我有一个关于从跨文化交际看商标英汉翻译的论题
下面是摘要和大纲
你看一下能不能有帮助O(∩_∩)O哈哈哈~
摘要
本文的写作目的是研究跨文化因素对商标翻译的影响，探讨商标翻译中的跨文化因素的特殊要求以及有关的翻译方法和特点。
商标名称是商标的重要组成部分，是商标生命力的核心所在。一个成功的商标有助于产品的推销，而一个成功的商标译名更有利于商品冲出国门走向世界。它不仅仅是一个品牌的代码，它更具有经济价值，对消费者的心理和购买决定有着重要的影响。商标名称又具有一定的文化蕴涵，此蕴涵可以是商家所赋予的，也可以是消费者的联想产生的。对同一商标，由于价值观、消费心理、文化取向的差异，不同的消费群体会联想不同的文化蕴涵。
翻译涉及到两种语言之间的代码转换，而语言与文化的不可分性，又使得翻译与文化紧密结合在一起。尽管商标名称翻译的对象仅仅是单个或多个词汇、词组，但它有着不同的要求和特点。译名必须能够实现商标的功能，既要体现产品的特点，又要迎合消费者的心理、文化、价值取向。因此商标翻译这以过程与文化因素是密不不可分的。
要想做好英汉商标翻译，首先必须了解英汉商标的基本知识，本文首先介绍了商标的基本常识，如商标的定义和功能等。商标的翻译必须符合目标市场的文化特征，如宗教信仰、风土人情、价值观念、传统习惯等。
在第二，三章中结合若干英汉商标实例, 探讨英汉文化差异在商标中的折射，并从价值观念、社会发展、宗教信仰和词语的联想意义等方面探讨跨文化因素对商标翻译的影响，叙述了音译（transliteration）直译（literal translation）与意译（free translation ）三者的特点及其在商标英汉翻译中的具体表现和影响，为英汉商标翻译提供了参考。
最后，在上述内容的基础上再次强调了跨文化因素在商标翻译中的重要性和意义。
