The Advertising Game
广告竞赛
Para.1
The advertising industry started with the fundamental purpose of promoting and selling goods to people who might need them.
广告业的根本目的是向潜在消费者推销商品。
Advertising agencies would create a basic type of advertisement known as a commercial advertisement.
广告代理公司创造出一种基本的广告形式,也就是我们所熟知的商业广告。
Such advertisements have gone through a process of change over the years along with social, economic technological developments.
与社会、经济和技术发展过程同步,多年来这些广告经历了一个变化的过程。
go through遭受,经历;仔细察看,检查;(法律、合同等正式)通过;复习;重复
Para.2
Classic advertisements used to give information about finding certain products.
以前,经典的广告会给出识别产品的信息。
It was likely to be the name of a company, part of which might include the name of the place from which the product originated.
这些信息可能是公司名,其中一部分可能包含产品的原产地。
used to表示过去经常性或习惯性的动作或状态现在已经结束,would则表示有可能再发生。
(1)It is likely to do /that...可能……
sb. /sth. be likely to do sth. 某人/某物有可能做某事
(2)其他表示“……可能……”的句型:
It is probable that...
It is possible that...
It is possible for sb. to do sth.
注意:likely的主语可以是人,也可以是物;而possible,probable的主语只能为it。
For example, it could be “Shanghai Sewing Machines”, or“Tsing Tao Beer Corporation”.
比如,“上海缝纫机厂”或“青岛啤酒公司”。
From the name you would know what the company sells, where they are located, and the name of the product.
一看名字,你就知道这些公司销售的具体产品、所在地点以及产品名称。
Para.3
Advertising agencies used to create this kind of advertising and it could be very effective.
广告代理公司过去常制作这种广告,而且效果很好。
But then they realised that it might not be suitable for a marketplace where products and services are in direct competition with each other.
但后来他们意识到,在产品与服务直接竞争的市场上,这种广告类型可能不太适合。
be suitable for/to 适合于
Particularly now, in modern times, advertisements need to attract and hold the attention of the public.
特别是在当代社会,广告需要吸引、保持公众的注意力。
For this reason, it's now normal to see advertisements that consist of pictures or words from experts to show people how good the product is.
因此,现在的广告常常引用专家的图片、文字,向人们展示产品有多棒。
in particular 尤其,额外,为介词短语,位于句末。particular adj. 尤其的,特别的
?consist of 由……组成,没有被动语态且不用于进行时。
Others try to create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at.
还有一些广告代理公司尝试制作具有观赏性的广告。
As present-day advertisers often have large budgets, huge mounts of money are spent on applying modern design techniques to make these advertisements as visually attractive as possible.
现在的广告客户通常预算充足,他们会花大笔的钱采用现代设计技术,让广告更具视觉吸引力
However, even this is often not enough to be noticed in a modern city.
然而,即便是这种广告方式在现代城市中也不足以引起消费者的注意。
separate sth from sth 把……与……区别开来
Para.4
Because of the boost in advertising, people are used to seeing a high standard of visual design.
因为广告业的迅速发展,人们早已对那些高水准的视觉设计习以为常。
Modern advertisements need something else to separate them from their competitors.
现代广告需要另外一些东西,以便将它们与其他竞争者区别开来。
stand out 突出;出色
stand for 主张,代表;容忍
shand by 袖手旁观
combine…with… 把……与……结合起来
in combination with 与……联合起来
To stand out in a world of competitive advertising, they must combine the highest standard of design with creative ways to make people believe that they“must have the product”.
为了在竞争激烈的广告界凸显出来,他们必须将最高水准的设计与创造性的方法结合起来,使人们确信他们“必须购买这种产品”。
For example, some advertisements may suggest that buying a car can make you free.
例如,一些广告可能会暗示买车能让你自由。
That is, they use the concept of freedom to sell the car. Other common ideas include happiness, wealth and success.
也就是说,广告代理公司借用自由的概念销售汽车。其他常见概念销售包括幸福、财富和成功。
In fact, in the world of advertisements, such content is as old as advertising itself.
事实上,这些概念和广告业一样历史悠久。
Para.5
For many of today's advertisers, repeating old ideas is not a successful approach.
对很多今天的广告商而言,重复过去的广告并不会获得成功。
Ideas that would work in the past genuinely are not as effective now.
过去的确可行的想法,放到现在并不一定有效。
They realise that it does not matter how attractive the idea linked with the product is — most people know anticipate that the main purpose of the advertisement is to make customers buy the product.
他们意识到与产品关联的概念有多么吸引人并不重要——大多数人都明白,广告的主要目的就是让客户购买产品。
linked... with...把......与......连接起来
Instead, these advertisers look for other ways to make people notice their products.
于是,广告商转而通过打广告,让更多的消费者注意到自己的产品。
The top advertisers of today believe that using humour as well as new and unusual ideas to surprise people is important.
当今顶级广告商认为广告要用幽默、新颖、奇特的创意给人们带来惊喜。
Their aim is to create something that has never been seen before and that people find interesting. By doing this, they hope to make people forget that someone is trying to sell them something.
他们的目的是创造一些人们从未见过的东西,从而让人们觉得有趣,进而让消费者忘记有人在试图向他们推销商品!
当先行词为不定代词时,定语从句关系代词只用that,做宾语可以省略
Para.6
However, not all advertising is about selling products and services for a profit. Some advertisements nowadays aim to make a contribution to society and welfare.
然而,并非所有的广告都是以盈利为目的销售产品与服务,现在还有一些广告的目的在于为社会和福利作贡献。
not all为部分否定,意为“并非都”。
aim to do sth.旨在做某事
For example, there are public advertisements, which encourage citizens to participate in improving their neighbourhood, protecting the environment, and helping other people.
比如公益广告,它鼓励市民参与改善社区、保护环境和帮助他人的活动。
participate in (doing) sth. 参加(做)某事
encourage sb. to do sth 鼓励某人做某事
Over the last decade, the government has sponsored advertisements to educate the public on fighting AIDS, saving water, helping the poor, giving up smoking,etc.
过去的十多年里,政府赞助了一些公益广告,教育公众防治艾滋病,呼吁民众节约用水、帮助贫困人口、戒烟等。
These advertisements have helped to increase public knowledge about topics that used to be ignored by most people, and this has made our society a better place for everyone.
这些广告帮助公众增强对以往被忽视话题的公共认知,也让我们的社会更加美好。
3.What is the text type of this passage What helped you identify the text type
