yourself with luxury in Peerless,tradition-contemporary in styling-and,so elegant in appearance.,Peerless Dovetail units use only Highest,Quality Materials and are fully guaranteed.,Centuries ago,they set out to brew the,worlds finest beer.Today,their triumph is,Tuborg Gold,the golden beer of Danish kings.,Share with your friends the pleasure of world,famous Tuborg-,Torben强调,广告并非简单地反映我们这个,现实世界,而是展示一个人们向往的理想的,世界。无论汉语广告还是英语广告,夸大其,词、言过其实的数不胜数。以上英、汉广告,明显有夸大事实之嫌,使人难以完全相信,,但创造了一种理想的商品境界,迎合一部分,消费者的生活观念和消费要求,颇能撩拨起,他们的消费欲望。,追求生活乐趣尽情享受人生不仅仅体现在吃、,穿、住这些方面,还表现在追求精神享受和,生活气派诸方面。如:一部分富裕的中国人,和大多数西方人一样,花大笔大笔的钱购买,高档电视机、录相机、高级音响、影碟机等,娱乐设备以创造美满的精神生活。越来越多,的中国人同西方人一样购置豪华摩托车和高,级汽车,使自己的生活方便、气派。还有为,数不少的中国人像西方人一样,毫不吝啬地,花钱旅游,尽情欣赏大自然中那些引人入胜,的天然美景。国内许多广告主会针对人们追,求享乐时髦的生活价值观念和生活消费方式、,精心设计、巧妙创造出图文并茂、令受众倾,心、激发受众消费行动的不同凡响的广告。,如高档娱乐设施广告、高级摩托车、豪华汽,车广告、旅游服务广告处处可见。例如:,让您拥有完美的享受!(电视机),独乐乐,与众乐乐,熟乐?(卡拉OK),连接影碟回声宏亮,随时随地尽情歌唱!(音响),雅马哈的最新成就与中国航天工业的完美,结合南方摩托车!,皇冠以其卓越的功能向中国未来的汽车化,社会倾述心曲!(皇冠轿车),中国杭州平静似湖,柔滑似丝。,With

econo-,my,excellent handling,and accurate steering,while trumping most of them with its outstan-,ding roominess and stunning looks,”-Luxu-,ries include leather-trimmed seats and two,driver memory

WARM in FLORIDA year,round-FLORIDA HAS FANTASTIC Beaches,on BOTH its coasts.You will have to choose,between the COLDCOAST(Atlantic)and,GULF COAST(Gulf of Mexico).FLORIDA,is a land of Speaking

FLORIDA is a land of Smiles and,Welcome and that Welcome is in ENGLISH,(Virgin Territory,British Travel Service P.23),这样的广告往往以情动人,以诚动人,以,实惠打动消费者的心,通常十分成功。,二、爱情与广告语言,爱情是人生的重要精神支柱,生活不能没有,爱情,就像生物不能没有阳光一样。爱情是,文学艺术的永恒的美好的主题,也是广告者,喜爱运用的具有魅力的策略之一。与爱情有,关的广告的广告词几乎比比皆是。例如:,“我凝视着你,渴望拥有你,所以我把你拉,近虽然相距120尺,但我也感觉到你的热,情。”(照相机广告),献给爱情永远的信徒(情人手表),永恒的爱情,无悔的爱!(结婚戒指),爱过才知道情意浓,用了都说“爱情”好,爱情多美好。(声宝牌爱情洗衣机广告),Gold is for lovers.A diamond is forever.,(Gillian Dyer,1988:116),Love carefully.Love faithfully.(Slogan for a com-paign emphasizing the condom)(ibid),Let John Gray help you build true love and,strong relationships with all his best selling,books!(March27,1997,USA TODAY),(21)A Guide for Navigating the 5 Stages of,Dating to Create a Loving and Lasting,Relationship.(ibid.),爱情是美好的,甜蜜的,宝贵的,是人人都渴,望的。广告人将商品与爱情和相爱的人联系起,来,巧妙地把爱情转移到商品上,再转移到商,品购买者及其所爱的人身上,从而创造了商品,的美好价值和美好形象,这样的产品,孰不动,心?,三、健康观念与广告语言,健康对于人生是高于一切的,没有健康,就没,有人生的价值。人人都希望自己健康长寿,注,重健康。但是,各种社会压力,家庭负担、对,财富、成功的追求和优裕奢侈的生活都容易使,人丧失健康。生产商和广告主根据人们的健康,观念和保健需求,通过各种媒体向人们推出各,种各样的营养补品、健康食品和增进人体健康,的设备和药物,在“健康”上“狠下功夫”。例如:,(22)一寸光阴一寸金,寸金难买寸光阴;常服,东山盖寿宝,活到一百不显老!(口服液),(23)护肝宁,保您永远康宁!(扩肝宁),(24)难言之隐痊愈,性病病毒克星!(医药),(25)为了健康,请买“空调病”克星(负离子发生器广告),(26)天寿千年,仅此一物!(金龟胶囊),(27)取大自然精华,赋全人类健康!(中药),(28)春光明媚,处处有芳草。中草药牙膏,止,血脱敏,芳草有特效。使你健康,生活更,美好。(芳草牙膏电视广告),(29)Dextrim
