A Causal Analysis of the Difficulties in Advertising Translation

页数 29 字数 8286

Abstract


Through probing into the characteristics of advertising language and the functions of advertising in modern society, which attach superior importance to advertising translation, this paper aims to discuss the difficulties that arise in advertising translation and analyze the causes for these difficulties. The analysis of the difficulties in advertising translation is guided by the Skopostheorie which views translation as a purposeful activity. In advertising translation, the target addressee’s perception is decisive in attaining the goal of advertising, and the target addressee’s cognitive environment causes difficulties on different levels of language and culture in advertising translation. Moreover, this paper looks into the causes of these difficulties, as the result of the differences in culture, phonology and graphitic, semantics as well as rhetorical devices in advertising translation. Finally, the author suggests that these difficulties in advertising translation are resolvable through the translator’s efforts made in a better understanding of translation process across language and culture.
