1. Introduction
With the rapid development of international commerce and promotional international exchanges, advertising translation theory and practice have a significant function in international economic prosperity. Advertising, a kind of special text unlike novels, poems, editorials and others, has very specific purpose to sell their product or service with profit.
Translating advertising into another new language is different from the original language translation, the translator needs to have knowledge about social, cultural, language, aesthetics, economics, folklore, advertising essence and other aspects. At the same time, there needs some new policy principle when translate. Vermeer proposes that the Skopos Theory is a translation function theory. In his definition, behavior certainly has a purpose, the purpose is to analyze why. Vermeer thinks translation is an action under the guidance of three rules like Skopos rule, coherence rule and fidelity rule. Between them, fidelity should obey coherence, and both rules obey the Skopos rule.
2. Literature Review
In the history of translation researches, people use the most authoritative standard like equivalence or faithfulness to evaluate the quality of translation and whether it is successful or not. This way of translation evaluation is conventional and over-simplified. Although this trend plays an active role in guiding practice of translation and regulating the field of it, other factors should not be ignored, because translation is a complex human activity and the study of translation also should be descriptive. Under the situation, the Skopos theory, by viewing translation as an action with purpose, tries to open up a new perspective on such aspects as the status of the source text, the target text, their relationship, the essential of translation, the thought of the translator, translation standards and strategies. Skopos theory is the nature of the translation function theory which is proposed by Hans J. Vermeer in Germany in the 1970s. This is a new view to research translation, which is no longer restricted by the view of conventional original text oriented. Vermeer finds that every behavior has a purpose, and, of course translation is an action, it will have a purpose too. The purpose is assigned to every translation by means of commission.源:自*优尔`%论,文'网·www.youerw.com/
