27、ingly important in our daily life. With the development of international communication, transnational commodity marketing, and the obvious growth in the number of business operating worldwidely, the ads translation is more necessary and significant. The fulfillment of the function of the ads transla
28、tion is closely related with the cultural background. As to the ads translation, many principles and approaches has been used, in which the domestication and foreignization are the most controversary. In Germany Schleiermachers words: here are only two methods of translating, either the translator d
29、oes not bother the original author and leads the reader to approach the aurhor or the translator tries not to bother the reader and leads the original author to approach the reader. (Schulte-Biguenet, 1992:42 ). Foreignization used in ads translation can help people beyond ones cultural border, impr
30、ove the openmindness, and cultivate the translational awareness. Domestication used n ads translation can make the advertisement more acceptable and understanding, so as to promote the sale of the commodity. Accordingly, the thesis will first will provide some information about the ads translation,
31、including its features, rules, influcing factors and so on. Chapter two will make a introduction of domestication and foreignization, and discuss the advantages and disavantages of each approach. The last part of the chapter two will make a comparison of the two methods of ads translation. Chapter t
32、hree discusses the practical use of domestication and foreignization in ads translation. Lastly, we will get the conclusion that domestication and foreignization are both significant in ads translation. Domestication is more common, and makes the ads more acceptable, Foreignization is more internati
33、onal, and will exert its maximal function within apposite degree.Key words: advertisement; domestication; foreignization; translationDomestication and Foreignization in Advertisement Translation. Introduction Language, as a primary tool of communication, is an important part of culture and a carrier
34、 of culture. So, translation, as a bridge between two different languages, not only means translating the language, but also means translating the culture. Language and culture are closely connected. Consequently, translators must have an excellent familiarity with the culture of the source language
35、 and the target language so as to be able to choose the appropriate words to express the correct idea and process of the original writer. Generally speaking, there are two basic ways of translation, which are the source-language-culture oriented and the target-language-culture oriented. The two appr
36、oaches can also be called the domestication and foreignization. The German translator Schleiermacher said that: “There are only two methods of translating, either the author doesnt bother original author and leads the reader to approach the author or the translator tries not to bother the reader and
37、 leads the original author to approach the reader.” (Schulte Biguenet, 1992:42) The discussion about the two methods have existed for many years and still not come to the end today.A. Advertisement and the Ads LanguageThe advertisement is a kind of comprehensive, commercial and common art, which is
38、composed of the trade marks, topics, ads words, and pictures. Being different from the literary works, which pay more attention to the expression of the feelings of the author, the ads always try to meet the needs of the customers and cater for their tastes. All the ads words are about making the cu
39、stomers satisfied so as to achieve the purpose of promoting the products to the public and convincing the potential customers to buy them. The advertisement is not only a commercial phenomenon but also a cultural practice. Different and specific cultural elements are contained in all kinds of ads, e
40、specially the ads of the international commodity or service. The ads are also a tool of cultural transmission.1. The Basic Requirements for TranslationDifferent writing style has different translating rules and requirements, which are decided by the different purposes and functions of the specific s
41、tyle. As to the ads translation, the basic and popularly known requirements are naturalness, exactness, and understandability. The three basic rules can reflect the aim of the ads and its linguistic and cultural features. Language is the medium to transmit information; the translating language shoul
42、d completely tell the information of the source language so as to get the expected functions and effects of the source text. The naturalness of the translation means to express the information of the source text by an approach that is fluent, habitual, and acceptable to the target reader, and can re
43、duce the strangeness of the reader. In addition, the foreign cultural elements can also be transmitted to the target customers in the original use as long as they are educated enough to accept them. The exactness is also necessary in the process of transmitting the products information; otherwise, t
44、he inaccurate information will finally mislead the potential customer, and bring negative influences to the benefits of the cooperation. For example, in China, the package of the food often writes the words “开袋即食”, and many English translation is “open and eat immediately”. However, the word “immedi
45、ately” means doing something in a few minutes, but in fact it means the food doesnt need to be processed anymore, the dish is finished, and the correct translation can be “ready to be served”. Only by correctly translating the ads, can the ads be zoetic. To touch the heart of the customer and attrac
46、t more buyers in a short time, it is significant for people to understand. Nowadays, people are walking faster with bigger steps, less man have enough time to think about the obscure ads message, so the easier to understand the less difficult to catch the customers attention. In addition, the cultur
47、al elements in ads are always difficult to transmit in a way that the target customers are familiar with. More young people are likely to touch the foreign culture in the most original way, so in some specific situations, the ads translation can be more novel, and neednt be domesticated.In conclusion, all the requirements of ads translation are based on its communicative value. Advertisement is a kind of communication, as long as the target customer can understand, the translation can produce the effects as close as possible to the original ads, or make the customer ac
