题目：英语广告的特点及翻译策略
一、选题依据：(背景与意义、国内外研究现状与发展趋势)
背景与意义：
随着经济全球化的进一步加快，国际经济的进一步发展带动了广告业的腾飞，英语广告翻译日益成为翻译学研究的重要组成部分，广告翻译的发展对国际贸易的发展不言而喻。广告是商战中的有力的武器，广告英语是一种专门用途的英语，他与普通英语有着较大的差别，本文结合大量的实例，从广告英语的语法特点、句法特点和修辞特点三方面分析了广告英语的特点，并浅析了其翻译策略 。英语广告翻译作为翻译学的一个新的领域，引起了众多的翻译工作者和研究人员的注意，发展仍然不够成熟和完善，这篇论文正是针对这一系列的问题提出了英语广告的特点和英语广告的翻译策略等重要意义的课题。从而为英语广告的翻译提供了有效的途径，为众多的翻译工作人员提供了重要的借鉴，同时也推动广告业及广告翻译事业的长足发展。
国内外研究现状与发展趋势：
在国际商品贸易发达的今天，广告也日益具有国际性。从一种语言到另一种语言，广告的翻译既要保留原文的精华，又要符合消费者的心理。与其他翻译不同的是，上述目的要在对一个广告语的翻译中实现，这就需要运用语言，营销以及美学方面的综合知识。在翻译的过程中应根据广告的特点，选用适当的表达方法，使译文在表达出原文全部信息的基础上，充分体现原文风格和表现形式，再现原文风貌。
目前，英语广告的翻译比英语文学的翻译起步晚，发展不成熟，随着国际品牌打入国内，英语广告的翻译成为翻译领域的重要课题。目前国内外的学者已经对英语广告的翻译有了广泛的研究，《文学及语言巨献》杂志中多次刊登了中国的诸多学者关于广告英语翻译策略的文章，并且通过大量的鲜活的例子对具体的翻译方法做出了说明，虽然英语广告翻译的研究已经在国内外取得了显著的成绩，但在国内市场上，有的商家谋利心切且翻译人员也只是粗制滥造，使的众多品牌广告的翻译不够准确有的甚至偏离产品原本别具匠心的宣传口号，实际上是不利于商业和广告翻译事业的发展。因此了解英语广告的特点，提出并发展英语广告的翻译策略是迫在眉睫。
二、主要内容：(要解决的问题，主要思路)
英语广告的翻译是翻译学的重要领域，因此英语广告翻译策略也是翻译领域所要解决的头等大事。本论文从英语广告的特点出发提出了不同的英语广告的翻译策略，力求寻求最佳的翻译策略，用不同的翻译方法处理不同类型的广告，使译文收到同原广告词同样好的宣传效果力度。随着经济全球化的发展，国际经济合作和交流的进一步加强，广告在国际市场上的作用也逐渐凸显，对应于广告翻译的要求也与日俱增，因为英语广告的翻译水平直接影响着商品在消费者心目当中的形象，进而直接遏制了商品的流通和国际间的经济交流和合作。
严复根据自己翻译的实践在《译例言》一书中对翻译提出了著名的“信、达、雅”标准，基本要求是忠实、通顺，英语广告的翻译亦然如此，通过准确的翻译达到对产品广告的二次创作，从而达到广告的宣传作用，由于国际交流和合作的进一步加强，广告事业迅速发展，对英语广告的翻译需求量和质量的要求也越来越高，因此对英语广告的翻译理论的改进和提高提出了更高的要求。本文根据英语广告的诸多特点，提出了英语广告的翻译方法和策略——直译，意译，音译，增译，缩译，转译……旨在进一步提高对英语广告的翻译水平和准确程度。

how to deal with ellipsis in english-chinese translation
i. purpose and significance
with the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. however, the differences between english and chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.
it is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in english-chinese rendition. translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.
according to the oxford advanced learner’s english-chinese dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. what could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.
some words and phrases are useless in chinese but necessary in english. articles in english are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. they are very important in english, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in chinese. ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic chinese. the paper will explore ellipsis in english-chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among china and english-speaking countries.
ii. literature review
long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. in china, xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the sanskrit sutras into chinese, but introduced the first chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand china’s ancient culture. meanwhile, he was the first to translate lao tses works into sanskrit. indian scholars had a high opinion of xuanzang, "in china, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that xuanzang is the first great translator."(ye lang, ) we can say that it was xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. then, some big countries such as america, china, and so on became a melting pot.(gu zhengkun, ) people have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.
with china’s entry into wto and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. a lot of foreign tourists come to visit china. while traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. sometimes, they even feel confused. a lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. all of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (ma zuyi, ). i am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. the love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. but every time when i have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.
communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. in order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. of course, translation is one of them. all translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(gu jinming, 1997) from my perspective, they really have done a great job. and i want to retrospect the cause of their development. after a thorough evaluation, i choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from english to chinese, then i did the following jobs.
i put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then i found that it is a common case in english and chinese which draws much academic interest. in 1976, halliday and hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. this classification exerts great influence in academic circle. thereafter, ellipsis in chinese and english has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. this kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in chinese and english.
another famous theory to explain ellipsis is economy principle. economy principle was put forward by chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his generate crammer. it maintains that language and linguistic study follow economy principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. this principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.
in this thesis, i think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. and in both english and chinese, people advocate brevity. shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). however, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(hua xianfa,)these functions distribute in both english and chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both english to chinese and chinese to english translation.
i found that when chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in english to chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. they consider that it is a common phenomenon that chinese always leave out personal articles. while it is obviously different in english that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. that is because when we translate from english to chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. however, it never happens in english. from this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into chinese.
in my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. however, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in china, and we have less influential chinese translators in the world. therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.
iii. feasibility analysis
this academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:
1.i have great interests in the way of english-chinese translation.
2.i have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .
3.i have collected enough references both chinese and western on ellipsis in
translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.
4.i have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.
5.i have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate english competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise english.
6.my instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject i havechosen.
iv. problems of the research and solutions
1. problems
despite the references i have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in english-chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. what’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in xinjiang, i will have to make full use of my present resources. also, this is the first time i have ever written such a serious academic paper. i am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.
2. solutions
(1) i shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the internet as well.
(2) i shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that i have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.
(3) when i have difficulties in the writing process, i shall consult my instructor and seek for help.
