SECTION Ⅴ LESSON 3
[教材原文]
The advertising industry started with the fundamental purpose of promoting and selling goods to people who might need them.Advertising agencies would create a basic type of advertisement known as a commercial advertisement.Such advertisements have gone through a process of change over the years along with social,economic and technological developments.
Classic advertisements used to give information about finding certain products.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.For example,it could be “Shanghai Sewing Machines”,or “Tsing Tao Beer Corporation”.From the name you would know what the company sells,where they are located,and the name of the product.
Advertising agencies used to create this kind of advertising and it could be very effective.But then they realised that it might not be suitable for a marketplace where products and services are in direct competition with each other.Particularly now,in modern times,advertisements need to attract and hold the attention of the public.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.Others try to create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at.As presentday advertisers often have large budgets,huge amounts of money are spent on applying modern design techniques to make these advertisements as visually attractive as possible.However,even this is often not enough to be noticed in a modern city.
Because of the boost in advertising,people are used to seeing a high standard of visual design.Modern advertisements need something else to separate them from their competitors.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”.For example,some advertisements may suggest that buying a car can make you free.That is,they use the concept of freedom to sell the car.Other common ideas include happiness,wealth and success.In fact,in the world of advertisements,such content is as old as advertising itself.
For many of today's advertisers,repeating old ideas is not a successful approach.Ideas that would work in the past genuinely are not as effective now.They realise that it does not matter how attractive the idea linked with the product is—most people know and anticipate that the main purpose of the advertisement is to make customers buy the product.Instead,these advertisers look for other ways to make people notice their products.The top advertisers of today believe that using humour as well as new and unusual ideas to surprise people is important.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!
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.For example,there are public advertisements,which encourage citizens to participate in improving their neighbourhood,protecting the environment,and helping other people.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.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.
[汉语译文]
广告业的根本目的是向潜在消费者推销商品。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。随着社会、经济和技术的发展,多年来这些广告经历了相应的变化过程。
以前,经典的广告会给出识别产品的信息。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,比如,“上海缝纫机厂”或“青岛啤酒公司”。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。
广告代理公司过去常制作这种广告,而且效果很好。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。特别是在当代社会,广告需要吸引、保持公众的注意力。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。还有一些广告代理公司尝试制作具有观赏性的广告。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。但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。
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。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。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”。例如,一些广告可能会暗示买车能让你自由。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。事实上,这些概念和广告业一样历史悠久。
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。过去可行的想法,放到现在并不一定有效。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。于是,广告商通过其他方式,让更多的消费者注意到自己的产品。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。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!
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,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。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。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。
