从功能对等角度来看品牌翻译过程的再创造

From a Perspective of Functional Equivalence: To Recreate Brand Translation

摘要: “功能对等”是美国著名的语言学家尤金·A·奈达提出的著名的翻译理论，它认为翻译是用最恰当、自然和对等的语言从语义到文体再现源语的信息，它不仅仅是词汇意义上的对等还包括语义、风格和文体的对等，翻译传达的信息既有表层词汇信息也有深层的文化信息。品牌翻译是打造多元化市场必不可少的因素之一，它的目的是更好地使公司的品牌适应这个多元化的市场。把“功能对等”理论运用到品牌翻译当中，对品牌翻译具有重要的实践指导意义。在品牌翻译的具体实践过程中，译者从品牌文化本身出发，兼顾语言层面、文化层面和不同地域消费者心理层面，对品牌翻译进行再创造。
