uot;. The Chinese translation "成功的标志" and "黑标啤酒" represents the dual meaning of the word "label" correspondingly. This pun in this English advertisement highlights the image of the Whiskey and success, moreover, serves the consumers for remembering this Whiskey.

3.5 Chinese four-letter structure translation
There exist many differences between English and Chinese language, however, there are some coinciding part between them. In the process of translation of these puns, the Chinese four-letter structure translation, balancing the form and meaning of the pun, is chosen to transfer the two levels of meaning successfully. The majority of Chinese advertisements is four-letter structure form which it can be traced back to the four-letter expression in a classic literature work named "Shi Jing": "关关雎鸠,在河之洲窈窕淑女,君子好逑......".

Furthermore, the Chinese four-letter structure translation, kind, spontaneous and rhythmic, can attain the maxim of equivalent feeling between Chinese readers and English readers.
