Translation of Advertisement,3.1 Difference Between English and Chinese Advertisements 3.2 Translation of English Advertisements 3.2 Translation of Chinese Advertisements,3.1 Difference Between English and Chinese 1)英语广告语言客观具体，突出信息功能(informative function)；汉语讲究以言感人，偏重呼唤功能(vocative function)； e.g. Ideas for life. (Panasonic电视) 实现您的梦想 In touch with tomorrow. (Toshiba电器) 沟通未来，超越时空 绿色好心情 Feel it now.,2)英语广告强调用户至上，消费者利益高于一切，突出You-Attitude，因而形式上多用You-Form；汉语突出企业至上，以我为中心，但惯用第三人称表达，以树立其形象，博得用户的依赖； 衣食住行，有龙则灵 （建设银行龙卡） Your everyday life is very busy, Our Long card can make it easy. 一册在手，纵览全球。（全球杂志） With a copy of The Globe in your hand, the world unfolds before you so grand.,3) 英语行文简洁通俗，便于记忆；汉语表达夸张，充满评述性话语； e.g. It gives my hair super shine, super body, and leaves it smelling fresh as a meadow.（Shampoo） 它令我秀发柔顺光滑，褶褶生辉，幽香飘逸，犹如绿茵草坪，清新芬芳。,3.2 Translation of English Advertisements,Flowers by Interflora speaks from the heart.

(2) Applying “Dabao” morning and night, makes your skincare a real delight. 译文（1）简洁，意思上虽然差的不是太多，但不像广告语言。原文中对仗押韵和琅琅上口的特点全然没有表现出来。 译文（2） 堪称精妙，但是“早晚”的双关意义并未体现出来。同时，大宝系列中有“日霜”“晚霜”，原译文只是用了小写“morning and night”所以在某种程度上缺少了广告中推荐的功能。 （3） Applying “Dabao“ MORNING and NIGHT makes your skin soft and bright . Dabao you will prefer, sooner or later. 有双关，也有押韵。双关体现在MORNING and NIGHT 上面，根据产品特点及对使用者的调查，消费者一般在早上、晚上使用。Dabao you will prefer, sooner or later 又作了意义的补充。,Back,IV.
