论商标名称的翻译_吕万英
商标是企业、事业单位和个体工商业者为区别其产品或商品所使用的标志[1]。商标一般是由文字、图形或其组合组成,注明在商品、
商品包装、招牌或广告上。商标的作用在于维护商标注册人的权益和信誉、促使商标注册人保证商品质量,便于消费者选购[2]。商标是人们认识产品的重要信号。人们认识产品不仅要依赖于产品的外形———颜色、形状、气味等特征,还要借助于语言文字即商标的名称。对于企业来说,商标名称的好坏给消费者心理上的影响是不同的。好的商标名称能够增强企业的市场竞争力,成为企业再投资的一笔宝贵的无形资产,同时还在一定程度上表现产品的企业形象[3]。
一个产品要在外国打开销路,必然要有附合当地语言习惯的译名。由于不同国家具有不同的文化背景和语言体系,同一商标名称对于不同语言习惯或文化背景的消费者来说,其涵义也许相差甚远。文化差异导致商品滞销的情形各国都有。由于不了解目标市场的语言文化,使得原本有较好形象的产品商标由于新的消费者的误解成了滞销品。比如美国的汽车工业就曾多次有过这种经历。雪佛莱公司的
Nova牌汽车在西班牙语国家就很不受欢迎,因为它
的发音酷似西班牙语中的“nova”,意思是“它开不动(Itdoesn’tgo)”。福特公司曾试图将它的“Comet
Caliente”
汽车推向墨西哥市场,但在墨西哥俚语中,它的意思为“妓女”(streetwalker),所以这种汽车销
量一直不好[4]。
我国企业也曾有过类似的尴尬。如“五羊”牌商标,本无可挑剔,广州是羊城,“五羊”孕涵着一个有趣的传说,羊在中国有表示健康的说法,但译成英文FiveGoats(山羊)就不妥。“Goat”

意译法是指把原商标词的实际意思翻译成意义相同或 相近的目的语,在进行意译的时候,要注意挖掘原商标、 品牌的内涵,在原语的基础上找出最准确、优美的商标 词。例如:Bluebird 蓝鸟(汽车),Blue Ribbon蓝带 (啤 酒),Apple苹果(计算机),Camel骆驼(皮鞋), Crocodile 鳄鱼 (皮具),Shell 壳牌(润滑油), American Standard 美标(洁具),Tiger 虎牌(运动 鞋),Good Companion 良友(香烟),Playboy花花公 子(服饰),OMO 奥妙(洗衣粉)等等。
Translation principles
4.Pay attention to cultural differences, consistent with the cultural custom(注重文化差异,符合文 化习俗)
中国的传统文化中,吉祥如意是颇具特色的一个重要组 成部分。所以,在英文商标汉译的时候,应多使用一些 诸如 “吉”、“利”、“喜”、“祥”、“福”、 “安”、“康”、“百”等喜庆吉祥的字眼.
The source of the brand name
4、臆造词。根据一定的意图,借助某种构成法或完全 按照主观臆想,凭空杜撰一些新词也是一种常见的品 牌命名方式,如:Kodak(柯达),让人联想到按下快 门的一瞬,具有动感的声音;Haier(海尔)与higher 谐音,意为更高更好的;Supor(苏泊尔)与super谐 音,意为极好的

• Vocative function means the brand names must be
easy to pronounce and to remember so as to make a deep impression for the consumers and make a purchase. This function should be put in the first place in a market-oriented economy.

Definition of Brand Names • Brand name, referring to the vocative part of a trademark, is a symbol that makes a distinction among the tremendous products and serves, aiming at promoting the commodities. • Nowadays, a lot of people feel puzzled about the differences between brand names and brand marks and even some people think that brand names are equal to brand marks. • In order to help people to tell them clearly, the differences between them will be distinguished. So called brand mark is made up by images and words, while, brand names refer to words only, consisting in some letters.

1、从功能主义目的论看服装商标品牌的翻译
Take a Hong Kong’s brand name ”B.CHOW”(比俏) as an example, the Chinese version is an outstanding one, because it vividly describes the mood of “wang to be more charming than others”, on think of this, the brand name becomes unforgettable forever. And there are also many other good brand names which are so fresh and striking that people can not forget them from the first sight, such as “PLAYBOY(花花公子)”,”ROMANKING(罗马帝王)”,”与狼共舞”,etc.
There is brand name called GROUND SHOW(阁孄秀), which is a fantabulous translation from English to Chinese, it takes both the sound and meaning into consideration and all the three Chinese characters are elegant words in Chinese language, thus the brand name can attract more customer. Other examples are”香舍尔”, “千黛百合”, “UGE(依梦)”.

ABSTRACT
The 21st century is the age of economic globalization. The export and import of domestic and overseas products become much more frequent. Therefore the translation of brand names shows its great importance in helping the transnational companies to open new markets on foreign lands. A successful version will, to a large extent, improve the brand image among customers. Though many companies have realized the significance of brand name translation, some problems still exist today like abusing pinyin, over-complexity and neglecting cultural association. To avoid these mistakes, translators are required to get familiar with the basic theories in translating brand names. Generally speaking, there hasn’t been systematic study on translation of brand names. But some scholars like Nida and Newmark have ever established their theories in this area. On the basis of their theories, some main translating methods are introduced in this article. They are transliteration, literal translation, free translation, combining transliteration and free translation, and transference. All of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, so translators should make cautious use of them when translating brand names. To reflect the best effect of advertising, the translation should stick to principles of concision, equivalence and association. At last, the conclusion is reached that the standard of how good the translation is lies in how successfully the version achieves the advertising function. So with the purpose of attracting customers, translators should produce the most suitable versions by studying customers’ psychology and aesthetic appreciation.

摘要
二十一世纪是全球经济一体化的时代,国内外商品的进出口日益频繁。因此,对于跨国公司而言,品牌翻译在开发国外新市场上起着举足轻重的作用。而一个成功的翻译可以在很大程度上帮助公司提升其在消费者心目中的品牌形象。虽然许多公司已经意识到了品牌翻译的重要性,但是如今的品牌翻译还是存在着很多问题,比如说过分依赖拼音翻译,过于复杂拗口以及忽略文化联想。为了避免出现这些错误,译者因当先熟悉一些基础的翻译理论。总体而言,迄今为止还未有针对品牌翻译的系统研究。但一些象奈达和纽马克的学者曾提出过相关的理论。从而在他们的理论基础上,本文将介绍五种主要的品牌翻译方法。这些方法有其各自的优势与缺点,所以译者因当谨慎选择适当的翻译方法。而为了充分发挥品牌的广告效应,译文应当遵循简洁,等价以及联想。最后得出结论,品牌翻译优劣取决于译文是否充分发挥了品牌的广告功能。因此,本着吸引顾客的目的,译者应当通过研究顾客的心理与审美来制定最佳的译本。
