《世纪商务英语》翻译讲义AdvertisementsUnit 7 Advertisements1.Adverting is a way of bringing information to the public for the purpose of selling a product, a service, an idea, or an event. The information is transmitted by means of the printed word or even the air. It may be presented as a simple statement of fact, or, as is more frequently the case, it may be offered in colorful or even emotional language. All advertising is intended to stimulate people to do some specific thing, such as buying a product, ordering a service, joining an organization, attending a meeting, or thinking sympathetically about a situation. Each advertising is paid for by a person, a group, an organization, or a business enterprise seeking to advance his or its goals.Consumer advertising can be directed to different parts of a market. For example, producers advertise through magazines and radio and television programs that appeal to the portion of the market they wish to reach. A cereal manufacturer would schedule commercials for television cartoon shows in order to make children aware of a product. A tire maker would use air ads during sporting events to appeal to the adult male audience.Trade advertising is aimed at middlemen of all kinds. Trade ads try to persuade wholesalers and retailers to stock specific goods. Industrial advertising is directed to producers of manufactured goods. Agricultural advertising goes to the agricultural producers. Professional advertising is aimed at people such as doctors, teachers and architects, who recommend products but do not purchase them directly./doc/a6dbcee8dd3383c4bb4cd2fa.html nguage features(1)Verbs, adjs, pronouns, coinageNestle Ice Cream: Take time to indulge!
