结语:在广告翻译中占比很小,但仍不失为一种必选策略。再就是语言的独特风格,如有的需要重复,或修饰语累赘。 //// 六、不译
一)新企业、新品牌、新产品系列的名称以及/或老企业之新产品系列的名称往往不需要翻译,只需照搬外文名称即可。 二)广告中的某些句子

What’s in a name?
It sounds ordinary on paper. A white shirt with a blue check. In fact, if you asked most men if they had a white shirt with a blue check, they’d say yes.
But the shirt illustrated on the opposite page is an adventurous white and blue shirt. Yet it would fit beautifully into your wardrobe. And no one would accuse you of looking less than a gentleman. Predictably, the different white and blue check shirt has a different name. Viyella House. It’s tailored in crisp cool cotton and perfectly cut out for city life. Remember our name next time you are hunting for a shirt to give you more than just a background for your tie.
On women and children’s wear as well as on men’s shirts, our label says – quietly but persuasively – all there is to say about or good quality and your good taste.
Our label is our promise. 直译:
名字算什么?
写在纸上它听起来平平常常。来蓝格的白衬衫。事实上,如果你问大多数男人
他们是否有带蓝格的白衬衫,他们都会说有。
但是,下页展示的衬衫是色调大胆的蓝格白衬衫。它会为你的衣柜增添风采,穿上它没人会责怪你缺少绅士派头。可以预想,这种不同的蓝格白衬衫会有一个不同凡响的名字:维耶拉。它为都市生活选用凉爽的棉布精裁细制。下一次你寻购衬衫时请记住我们的名字,它给你的不仅是作为领带的背景。
对妇女和儿童的服装正如我们对男人衬衫的承诺,我们的品牌悄悄地动人地说,这里展示的是我们的上乘质量和你们的一流品味。
我们的品牌是我们承诺。 编译:
