　　公益广告(public service advertisement)指为社会公众的利益和社会风尚服务的广告。它不以盈利为目的，属于非商业性广告，是社会公益事业(cause of the public good)的重要组成部分。公益广告的主题一般取材于老百姓的日常生活，如健康、安全和环保等。目的是提高公众的道德意识，改变公众对社会问题的态度。中国最早的公益广告出现在1986年。随后，公益广告的社会影响力逐渐增强。去年,中央电视台举办了首次电视公益广告大赛，呼吁社会各界关注并参与公益事业。

　　1.第一句的主干结构可理解为“公益广告指…广告”，即Public service advertisement refers to the advertisement...。“为社会公众的利益和社会风尚服务的”是“广告”的定语，由于定语较长，可将其处理为that引导的定语从句，修饰“广告”。

　　2.第二句由三个分句构成，可将“它不以盈利为目的，属于非商业性广吿”处理成主句，即it is a noncommercial and does not aim at making profit。“是社会公益事业的重要组成部分”可采用“as+名词短语” 结构，译作as a significant part of the cause of the public good，置于句首。这样翻译比译为并列句或定语从句更加简洁明了。

　　3.“目的是提高公众的道德意识，改变公众对社会问题的态度”一句较简单，可直译为Its objective are...。“提高”和“改变”可表达为raising...and changing...也可用不定式来表达to raise...and change...。

　　4.最后一句可将“中央电视台举办了首次电视公益广告大赛”处理为英文句的主干。“呼吁…”可采用现在分词appealing to...作伴随状语。
