The translators should also pay attention to some cultural taboos and choose appropriate method to translate. Of course, brand name translation is not a simple thing.
Sometimes the good translated name likes the inherent one, when we translate brand name there is something we can do to strive for perfection. One good kind of commodity adding on a good name is not different with improving on perfection, and its charm is infinite.

摘　要

商標(biāo)名的翻譯是一種跨文化交際形式，不管是中文商標(biāo)的英譯還是英文商標(biāo)的漢譯，都會(huì)涉及到語言規(guī)律、文化心理、審美情趣等方面的因素。商標(biāo)翻譯者在遵循翻譯原則的同時(shí)，也要注意一些商標(biāo)翻譯的文化禁區(qū)，并且選擇適當(dāng)?shù)姆椒▉磉M(jìn)行翻譯。當(dāng)然，商標(biāo)的翻譯絕不是簡單的問題。
有時(shí)好的譯名也有自然天成的味道，所以在翻譯商標(biāo)時(shí)我們大有文章可做，可以精益求精。一種好的商品，加上一個(gè)動(dòng)聽上口的名字，無異于錦上添花，魅力無窮。
