1、Section_Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 Prereading 原文呈现The classic advertisement is onethat gives information about finding certain products. It is likely to be just the name of a company, part of which may be a general location. For example, it could be “Shanghai Sewing Machine”, or “Tsing Tao BeerCorporation”
2、, and you would know what the companies sell, where they are located, and the brand names.However, this kind of advertising might not be suitable when there are products and services in direct competition with each other in the market place. In such situations, advertisements need to attract, and ho

Others try to create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at. As presentday advertisers often have large budgets, a lot of money is spent on applying m

7、面。当今的广告商常常拥有大量的预算,所以他们把许多钱用在现代设计技术上,以使这些广告在视觉上尽可能地吸引人。However, even this is often not enough to be noticed in a modern city. Because of the advertising boom, people are used to seeing high standards of visual design. Modern advertisements must stand out in a world full of competition by combining th
8、e highest standards of design with ideas linked to the products to make them more attractive. 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,
9、 in the world of advertisements, such content is as old as advertising itself.For many of todays advertisers, repeating old ideas is not a successful approach. They realise that it does not matter how attractive the idea linked with the product is most people know that the main purpose of the advert

The top advertisers of today believe that using humour as well as new and unusual ideas to surprise people is important in modern advertisements. Their aim is to create somet

14、something。try to do sth.设法/努力做某事try doing sth.尝试做某事第34段译文然而即使这样,也经常不足以在现代城市中引起关注。由于广告业的繁荣,人们已习惯于看到高水准的视觉设计。现代广告必须把最高水平的设计和产品理念相结合,以增强吸引力,这样才能在激烈的竞争中胜出。例如,有些广告示意买车会使你自由。其实,他们是在用自由的理念来卖车。其他常见的理念包括幸福、财富和成功。事实上,就广告界而言,这些内容和广告本身一样陈旧。对当今众多的广告商来说,重复旧的理念已不是有效的办法。他们意识到,与产品相关联的理念多么吸引人并不重要多数人知道广告的主要目的就是让消费者花钱。
15、相反,这些广告商寻找其他方式来使人们关注他们的产品。当今的顶级广告商认为。在现代广告中运用既出其不意、新颖独特又幽默的创意很重要。他们的目的是要创造一种人们以前没有见过的、赏心悦目的东西。他们希望这样做会使人们忘记有人正在向他们推销商品!However, not alladvertising is about selling products and services for a profit.
