摘要:成功的广告对于商品市场来说是非常重要的。在当今的国际化经济环境之下, 特别是面对着各种各样不同国籍、不同民族和不同文化背景的消费者, 如何为你的商品合理地运用广告成为重中之重。
在这个经济全球化的时代,各个国家之间的经济活动日益频繁,每个商家都企图通过发展国际市场从而提升其产品的销售量。其中尤为重要的方法,就是利用广告宣传让他们的商品闻名于世界各地。无可否认的是许多民企都不懂得如何创造英语广告,他们不会聘请专业的翻译机构,而是去找一些非正规的翻译人员翻译,这就导致了广告翻译的素质偏低。因此,许多翻译者都会犯一些令人难以理解的错误。本论文就是以广告翻译的背景为开端,简单回顾语义翻译的历史,在前人研究的基础上,通过对一些广告翻译实例的具体分析,研究出四种翻译策略,作者希望本论文能给翻译工作者提供一些建议。在当今国际化的市场中,广告翻译扮演着一个重要的角色,它决定着商家是否能顺利地扩张国外市场。因此,广告翻译已经成为一种值得学习的文化。
