(1)The increase in global trade means that international companies cannot afford to make costly advertising mistakes if they want to be competitive.
(2)Understanding the language and culture of target markets in foreign countries is one of the keys to successful international marketing. Too many companies, however, have jumped into foreign markets with embarrassing results.
(3)Translation mistakes are at the heart of many blunders in international advertising.
(4)General Motors, the US auto manufacturer, got a costly lesson when it introduced its Chevrolet Nova to the Puerto Rican market. "Nova" is Latin for "new(star)" and means "star" in many languages, but in spoken Spanish it can sound like "nova", meaning "it doesn’t go". Few people wanted to buy a car with that cursed meaning. When GM changed the name to Caribe, sales "picked up" dramatically.
(5)Marketing blunders have also been made by food and beverage companies. One American food company’s friendly "Jolly Green Giant"(for advertising vegetables)became something quite different when it was translated into Arabic as "Intimidating Green Ogre".
(6)When translated into German, Pepsi’s popular slogan, "Come Alive with Pepsi" came out implying "Come Alive from the Grave". No wonder customers in Germany didn’t rush out to buy Pepsi.
(7)Successful international marketing doesn’t stop with good translations—other aspects of culture must be researched and understood if marketers are to avoid blunders.
(8)When marketers do not understand and appreciate the values, tastes, geography, climate, superstitions, religion, or economy of a culture, they fail to capture their target market.
(9)For example, an American designer tried to introduce a new perfume into the Latin American market but the product aroused little interest The main reason was that the camellia used in it was traditionally used for funerals in many South American countries.
(10)Having awakened to the special nature of foreign advertising, companies are becoming much more conscientious in their translations and more sensitive to the cultural distinctions.
(11)The best way to prevent errors is to hire professional translators who understand the target language and its idiomatic usage, or to use a technique called "back translation" to reduce the possibility of blunders.
(12)The process uses one person to translate the message into the target language and another to translate it back. Effective translators aim to capture the overall message of an advertisement because a word-for-word duplication of the original rarely conveys the intended meaning and often causes misunderstandings.
(13)In designing advertisements for other countries, messages need to be short and simple. They should also avoid jokes, since what is considered funny in one part of the world may not be so humorous in another. [br] Which of the following statements can be used to summarize the gist from Para. 3 to Para. 6?
选项
A、Cultural shocks.
B、Faulty translations.
C、Avoid cultural oversights.
D、Prevent blunders.
答案
B
解析
根据题干定位到第3至6段,第3段点出许多国际广告所犯的错误中,最核心的是翻译错误,然后第4至6段举例说明这一点,由此可知B“错误的翻译”与文意相符,为本题答案。A“文化冲击”、C“避免文化方面的疏忽”、D“防止出错”均不能表达这几段文意,故均可排除。
