Both of the themwo hold that rhetoric is used to establish a common ground between the audience and the persuader,

In the 1950s, Kenneth Burke stood out in the crowd in the surge of “new rhetoric theory”, improving the rhetoric theory on the basis of his predecessor Aristotles theory of common ground.

7、Besides, Kenneth comes up with the identification theory, and refines the definition of rhetoric theory as “a language used by people to express attitude or guide other people to do something” (1969: 22). The most important part of his theory is his persuasive mechanism which consists of three modes

8、 of persuasion., Iin other words, ethos, pathos and logos. He uses it to evaluate the traditional perception of rhetoric as persuasion. Burke suggests that whenever someone attempts to persuade someone else, identification occurs, because for persuasion to occur, one party must “identity” with anoth

(Ju Yumei, 2011)With globalization of world economy, English advertising and its translation are

14、becoming increasingly significant. The research on the translation of advertisements can help to realize the communication between different cultures and develop the theory of cross-cultural translation.
