Thus, problem have emerged .A good trademark can be a tremendous asset to the enterprise;in the other hand, a bad mark can bring about heavy l
14、osses.Therefore,trademark translation must be taken in account.Mark for some people may still be a comparatively new concept! Some people think that their companys own products do not need to go to trademark translation，as long as people buy my stuff ! But everyone knows that in this era of informat
15、ion industry and a strong brand awareness,how important trademarks for businesses is!About the literature translation, all discuss the translation standards.It always has a popular view in our country ,says the letter,faithful,elegant,expressive.In other words, accurate, smooth,expressive meaning.Th
16、at is must be faithful in the original works , expresses the original intention and spreads its charm.But the so-called charm,refers to the original works of the style，the flavor, i.e. writer artisticindividuality and characteristic.The trademark translation also should take the reference by this.A
17、commercial company use trademark for its product naming and distinguishing the mark . The trademark,similar to humans name,represents the commodity .Many international famous trademarks already became the enterprise intangible asset and great wealth,therefore the business always tried to excavate th
18、e commercial charm of brand name.By the Chinese gymnastics prince Li Nings name naming LiNing; sporting goods series, placed the enterprise to have to strive for success the spirit by Li Ning to change the Chinese sports series thing backward the aspect, the pursue world first-class product enterpri
19、se spirit.LiNing; the sign regarding them, not only is a trademark, but also is an enterprise spirit abbreviation.Well-known brand “Gold Lion”now becomes a well-known in the world, but, Mr.Zeng Xianzi ,its founder of the former Trade Marks has some bitter experiences.“Gold Lion”trademark was first n
20、amed as “Golden Lion ”and happily the two “Golden Lion”tie gave him a Hong Kong relatives,who did not refuse his gift,not pleased, saying: gold lost,gold lost,gold up all the lost! So, in Cantonese,the term “lion”and“lose ”homophonic, naturally unpopular. The evening,Mr Tsang racked their brains for
21、 the“Golden Lion” changing the name.Finally come up with a good approach: the “Golden Lion ”of the English name “GoldLion” translation into translation and transliteration by combining, or “Gold|”is still free translation for the “Golden”and “Lion”transliteration of“Lee to”.namely “Gold Lion ”, Kim
22、and Lee together,who are happy listening. As a result,“Gold Lion”trademark was born. Mr Tsang suddenly thought: Chinese people rarely use a brush to write in English, I use it to write, will not do a very special font? So he used a brush to write a “GoldLion” words,let the designer process, is now,“

24、w,ways of thinking and value orientation,there are many differences.Because of different languages and cultures,so the word mark translation must go through an assimilation,absorption,transformation process.It requires the translator translate the word in the trademark process,not only to understand
25、 the literal meaning of words, but also aware of its cultural connotation of the load and avoid conflict of cultures. Trademark translation, as a cross-cultural exchange activities,placed in front of the translator is that the target language readers first issued of the admissibility of trademarks,H
26、ow to cross-cultural context that is different this gap,as fully as possible the intention of the makers mark to convey to readers of different social backgrounds. In the process of translation,if lack of cultural awareness,and having just moved bilingual type conversion, regardless of culture inher
27、ent in the meaning of the conversion accordingly, translation of the very few cultural meaning and associative meaning,and sometimes even also give rise to unexpected reaction,products can not be sold to become a full translation of the lost.The following detailed analysis with some examples will ex
28、plain. In China,East Wind (wind) brand agricultural products,can be described as popular,is not new for everyone in the country . However, in the United Kingdom ,it is unpopular. For this translation,the British geographical environment is different,the British described by the“ west wind”is the war
29、m, business abundant wind, not our last night west wind withered Bi Shu in the“west wind”.Moreover,the British equivalent of Chinas Dongfeng-westerly winds, Britains Dongfeng is Chinas westerly or north wind.The translator did not understand the differences between geographical environment and its t
30、ranslation from the British welcome the natural.China has a lipstick mark called “Fang Fang”,in China the name is indeed very good, our people saw,“Fang Fangword”can not help think of beauty in my mind: not only seem to see one of Huarongyuemao young girls,and they seem to smell the aroma hit her wh
31、ole body.But its trademark Otozawa into pinyin “Fangfang|”a look at the hearts of English readers could not help but sense of health to play a terrorist,because fang happens to be an English word,its meaning is along, sharp tooth of a dog. They do not imagine a painted lipstick girl,but her claws, p
32、oison scattered a vicious dog or a snake,like the Chinese people see the green surface ape teeth,“Phantom”As the translation of this major flaw, lipstick sales probably is not difficult to imagine.An export batteries trademark called“white elephant”, English translated into“White Elephant”,should sa
33、y yes to one hundred percent correct.They know a white elephant,he is a regular English phrase,meaning“heavy burden” (a burdensome possession)or“useless and cumbersome“stuff”(useless). However,the “polar bear trademark to “White Bear is the success of the pen. Cha compiled by Beijing Foreign Languag
34、es Institute,“Chinese-English Dictionary, “White Bear is the English translation of the first Polar Bear,because it is the scientific name,the second English translation is the white bear.So trade name will be translated into a Polar Bear,like nothing wrong.But with the recent changes in the interna
35、tional political situation. Polar Bear (Polar Bear) has been otherwise, it is easy to treat it as a nickname and a political force with the worlds link,it is still a good translation of White Bear.3. Trademark features of the languageIn modern society, old and new products one after another come abo
36、ut,the world is full of trademark language,trade language refers to the combination of the word mark and trade mark in all the text information, including the brand name,trademarks, graphics on the characters or their distortion,Pinyin or its abbreviation,foreign language translation or its abbrevia
37、tion. But the trademark of languages is not able to enter the hearts of the audience,and some trademark lauguages are easily accepted,keep close track of their products;for people they turned a blind eye rather than filling smell.Merchandise language loses its meaning. Trademark language is a specia
38、l kind of language,have distinctive features. 3.1 Symbolic. The symbolic mark has two meanings: First，the identification mark must have a high degree of cohesion and profound allegory. Corporate image,entrepreneur spirit and enterprise product characteristics cohere in the brand identity,not only im
39、plicate corporate image and corporate character，but also in the hands of the consumers trust and hope.It has been mentioned in the previous text.“LiNing brand should take the fighting spirit of Li Ning,change the backward situationentrepreneur spirit.trademark is of a good communication.No matter wh
40、at media to convey,it is a look at the hint.Mark coheres,concentrates corporate image and conveys the spirit of enterprise in order to truly represent the enterprise,truly enterprise tag function.3.2 Unique. In Chinas sports series and pursue after world-class products of the Generally,a word is the
41、 element of logo mark. This word did not exist before you use.In trademark review,the issue is called “significant,that is unique. Only this ,then give a strong visual impact and appeal to achieve the purpose of identification and recognition.In other words.it is impossible to have two same trakemar
42、ks exist in market.3.3 SimplicityMark must be compendious, which is very key for trademarks, but also the minimum requirement.Only simple,solemn,profound, novel and unique trademark will be accepted by consumers and popular with entrepreneurs and the public.Many well-known brands are very simple and
43、 easy to remember and propagate,such as the Nike logo - a Komagari.3.4 Artistry The so-called trademark language artistry, that is,sound, shape and meaning all have a certain aesthetic beauty to humans and make people pleased.The sound of beauty is catchy,the look of beauty pleases ones eyes and the

45、munity, with the development of the times ahead of the development.So mark must adapt to it,at the appropriate time to conduct a reasonable adjustment in order to avoid being eliminated by the times.3.6 StabilityMark should also have the stability.This may seem incompatible with the times, but in fa
46、ct they are not contradictory,trademarks, when established, the companies hope that their product trademarks are remember and love forover, and then insist on buying .A trademark will not change easily,especially successful ones, which shows that trademark has a stability.4. Trademark English transl
47、ationIn order to make translated trademarks and original trademarks equivalent,the translato，like literary one,should use different translation methods,and strive toward maximizing the practical effect of translations,the voice ,the word shaped,meaning beauty and historical and cultural significance to be a vivid and accurate reproduction of the artistic ideas,has always been thought through. The artistic and aesthetic translation of trademark lies in the unique design,graceful，accurate vivid language,profound artistic co
