2.1Transliteration

TransliterationisbasedonthepronunciationofEnglishtrademarks,whicharetranslatedinthesameorsimilarpronunciationofChinesecharacters.Itsadvantageisthatitcanmaintaintheoriginalpronunciationadvantageoftheoriginalbrandandbrandname,whichcanreflecttheexoticatmosphereofthegoods.Takingtransliterationoftrademarknameismainlycomposedofapersonsname,enterprisenameorotherpropernoun.ThismethodisusedinbothEnglishtrademarktranslationandChinesetrademarktranslation.AcommonusedfortransliterationEnglishtrademark,suchasSony,LOrea,Nike,Casio,Revlon,Ikeaetc.

2.2SyntheticPhonics

2.3Spelling

Thetrademarktakingspellingwhichismoresimplyandintuitive,andisnameddirectlyintheformofpinyin.Suchas:大寶（DABAO）、六神（LIUSHEN）、華為（HUAWEI）etc.WhenweusepinyintotranslatethenameofanEnglishtrademark,sometimesitdoesnothavecorrespondingwordsorexpressionsofChinese.Sometrademarkswillbepresentedintheformofpinyininthetranslationprocess,butthewordmayhavedifferentmeaningsinEnglish-speakingcountries.Forexample,thereisatrademarkcalled“FUCKPincers”,whichprobablyinitialsofthecompanyname.ButinEnglish,thewordmeans“cheating,cajoling”orevensexslang.Therefore,whenwetranslatetrademarks,weshouldbecarefulofeachcountryofculturaldifferencesandculturaltaboos.Althoughtheuseofpinyintranslationoftrademarkshavefailedcases,buttheuseofPinyintranslationoftrademarkshaveasuccessfulcase.Suchas“ChunLan”（春蘭空調(diào)）and“ChangHong”（長虹空調(diào)）.Butthesesuccessesareintheminority.Sometrademarksthatusepinyintranslationcanbemisleading,producenegativeassociationsandcauseambiguity.Suchasthelipstickbrand“芳芳”,translatedbypinyinas“FangFang”,butinEnglish,theword“Fang”means“along,sharptoothofadog;asnake’spoison-tooth”.So,forcosmeticsthatwanttomakepeoplebeautiful,thetranslationistoodifferentfromitsoriginalmeaning,anditcantarouseconsumersdesiretobuy.Althoughpinyintranslationisrelativelysimplecomparedwithothertranslationmethods,butthetrademarkisonlyasign,whichusuallylosesthedeepmeaningoftheoriginaltrademark.Forexample,“金龍”translatesto“KingLong”.Thepronunciationof“金”and“King”isveryclose,andithasanoblemeaning,andthisconversionisreasonable.InChina,“龍”isthesymbolofChineseculture,symbolizingthemeaningofjusticeandprosperity,buttheword“Long”inEnglishpronunciationfor“Wolf”sowiththemeaningof“龍”haveacleardifferenceinmeaning.Inthesecases,thelossoftheoriginalmeaningofthetrademarkbutalsotoforeignconsumerspuzzled,donotunderstandwhatthesetrademarksmean,thusaffectingthesalesvolume.

2.4LiberalTranslation

Theliberaltranslationreferstothetranslationaccordingtothepurportoftheoriginaltext,notthewordtranslation.Usuallyinthetranslationofsentencesorphrasesusedmore,liberaltranslationismainlyusedintheoriginallanguageandthetranslationoflargeculturaldifferencesinthecase.Liberaltranslationismoreabletoreflectthelanguagecharacteristicsofthenation.Thetransliterationoftrademarkmeansthatthetranslatorhastoabandontheliteralmeaningoftheoriginaltextinordertoconformtotheoriginalcontentandthemainlanguagefunction,whichisbasedonthenationalcultureandfocusesontheculturalconnotation.Inotherwords,thetransliterationisacompletelyliteraltranslation.Suchas“RedBull”（紅牛飲料），“Microsoft”（微軟），Theliberaltranslation,alsocalledFunctionalequivalencetranslation,usuallyonlychoosesthecontentoftheoriginaltextanddiscardsitsform,whichisakindoftranslationafterdigestion.Forexample:“雀巢咖啡”translatedintoNescafe.NescafeistheabbreviationofNestleCoffee,whydoyouhavethistranslation?BecausethecoffeesoutsourcingbottlecapisprintedwiththedesignofNestle,itsEnglishisNestle,andthe“咖啡”translationiscoffee,sointranslating,Thetranslatoraccordingtothemeaningtaketwowordstogetheris“Nescafe”.
