The public service ads is a mirror reflecting the civilization and progress of a society. In order to better display the good image of Chinese civilization and progress in opening up and international communication, the translation of public service ads is becoming more and more important. Therefore, the author thinks that the C-E translation of public service ads is necessary to study. However, at present, there are few research achievements in this field in China, and I can only find about ten relevant papers. Jin Haibing(2005) discussed mainly from the angle of literal translation and free translation in the translation of public service ads, and he also mentioned problems about politeness in ads translation: ” although polite expressions of different languages are different, all follow certain politeness principle. Public service ads should be translated in a polite manner and should show different measures of politeness as needed.#8217; However, Hu Lianwei (2009) took a different approach. He explored the C-E translation of public service ads from the perspective of pragmatic translation, by taking two key factors of pragmatic language equivalence and social pragmatic equivalent into consideration, he respectively studied the C-E translation of public service ads. And Chen Yanhong (2012) studied the C-E translation strategy from cultural perspective, she said: ” individualism is very strong in English ads to emphasize their own personal value, that is why second person is commonly used in their public service ads.

First of all, this topic should study the language characteristics of Chinese public service ads . For example, one of the features of Chinese public service ads is concise words and harmony of phonology. This is for the convenience of public reading, memorizing and understanding. At the same time, in order to leave people with a deep and vivid impression, Chinese public service ads always use many ingenious artistic technique of expression. For instance: (1) cherish life and stay away from drugs. (2) hand in hand, public interest. (3) to light up hope and sow the earth with love. From these three ads, we can find that there are few words in every ads, so as to facilitate reading and memorizing. Moreover, the three ads use dual rhetoric which is a two-statement with equal words, similar in structure. The use of the dual sentence pattern makes the public service ads look neat, beautiful and rhythmic,so that it can penetrate into people#8217;s heart. However, due to the huge cultural differences between China and the west, the C-E translation of public service ads needs special attention. Therefore, this topic will then summarize the C-E translation strategies of public service ads in accordance with some examples and comparisons.
