摘要随着经济全球化的不断加深,各国之间的交流日益频繁,越来越多的西方产品也逐渐受到中国用户的青睐。广告作为宣传产品行之有效的手段之一,尤其是英文广告的汉译译文,对西方产品在中国市场的推广起着至关重要的作用。
中国内地、香港与台湾三地由于文化背景、翻译习惯以及审美价值的区别,对商业广告的汉译也呈现出不同的特色。对两岸三地商业广告翻译区别以及特色的探讨,有助于两岸三地广告翻译经验更进一步的交流。本研究以目的论为理论基础,以苹果公司的最新的英文广告及其中国大陆、香港、台湾三地的译本为语料,通过该课题的研究,了解两岸三地广告翻译之间的差异。根据对比所得出的差异与问题,针对广告翻译的特点及发展趋势,提出在广告翻译中应当遵循的翻译原则与建议,同时探讨两岸三地如何根据自身不同社会与文化环境下,求同存异,顺应各自的目标市场。
