Abstract
Nowadays, advertising, as an industry, is playing an increasingly important role in social development. Not only is it supposed to be appealing, it is also used as a tool for manufacturers to improve their products' marketability. With globalization accelerating, more and more businesses of all types are operating internationally in various ways. To survive in the fierce global market, they have to make a lot of promotions for their products in foreign markets. In this situation, advertisement translation is increasingly showing its importance. However, in all national markets, particularly in China, unsatisfying translation is appearing in media ever and again, which not only means financial loss, but also impairs the public image of manufacturers as well. Hence, it becomes an urgent task for those devoted to translation practice to seek a suitable theory for guidance. This is none other but functionalist theory explored in this paper. In the light of functionalist approaches, the purpose or the intended function of the target text is the criterion for judging a translation. Since the end justifies the means, the translator is not to be tied down by the conventional "faithfulness" strategy based on the equivalence theory. Instead, he is entitled to choose freely any means available to yield a persuasive target text. In other words, the translator is expected to bear the purpose of an advertisement in mind, and if necessary, can make free adaptations of the original text, the final aim of which is to help sell products in the target market. As long as his translation can persuade the target readers to take action, he is successful in fulfilling his task.
Key words: Functionalist; Skopos theory; equivalence; advertisement translation; translation strategies
I. Introduction
Advertising，as an important means of delivering information，英语论文，is playing an increasingly significant role in international business today .With China entering WTO and deepening its opening up to the outside world，advertising has become a crucial tool for Chinese enterprises to promote their products and probe into foreign and accepted by more Chinese people ,they also have to make a lot of promotions for their products. However ,due to language and cultural differences, though written perfectly and well accepted by receivers in its own culture，an advertisement may not necessarily be popular with customers in another country，partly because translators，more often than not，adopt inappropriate translation strategies. Thus，as a special branch in the discipline of translation，advertisement translation is gaining more attention than ever before. Accordingly，studies on advertisement are increasing.
