Abstract

 

As a symbol of a commodity or service, a trademark is one of the key factors conveying to customers the information such as its utility value, quality and reputation. In order to enter into the international market, it is necessary to render the trademark into English. In this case, cultural differences and influences must be taken into account. Based on G. N. Leech’s seven meanings of words, this paper firstly analyzes different connotations of several common animal names, colors and certain numbers in different cultures. And then it discusses their influences on trademark translation. Finally, some translation strategies are put forward, namely, conforming to the ideographic function of trademarks, attaching importance to target consumers’ mainstream culture, culture transfer, consumer psychology and the like.

Key words: cultural differences; trademark; translation strategies
