Abstract: This paper aims at finding out the principle and strategies of metaphor translation in advertisement from the perspective of relevance theory.

In modern commercial advertising, different forms of metaphor are widely used and turn out to be an effective and distinctive device. The author makes a detailed exploration on the vivid language features of advertisement and concludes that metaphor is the soul of advertisement. Then the author extends a thorough analysis of metaphor, and metaphor translation based on the principle of optimal relevance of relevance theory. As a result, a cognitive framework for metaphor translation between English and Chinese is provided, and the strategies of metaphor translation are proposed.
