According to Verschueren, language has three features: variability, negotiability and adaptability. This thesis attempts to explore how, under this theoretical framework, different and yet interdependent constraints on the translation process play their roles in the translation of advertisement through the comparison between the source text and the target text.

Key problem：In the domestic market, some merchants are eager to procure profit and translators are churning out, which makes the advertisement translations of many brands inaccurate or deviate from the original public slogans of the products.It is actually not conducive to the development of commercial and advertising translation.
