摘要:随着全球经济的发展和中国的改革开放政策的实施,越来越多的中国企业活跃在国际市场。越来越多的人认识到在国际市场当中建立品牌的重要性。作为企业发展中的重要因素,品牌可以起到刺激消费和拓展国内外事业的重要作用。一个成功的品牌名称代表了企业良好的信誉,从而使产品在同类产品中脱颖而出,促进推销行为的开展。然而,在进行品牌名称翻译的过程中,人们发现存在许多东西方文化的差异。因此,翻译者在翻译的过程当中必须对目的语言国家的文化以及翻译的美学标准有一定的了解,这样才能完成一个优秀的翻译。本论文对品牌进行了概说,即对品牌名称的定义,功能和分类的介绍;着眼于翻译过程中的审美活动,讨论了翻译美学理论,并根据此推出品牌名称翻译的原则;由此根据翻译原则提出品牌名称翻译的策略。本文希望会对品牌名称翻译提供一定启发。
