2、填 3 On Advertisement Translation from English to Chinese in Light of Functional Equivalence Abstract 四号，加粗，居中 小四号，加粗，居中 The theories which proposed by Eugene A. Nida have affected many Chinese and foreign translators for a long time, especially the theory of functional equivalence. Functional equiva

3、lence refers to the equivalence on the functions but not on the forms and structures. In our daily life, we live with different advertisements, some of which are translated works. These advertisements are aimed at giving the potential customers a lasting impression and persuading them to buy their p

4、roduct. Therefore, in order to express the ideas of the original works and realize the goal for sale, the translators should take account of the cultural elements and social elements in order to achieve functional equivalence. This paper consists of three parts. The first part deals with the concept

5、 of functional equivalence and its aims and principles. The main aim of functional equivalence is to represent the information of the original work in the target language and achieve the equivalence of functions of languages. In order to make this concept clear, the author gives a brief introduction

6、 of different functions. Although different languages have different characteristics, their functions are nearly the same. That is to name the reality and to communicate with the people. The second part deals with the target, principles, requirements and cultural elements of advertisement translatio

7、n. The third part, the most important part, points out the three main aspects of functional equivalence, semantic equivalence, social-cultural equivalence and stylistic equivalence. At the meantime, the equivalence on different levels and how to achieve functional equivalence in advertisement transl

The translation of advertisement pl

After entering WTO, China has been faced with 有特殊格式要求的语种除外 fiercer competition, so the advertisement has become more and more important for it is always used as the way to promote the sales of goods. The excellent adver

17、tisement is not only understandable for everyone, but also has an elegant style. It can easily encourage people to buy the goods. Therefore, a good translation of an advertisement is also important to promote the sales of the goods in the country of the target language. Most translators may be famil

18、iar with the theory of functional equivalence which is 注释用上标，systematically illustrated by Eugene A. Nida. It is stated primarily in terms of a comparison of the way in which the original receptors understood and appreciated the text and the way in which receptors of the translated text understand a

19、nd appreciate the translated text.1 That is to say, the adequacy of translations is judged on the basis of the correspondence in lexicon and grammar between the source and target languages. Functional equivalence is a powerful weapon for information exchange. The translation work which follows the p

In order to make it clear, this paper chooses advertisement translation to analyze its every aspect. Due to the differences between English and Chinese, the advertisemen

22、re more than the differences between English and Chinese. The equivalence of languages makes it possible to convert the source language into the target language. However, the convert is not just a process to translate the words from one language to another language. Translation should be a task to r

23、ecur the information of the original work in a most natural way. That is to say, translation should rebuild the surficial forms of the original information, convert the views of expression and replace the meaning of the original work with the meaning of the translated work. Therefore, equivalence is

24、 the most important basis for translation. The translated work can be of higher quality if it achieves more equivalence with the original work. Functional equivalence is originally termed as dynamic equivalence, which is to be defined by the degree where the receptor of the source language message s

25、hould respond in substantially the same way as the target language receptor to the translated version. It is very important to all kinds of translation. The reason is that English and Chinese have many differences in their forms, grammars, sentence structures and so on. Therefore, in the process of

26、translation, to convey the information of the original work is the focus and the most difficult part. After all, the receptors of the translated work expect to know the content of the original work. Functional equivalence also emphasizes the cultural elements. If a translated work does not reflect t

27、he cultural elements of the original work, it must be a failure. Therefore, the translator should be bilingual and bicultural. Nida always holds a view that syntax and lexeme are the biggest barriers for the translators.2 The translators devoted to English-Chinese translation may agree with him. Mos

Second, the concept of kernel sentence and the concept of sentence 章内标题左起顶transformation can overcome the restriction of syntax to a translator. Third, isomorphism can 格，前后各空一行，四

37、四号，加粗，居中 With the rapid development of the international trade, advertisement has become an indispensable part in our life. To some extent, it has become our guide in the aspect of consuming. No doubt, we are now living in the age of advertisement. Therefore, to translate a good and effective advert

38、isement is increasingly important for attracting the potential customers and promoting the sale of the products in the international market. Since Chinese and English are two quite different languages, the translation from English to Chinese is not an easy task. The translator should learn well the

39、cultural and social background of the original work, the differences of their sentence structures and also their habits of expression. Although there are so many differences between the two languages, the functions of all the languages are the same. That is to name the reality and to communicative w

It is just the basis for the translation from English to Chinese. , Through a relative thorough analysis of functional equivalence and advertisement translation, the readers of the essay may have a clear understanding of the details and aspects of advertisement translation. The reade

41、rs may appreciate the advantages of functional equivalence in the process of advertisement translation. Functional equivalence helps the translators overcome the barrier of translation. That is the forms and structures of the language of the original work. Advertisement translation has its special a

42、ims. It is not only for information exchange, but also for encouraging the customers to buy the products. This is the ultimate aim of advertisement translation. Therefore, the translators should not only express the accurate meaning of the original work, but also pay attention to the diction of word

43、s and the cultural elements. The translation work will fail to realize its aims if it neglects the cultural elements such as the tradition, customs and habits of the target country. The analysis of these aspects in this essay may give the readers a little enlightenment. 5 尾注用上标形式，数字后空1字符 1Notes 尾注，单
