”和炒作之风盛行的年代。笔者在对形象代言人按照“准确营销”的观点进行理论总结，发现了现代市场形象代言人基本特性，用广告方式传达品牌独特、鲜明的个性主张，使产品得以与目标消费群建立某种联系，顺利进入消费者的生活和视野，达到与之心灵的深层沟通，并在其心中树立某种印象和地位，使品牌变成一个有意义的带有附加价值的符码。他通过一定的媒介或载体传播诉诸目标受众，从而在品牌如云的市场中树立和打造个性化的品牌形象。他或者通过品牌创立人独具人格魅力的形象代言，给目标受众以鲜明的品牌个性和信心；或者通过影视明星、社会名人极具亲和力的广告代言，令品牌产品迅速对目标消费群的购买施加影响；或者通过虚构人物演绎品牌叙事，传达品牌理念与价值取向，赢得目标受众的认同；或者通过漫画式卡通动物的形象代言，塑造活泼可爱、耳目一新的品牌形象，让人在相视一笑中对品牌产生美好的联想和印象。他的形象代言并不完全等于企业的形象，所以，他的走红并不意味着产品就能够走红。企业的监督与他们的配合就显得相当重要。而他们也应有自我约束的责任意识，真正融入这个企业文化，真正用心去演绎产品宣传理念，才会凸现广而告之的意思。英文The advertisement nature is propagation , the advertisement soul is an innovative idea. That word , evidence once research textually advertisement is one word of foreign origin. It originates from Latin advertere first , it's intention is guidance , propagation pay attention to. Middle English times (makes an appointment with . 1300 develops into Advertise in 1475), that it's import spreads out Hua Wei "makes a certain person pay attention to arriving at some matter " , "informs others of or some matter, to arouse others's paying attention to ". Until 17 ends of the century , United Kingdom begin to carry out large-scale commerce use personal influence. At this time, advertisement one word convenience is popular for and is put into use broadly. But "advertisement" now , already not only finger one items of advertisement, point to the advertisement activity a train of. Conceptual motionless thing noun Advertise , quilt give modern significance to , conversion becomes "Advertising". The word once originates from the Chinese character advertisement Japan. "Webster is lexicographic ", checking the advertisement definition is: Advertisement is that the finger is growing doctrine or information by the fact that direct or indirect way strengthening the marketing commodity , spreading some , open-minded possessions tells that sex flexible form (Webster under the intention calling together for participating in various party and rally etc. Thesaurus 1977 printing plate). One kind of form being regarded as the information wielding a medium but being not that the verbal form is hereditary having teleonomy in modern times , advertisement, it aims at calling up people producing the acquaintance and favorable impression to the commodity need and to the enterprise producing or selling these commodities's , some grow (Webster dictionaries such as significance and view as well as expounding the service suing that provides some nonprofit species purpose 1988 printing plate). That "concise Great Britain encyclopaedias " (15 printing plate) check the advertisement definition is: Advertisement is to spread one kind of way of information , with a view to, whose promotes sales of commodity , labour service service , gets politics support , pushes close one kind of cause or arouses to advertise be what person hopes other report. Advertisement information passes the various instrument of propaganda , transfers to audience or audience wanted to attract by it. Advertisement is unlike the form transferring information other , it must be paid to the intermediary spreading with certain reward by advertiser. The sociologist , critic Ai your "the present age business expertise " being come out by modern press in 1994 expound like this to advertisement concept problem , finish reading some advertisement definition , no difficult to find that some so to speak be comparatively entire definition, some simple however pair of advertisement field judges. Being worth deliberating more is that some definition does not make an explanation understand advertisement what's all this about, word of making an explanation middle repetition has appeared "advertisement". Or advertisement should become polishing terms appearing, if advertisement speaks, advertising client , advertisement person , advertisement information, ... This is just like three ask about Li four: "What calls art "? Four reply Li: Work "creating or performing by artist, ,'' . People just is able to ask about: Without the definition explaining art, do not know what calls art, why artist appears on meeting? The Ai monarch thinks, before making advertisement definition clear , that the primo asks advertisement in taking a look at life to use personal influence is how to move round. (, the demand setting up an image , promoting the sale of products for purpose buy the he is understood and explained in order, organizing or particular (advertisement host) , the declaration, enrolls new students , job wanted waits for support (pay cost) to ascertain a medium) , pushes down set time , the request, activity spreading information's truly. From advertisement travel law , procedure,the Ai monarch defines in order advertisement goes down such one: Advertisement, be that organization or individual ascertaining that pays cost for certain purpose , support, medium being appointed as within the fixed time, according to the request , the reason, that true information propagation goes out one kind exchange is exercised. He thinks that this comes in secondary practice of definition, can reflect the advertisement nature attribute inevitably , also is able to make an explanation exchange some advertisement phenomenon except commercial advertisement. If "the lonely-hearts ad " ", government public notice ", "get together inform equal few of " the public good advertisement having nothing to do with economy. Before China , commercial advertisement return back to a peak not getting to jolt, already existence is burning the immense foam constitutive and is not reason behavior; With consumer's maturity , the industry norm, enterprise also meeting trend reason , natural meeting make fall after rise , start using the average model will become main current; At the same time, advertisement will appear all of a sudden and the trend is gradually mature, avoid challenge without end. Enterprise starts using the image spokesman , possibility has various purpose, age thinking that "subchord wind of effect " and speculation is in vogue especially. The author has been in the summary carrying out theory on the viewpoint that the image spokesman "sells according to accurate camp" , has discovered the modern marketplace image spokesman basic characteristic property, unique , distinct individuality advocates through advertisement way janitor brand, make a product manage to build some species connection with target consumption group , enter consumer's life and ken smoothly , reach with that intelligent deep communicate with, in and the person sets up some species impression and position at heart, using a brand becomes a meaningful with additional value magic figure code. He accepts the masses by the fact that the certain intermediary or carrier propagation appeals to a target , thereby, sets up and makes the brand image individuation in the brand if the marketplace saying is middle. His image having personality charm alone possibly by the fact that the brand founds person replaces a word, distinct brand individuality and confidence are used by the masses by target; The affinity advertisement replaces a word or by the fact that the movie and TV star , the society celebrity pole have , the purchase making brand product prompt to target consumption group exerts one's influence on sb; Or narrate by the fact that the fiction personage deduces a brand, idea and value take the janitor brand face, win a target accept numerous acception; Or by the fact that image of dyadic cartoon cartoon animal replaces a word, mold lively the brand image lovable , finding everything fresh and new, lets person produce fine association and impression in looking at one each other laughing at to the brand. His image is equal to enterprise image , reason why not completely on behalf of a word , his walking makes red being going to being able to be in favour not implying a product. The enterprise supervision and their composition appear pretty important right away. They also should have but the self-control responsibility mental consciousness , melt really to enter this corporate culture, real intention goes to deduce a product propagating idea, only meaning that can bulge cash publicizing

on English Translation of commercial ads如果做题目的话，我觉得这样就OK了
